→Organisation: Adding more detail of the Raven Guard's organization during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Please alert me of any objections or if the info seems clunky.
==Organisation==
During the Great Crusade the Raven Guard Legion followed the basic organizational doctrine. The Legion was divided into chapters, chapters were divided into battalions, battalions into companies, and companies into squads. However companies were preferred for most independent operations. Legion officers devolved command responsibility to sub-commanders, allowing them to make tactical decisions and to seek the initiative without interfering with the command chain. The influence of Terran recruits from the Xeric tribes was the cause of this.{{Fn|30}}
After the Dropsite Massacre Corax was left with a tattered Legion and had to reorganize them. They were combined into divisions based on combat specializations. The tactical companies became the Talons, the assault companies became the Falcons, and light vehicle squadrons and air support were renamed the Hawks.{{Fn|30}}
The Raven Guard are a [[Codex Chapter]] who generally adhere to the [[Codex Astartes]] in their Organisation.{{Fn|7}}
