===Heavy Weapons Squad===

Heavy weapons squads are given responsibility for their regiment's heaviest weapons and bolster the main battle line by providing close fire support. A heavy weapon squad is made up of three heavy weapons teams, each of which is composed of a gunner and loader, for six Guardsmen and three heavy weapons. These squads are further classified under one of three roles:{{Fn|1b}}

*'''Fire Support Squads''': Armed with [[Heavy Bolter]]s or [[Autocannon]]s, these squads can suppress enemy infantry and neutralize light vehicles.

*'''Mortar Support Squads''': Armed with [[Mortars]], these squads are primarily used for long-range suppression or harassing fire.

Their other equipment includes personal gear such as [[Flak armour]], a [[Close Combat Weapon]], [[Lasgun]] and [[Frag Grenade]]s.{{Fn|1e}}

===Special Weapons Squad===

Many regiments maintain six-man squads of specialists armed and trained in a variety of roles, categorized under the catch-all term of special weapons squads. Some are [[Imperial Guard Sniper|sniper]] squads, working in three two-man teams of sniper and spotter with the former armed with [[Sniper Rifle]]s for taking out enemy commanders. Others are combat engineer teams, meant to clear trenches and destroy enemy fortifications with [[Demolition Charge]]s, [[Flamer]]s, [[Plasma Gun]]s, [[Meltagun]]s and [[Grenade Launcher]]s. These squads will often be attached to other [[platoon]]s to provide them with their expertise.{{Fn|1b}}
