==Recruitment & Training==
The first [[Founding]] from [[Hyrkan]] raised six infantry regiments for the Imperial Guard. 6,000 troopers being inducted, it is presumed that each regiment was only 1,000 Guardsmen strong. As a possible result of this, they seem to have been deployed together as a form of miniature 'super-regiment' wherever possible. This deployment style may have had something to do with the chief political officer provided for all six regiments at their Founding, [[Commissar-General]] [[Delane Oktar]], whose progressive command and discipline style was based around principles of unity, honour, and the value of the individual [[Guardsman]]. Oktar's martial philosophy was drilled into the Hyrkan officers and at least one [[Cadet-Commissar]] who came under his purview.
The commander of the Hyrkan Regiments approximately 20 years before the beginning of the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]] was [[General]] Caernavar.<sup>1-p.14</sup>
