==Equipment==
It is not uncommon for Space Marine Command Squads to be mounted on Space Marine Bikes if the commander they are guarding is mounted on one. The command squad may be outfitted with specialist gear such as [[melta bomb]]s or [[storm shield]]s, and may take a dedicated transport such as a [[Rhino]] or [[Razorback]].{{Fn|3a}}.

These specialists provide vital support as honour guards and aides – Company Champions defend their Chapter's honour with martial excellence, Ancients guard its inspirational banners, and Company Veterans lay down hails of fire from relic bolt weapons.{{Fn|11}}.

==Command Squads trough the Ages==
It was typical for [[Praetor]]s to fight alongside a squad of exceptionally disciplined and skilled warriors. This squad acts as both the commander's personal guard and the bearers of one of the [[Legion Standard]], serving as a focal point for rallying the Legion's troops on the battlefield. These selected Space Marines are equipped with the finest weaponry the Legion has to offer and epitomize the honor of the Legion in combat.{{Fn|12b}}
