A '''regiment''' is the primary organisational unit of the [[Imperial Guard]], and of the [[Imperial Army]] ground forces before that. The size and composition of Imperial Guard regiments is not standardised across the [[Imperium]]; the number of individual [[Guardsmen]] alone can vary enormously between regiments, with some only a few hundred strong at founding-strength, whilst others possess tens of thousands of fighting troops.{{Fn|1}}
The formal term for a collection of Regiments drawn from a single world (e.g. the [[Cadian Shock Troopers]]) is '''Militarum Regimentum''' (pl. '''Militarum Regimentos'''), sometimes spelled '''Militarum Regimento''', while a specific Regiment from that force (e.g. the [[Cadian 8th]]) is referred to as a single '''Regiment'''. However, in practice, even amongst the agents of the [[Departmento Munitorum]], the two terms are used interchangeably.{{Fn|20}}
