Mechanized Company

Imperial Guard Rites of War :: Table of Contents
Codex: Imperial Guard, p. 21

Mechanized Company's form the backbone of mounted and armoured regiments not fielding heavy armour. The Mechanized regiment is focused on moving fast, taking ground and being offensive. Skilled in rapid assaults and response, most of the Mechanized force includes light vehicles, recon elements and motor platoons with infantry mounted in transports such as Chimera and other IFV. Many liken Mechanized companies to the ancient earth cavalry forces used in ancient warfare.
