The Salamander Command is issued to [[Imperial Guard Company|company]] command units as a combined transport, liaison and communications vehicle; while often used for armoured formations other types of fighting units such as light infantry also make use of these vehicles. An exception is heavy tank companies, which are normally commanded from one of the [[super-heavy vehicle]]s, though they find use as support vehicles. While not meant to be a frontline fighting unit, the Salamander's useful qualities have found it performing other jobs besides command and control. Artillery units use these vehicles as mobile forward observation posts, while many [[Commissars]] have been known to requisition them as their own personal transport. In a pinch they can also be used as a general utility vehicle for towing supplies or weapons if there is a shortage of [[Trojan]]s.{{Fn|1}}
