From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
→Organization
The Raptors follow their progenitors, the Raven Guard, in adhering to the broad organisational patterns and provisions laid down in the standard [[Codex Astartes]], but as a [[Chapter]], the Raptors see the Codex as a highly effective and proven set of strategic and operational guidelines rather than inviolable dogma to be obeyed without question. As a result, they maintain a high degree of flexibility in their deployments and structures.{{Fn|6}} Each of the companies operates on a largely independent basis, fighting across the breadth of Imperium. It is only in dire situations that multiple companies will fight together.{{Fn|8c}}
Just like their parent Chapter, the Raptors make extensive use of their 10th Company and disperse their [[Vanguard Space Marine|Vanguard marines]] and [[Scouts]] amongst their task forces. It is not uncommon for entire Raptors task forces to be composed of [[Infiltrator MarineSquad|Infiltrator]], [[Inceptor]], and [[Reiver]] squads.{{Fn|14}}
