# Creating a Fleet To create a fleet, you first must have an existing platform. If you're unfamiliar with platforms, it is recommended you first consult the [platform-user-guide](https://docs.chassy.io/user-guides/platform-user-guide "mention"). ## How to create a fleet If you navigate to the fleet panel and click the *Create Fleet* button, you will be greeted with the fleet creation wizard which will walk you through the setup process for your fleet.
The Fleet panel gives you information on your existing machines and fleets.
You will first be asked to give your fleet a name and region. This information is useful later for monitoring.
Enter a name for your new fleet, as well as the region it belongs in.
Upon clicking *Save & Continue*, your fleet will be created. If you have not created any chips, you will be asked to create a new chip for this fleet. This form is identical to the one found in the [creating-chips](https://docs.chassy.io/user-guides/platform-user-guide/creating-chips "mention") guide. This is so you can enroll your machines.
If no chip has been created before creating a fleet, enter a new Chip Name, description, and platform.
If you have already created a chip, you will instead be asked first if you would like to select an existing chip. You can of course still opt to create a new chip using the *Add Chip* button.
Pick the chip to assign to machines in this new fleet.
After you add a chip, you will be prompted with the machine enrollment form. You can follow the instructions on screen to enroll a new machine or you can opt to enroll later using the *Enroll Later* button. More information about enrolling machines can be found in the [enrolling-machines](https://docs.chassy.io/user-guides/fleet-user-guide/enrolling-machines "mention") guide.
To add machines to your new fleet, you will have to prepare and install the command given on the screen.
