Aside from the commander Lt.Col. Hayate Yagami and her SNCO/Chief of Staff Reinforce Zwei, the main force seems to be made up of two groups, StarS squad and Ligntning Squad, with Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa being the captains respectively (StarS 1 and Lighting 1). Vita and Signum are the Vice Captains (StarS and Lightning 2) and the rest of the Wolkenritter seem to handle other tasks. The StarS Forwards are Subaru Nakajima and Teana Lanster, and the Lightning Forwards are Erio Mondial and Caro Ru Lushe. Other members of Riot Force 6 include Vice Granscenic and Shario Finieno.
In StrikerS
The main goal of Riot Force 6 is to train the Forwards, and at the same time, stop Jail Scaglietti from obtaining all the Relics. Riot Force 6 has faced heavy criticism from other branches of the TSAB because of the fact that their captain is Hayate Yagami, owner of the Book of Darkness, and a former criminal. Riot Force 6 is also criticized because they have Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate on their team, and normally such powerful mages would not be put in a single section to spare the time-space continuum the enormous strain created by their magical activity. To address the latter problem, Hayate, Nanoha, Fate, Signum, and Vita all had powerful limiters placed upon them until the very last stages of the JS Incident.
At the end of StrikerS, Riot Force 6 was disbanded because with Jail Scaglietti defeated, there was no reason for its continued existence.
In Force
The Riot Force 6 seems to have been reassembled again in Force, in order to deal with the Book of the Silver Cross Incident and the Hückebein family.
Fandom
It is a joke among some parts of the Nanoha fandom to refer to Riot Force 6 as "Hayate's Lesbian Army", because of the overwhelming percentage of its members being female and a majority of them indicating a possible attraction to another.
