Company Standard (Guard)

Astra Militarum Portal

A standard bearer with the Company Standard of the Cadian 8th.^[2]

The Company Standard is used by the Imperial Guard and is part of the main Command Platoon, carried by a designated Standard Bearer. Unlike the sacred Regimental Standard company banners are more mundane, though they still serve to indicate the presence of the company commander and inspire all nearby units to fight harder, unwilling to fail the banner of their company.^[1]
