→Recruitment & Training: removing claims of cloning technology
To ensure that only the toughest and best make it into the regiment, training is brutal and quickly weeds out the weak and unworthy. For this reason the regiment is able to maintain its famous standard of discipline and selflessness. Gasmasks are conventionally viewed as a second skin, as soldiers are trained to permanently operate with them if required. Fear of failure, and the ceaseless devotion to duty, honour and the Emperor are instilled in new recruits to make certain that they will stand their ground in combat under any situation. Mental conditioning is the key part of their training so soldiers are prepared for the horrors on the battlefield and beyond.
It should be noted that Krieg raises an unusually large number of regiments for a devastated planet. This is attributed to the use of cloning technologythe "[[Vitae Womb]]" birthing technique, which Krieg has been granted special dispensation to use as the result of their famous steel, determination and unswerving loyalty to the Emperor. Use of this technology technique is largely unknown and generally prohibited throughout the Imperium seen as dangerous and abhorrent by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Adeptus Mechanicus Biologis]], the custodians of the Imperium's technological lore. This may explain why Death Korp troops are rarely seen without their characteristic gas masks.<sup>9</sup>
