During the [[Horus Heresy]], the Imperialis Militia fell into internal strife along loyalist and traitor lines, as was typical with nearly every other organization within the Imperium at the time.{{Fn|1}}
==Forces{{Fn|1a}}==
*'''[[Platoon Command Squad]]''' - Consisted of a Platoon Commander, [[Vox Operator]], [[Standard Bearer]], and 3 Bodyguards.
*'''Discipline Master''' - Similar in role to a modern [[Commissar]], they were recruited from hand-picked [[Veteran]]s.
*'''Grenadier Squad''' - Well-equipped and disciplined troops often acting as the household guards of the [[Imperial Commander]]
*'''Infantry Squad''' - The mainstay of the Militia, consisting of soldiers who had at least some degree of military training or experience.
*'''Inducted Levy Squad''' - Conscripts hastily gathered upon a general mobilization. They had little to no training.
*'''Fire Support Squad''' - Utilized an array of heavy weapons
*'''Reconnaissance Squad''' - Consisted of individuals who were capable scouts and trackers. They would mount ambushes and flanking attacks in addition to their standard reconnaissance roles.
*'''Medicae Detachment''' - [[Medic]]s
*[[Ogryn Brute]] Squad'''
*[[Enginseer]] Auxilia'''
==Equipment==
The Imperialis Militia used equipment very similar to the [[Imperial Guard]] of the 41st Millennium. Individual armaments were highly unstandardized and often locally provided, resulting in infantry going into battle with anything from [[Lasrifle]]s, [[Lascarbine]]s, and [[Bolter]]s to black powder muskets and crossbows. Armored vehicles included [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s, [[Gorgon Armoured Assault Transport]]s, [[Rapier]]s, [[Sentinel]]s, [[Malcador Heavy Tank]]s, [[Basilisk]]s, and [[Medusa Siege Tank]]s. They also operated Super-Heavy Tanks including [[Baneblade]]s and [[Stormhammer]]s. Air units often consisted of [[Thunderbolt]]s and [[Arvus Lighter]]s.{{Fn|1}} ==Known Imperialis Militia Regiments==*[[Calth Irregulars]]{{Fn|4}}*'''Erud Provincial Militia'''{{Fn|1b}}*'''199th Thorion Yeomanry''' - Turned Traitor{{Fn|1c}}
