'''Tactical Support Squads''' were a type of [[Space Marine Legion]] squad used during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]] era. These mobile fire-support units replaced their standard [[Bolter]]s with more specialized weapons such as [[Rotor Cannon]]s, [[Volkite Caliver]]s, [[Plasma Gun]]s, [[Flamer]]s, and [[Melta gun]]s. Tactical Support Squads operate in close order with their respective Legion's other troops, their supporting firepower enabling a Space Marine force to act with even more versatility and engage a wider range of targets on its own terms.{{Fn|1}}
