Formation and Structure
The structure of the Imperial Army is relatively streamlined into administrative divisions and operational legions. A legion will have at least three core regiments that pertain to its mission function as well as any additional squadrons or troops required to perform operationally. A legion on operations therefore is essentially a battle group.
Structure of Units
The most typical variety of Imperial Army units are structured as follows:
| Type of Unit | Field Army | Division | Legion | Regiment | Squadron | Troop | Section | Fire Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contains | 4+ Divisions | 2–3 Legions | 3–5 Regiments | 5–7 Squadrons | 3 Troops | 3 Sections | 2 Fire Teams | 4 Individuals |
| Personnel | 40,000+ | 10,000+ | 5,000+ | 550–750 | 100 | 30 | 8–10 | 4 |
| Commanded by | Imperial Legate | Dux | Legate of the Legion | Lieutenant-Colonel | Major | Captain or Lieutenant | Corporal | Chosen Man |
Table of Organisation
Palatini Corps
By a minor historical quirk, the Kaiser's personal bodyguard, the Kampioen Guards, was for a time placed under the command of the Imperial Navy. After the re-establishment of the Imperial Army, the Kampioen Guards were re-brigaded as part of the Palatini Corps of the Imperial Army.
The Kampioens were supplanted in their role by the Order of the Sentinels, which reported to the Kaiser directly and sat entirely outside the structure of the Imperial Forces.
