Regimental and Brigade Composition
Each Regiment has a unique composition, size, and purpose.

Light Infantry Regiments
The following is true of Invaltunian and Acridilian Regiments. Additionally, men is a general term for a member of a regiment. There are many all-male, all-female, and general regiments.

The two basic groups in a Light Infantry Regiment, the standard fireteam, and the heavy fireteam

A standard fireteam consists of three men armed with lasguns. Each fireteam elects one member as the corporal. This corporal reports to their sergeant.

A heavy fireteam consists of two men as well, but are armed differently. Each has a las pistol, and the gear they need to service the team's heavy weapon. One man is the gunner; one man is the loader.

The next group in these regiments is a section. Each squad has a sergeant, three standard fireteams, and a heavy fireteam. This makes each squad have 1 sergeant, 9 standard guardsmen, and 2 heavy gunners, totaling at 12 men. Traditionally, the sergeant moves with one of the fireteams. A section without a heavy weapon fireteam is called a squad

The next group in these regiments is the platoon. Each platoon has a command team and three sections. The command team contains a voxman, a supportsman, and a lieutenant. The lieutenant commands the platoon, while the voxman handles communication over distance between platoons and higher command. The supportsman can be a variety of individuals, but is usually a second lieutenant. The supportsman can also be a techpriest, a ministorum priest, a weapon specialist (using a plasma gun, bolter, or other special weapon), or simply a runner. With three team members in the command team and three sections with twelve men each, the platoon contains 39 men.

Companies are the next organizational group above a platoon. Each company has a command column and three platoons. Each command column contains a captain, a voxman, and three supportsmen. The supportsmen of a command column can contain voxman, a heavy fireteam, or a sniper team in addition to the other options. Command columns are more likely to have techpriests than a platoon would. With five men in the command column and three platoons with 39 men each, the company totals at 122 men.

Above a company, there is the battalion. Each battalion contains a command squad and three companies. Each command squad contains a lieutenant colonel, two voxmen, three supportmen, and a veteran fireteam. A veteran fireteam has survived long enough to earn respect. A veteran corporal is a chief adviser of a lieutenant colonel. With a command squad of 9 men and three companies of 122 men each, the battalion totals at 375 men.

The battalion is the final building block in a regiment. Three battalions and an elite command section make up a regiment. An elite command section contains a colonel, a commissar, three voxmen, four supportmen, and two senior fireteams. With 15 men in the elite command section and three companies with 375 men each, a regiment contains a total of 1140 men.

Mechanized Infantry Regiment
The following is true of Invaltunian Regiments. Mechanized infantry Regiments have significantly less voxmen due to the internal vox communications in the vehicles and the reduced amount of men to command.

There are many different basic groups of troops in a mechanized infantry regiment. There are multiple types of squads in a mechanized infantry regiment
 * Chimera Crew: 1 Driver, 1 Gunner, 1 Commander
 * Standard Fireteam: 3 Guardsmen with Lasguns, 1 is elected as the corporal and leads them when separated from the sergeant
 * Specialist Fireteam: 2 Guardsmen with laspistols, they are additionally allotted a special or heavy weapon. This gunner and loader combination can provide deadly firepower on the battlefield.
 * Sentinel: This two legged walker supports the regiment with heavy firepower
 * Ad Mech Workteam: A techpriest enginseer with four servitors

The first is a standard mechanized guardsmen transport squad. This squad contains a chimera, two standard fireteams, two specialist fireteams, and a sergeant. When the sergeant is in the chimera, chimera crew take orders directly from the sergeant and the commander is simply the hull gunner, but when the sergeant is not present, the commander issues orders to the driver. With three men in the chimera's crew, two fireteams with three men each, two fireteams with two men each, and a sergeant, the squad totals at 14 men and a chimera.

The second type of squad is a sentinel squad. The sentinel squad contains three sentinels, their pilots, and a sergeant in their own sentinel or on a bike. with three drivers and a sergeant, this squad totals at 4 men, but packs a large punch.

A platoon in a Mechanized Infantry Platoon contains two chimeras with full transports, a sentinel squad, a lieutenant, and a techpriest. The lieutenant rides in one chimera while the techpriest rides in the other. The lieutenant gives orders to the driver of the vehicle he is in, similar to how the sergeant orders the driver when he is the highest ranking individual in a vehicle. The techpriest and lieutenant will disembark when needed and can move with fireteams to get where they are needed. With the combination of squads, the platoon contains 34 men, 2 chimera, and at least 3 sentinels.

A company in a mechanized infantry regiment contains two platoons, a captain, and an Ad Mech Workteam. The captain sometimes uses bike or sentinel to keep up with the other vehicles. Counting the servitors, the company contains 74 men, four chimera, and at least 6 sentinels.

A battalion contains three companies, a lieutenant colonel, three voxmen, and an Ad Mech Workteam. The lieutenant colonel is usually too preoccupied with commanding to use a vehicle, but sometimes is issued a jeep, which a servitor can drive. A battalion has 231 men, 12 chimera, and at least 18 sentinels, but usually about 24 sentinels if commanders are using them.

A regiment contains two battalions, a colonel, two veteran transport squad for the colonel and commissar to travel with, and the commissar. The regiment has a total of 492 men, 24 chimera, and at least 36, but more likely 48 sentinels.

Armored Regiment
The following is true of Invaltunian Regiments. These regiments are excessively effective at dealing serious damage.

A tank platoon is the smallest group of troops in a Armored Regiment. Each platoon has three Leman Russ Battle Tanks and sometimes an additional Leman Russ Demolisher. One tank commander serves as the lieutenant for the tank platoon. The second in command is a sergeant is also a tank commander. Each tank platoon is between 3 and 4 vehicles and 18 and 24 men.

A support platoon is another small group that contains three vehicles, either hydras, wvyerns, or manticores. They are commanded by a lieutenant in one of the vehicles. Each contains 3 vehicles and 12 men.

A company is made of three tank platoons, a support platoon, and a command tank. The command tank is a Leman Russ Battle Tank with a captain in it. Each contain between 13 and 16 vehicles and 72 and 90 men.

A battalion contains two companies, an Ad Mech Support platoon, and a super heavy tank. The lieutenant colonel of the battalion commands from the super heavy tank. The Ad Mech support platoon contains three techpriest enginseer who each command four servitors, and a Techpriest Dominus. Including the servitors, each battalion has between 173 and 209 men and between 27 and 33 vehicles

Additionally, there are support battalions, which contain 30 Basilisk Artillery Cannons and 3 Deathstrike Missile Carriers.

Each Regiment has has two tank battalions and one support battalion. On average, the colonel of an Armored Regiment commands 93 Vehicles from their own Leman Russ Battle Tank.
