Some Tallarn Rough Rider squadrons ride large alien mounts, called [[Mukaali]]. These desert-dwelling herbivores are originally indigenous to the vast equatorial deserts of Goru-Prime. Many Mukaali have been transported to other desert worlds, including Tallarn itself, because they are well adapted to arid environments.{{Cite This}} As well as infantry, artillery and armoured companies, it is not uncommon for Tallarn regiments to include one or more patrol companies (sometimes referred to as recon or long range companies). Tallarn Armored units emphasize the three doctrines of their homeworld: stealth, swiftness, and the killing blow.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|11}}
The Tallarn use the title Duf'adar as opposed to "Sergeant" as the origin of the word sergeant means servant and they claim to be no man's servant{{Fn|6b}}.
==Appearance and uniform==
Owing to the harsh climate and the constant raging sandstorms of their homeworld, the Tallarn have a distinctive desert combat garb consisting of light, loose cottons, a wraparound head-scarf (known as a kefiya{{Fn|6a}})and canvas boots. They make use of curved knives.{{Cite This}}
