{{cite}}
The '''Salamander Command Vehicle''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] vehicle based around the same chassis as the [[Salamander Scout Vehicle]], the [[Chimera]]. It is equipped with better command and communication equipment and are often used by Armoured Fist Company HQs in order to keep up with the formation while commanding an operation.
==History==
==In the 41st Millennium==
The Salamander Command is built with extra communications equipment built in and is used as a combined HQ/transport vehicle. It is often used to transport staff around the battlefield. Each vehicle has a dedicated comms officer trained to use the highly advanced communications equipment.
The combination of high speed, good protection and advanced comms-equipment means the Salamander often finds roles outside of HQ units. Often they are used as artillery spotters and [[Commissars]] have been known to ride in them. They can also be used to tow equipment if [[Trojans]] are unavailable.
