==PDF Commissars==
[[Image:Commissar Amatheon.jpg|thumb|right|220px|A Commissar]]
In theory, the Commissariat has oversight authority over all branches of the Imperial military (with the obvious exceptions of the [[Space Marines]], the [[Sisters of Battle]], and the soldiery of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]), which include [[Planetary Defence Forces]]. In practice, however, only a single Commissar is assigned to the PDF of an entire planet, or even several planets in a [[subsector]], and so plays little to no role in these forces' activities. As a result, many of these forces are ignorant that these commissars even exist. Commissars assigned to these thankless postings are usually advanced in age, or have been subject to disciplinary action{{Fn|14}}{{Fn|15}}.
