Contingent
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
A Contingent (Tau: Tio'Ve) is a grouping of Tau Cadres, typically between three to six, roughly equivalent to an Imperial Guard Regiment. Unlike a regiment a Contingent is a temporary formation, although over the course of an extended campaigns some Contingents will become more proficient working together. The most senior Cadre Commander will have command of the Contingent, with their personal Cadre essentially becoming the headquarters unit.[1] Multiple Contingents can form a Commune.[2]
