Squads make up the soldiers of the Space Marine Chapters. These units perform the workload in battle, and are the men who make the difference between victory and defeat. Each type of squad has a different set of equipment and function on the battlefield. The squads are split up among the ten companies of a Chapter. All Veterans and Terminators are part of the 1st Company. The 2nd through 5th Companies each have 6 Tactical squads, and 2 of both Assault and Devastator squads. The 6th and 7th Companies contain a reserve of 10 Tactical squads each, while the 8th and 9th Companies house 10 reserve Assault and Devastator squads, respectively. The 10th Company comprises the Chapter's Scout squads, though as the recruitment rate is not fixed, the size of the Company cannot be defined. |
