The training is conducted at the unit's headquarters, Mahane 21, while security deployment is conducted in the West Bank areas of Jenin,and Nablus. The unit has also participated in many operations in multiple cities in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and Lebanon. The battalion is divided into three companies: the Sayeret/Palsar (Reconnaissance Coampany, the Palhan (Engineering and Demolitions Company, and the Palnat/Orev (Anti-tank Company).

The premiere company is the Palsar, which specializes in counter-terror, intelligence gathering, hand-to-hand combat and tunnel warfare. This "Palsar" unit is considered one of the most skilled Sayeret units due to its manpower, which is drawn primarily from Israeli Kibbutzniks, Moshavniks and foreign volunteers. The Palhan is especially decorated for their role in the Second Intifada. The unit has 14-month training period which includes 7 months of basic and advanced training, and 7 months of special forces training.
