'''Crusader Squads''' are the backbone of any [[Black Templars]] formation with a [[Fighting Company]] and consist of varying levels of [[Initiate]]s, and [[Neophyte]]s. The majority of the [[Chapter]]'s [[Battle-Brother]]s are organized into these squads. Many are led by [[Sword Brethren]] - veterans who deeds and example inspire Initiates to even greater acts of courage. The squads are primarily armed with the holy [[Bolter]], though given the Black Templars' preference for close combat, many choose to carry [[Chainsword]]s and other melee weapons.{{Fn|1}}
