The first company is made up of the veterans of the army. These include [[Veteran Squad]]s or [[Terminator Squad]]s. Support for the first company is [[Land Raider]]s and [[Dreadnought]]s.
The second, third, fourth and fifth companies are known as Battle Companies and are split into six [[Tactical Squad]]s, two [[Assault Squad]]s and two [[Devistator Devastator Squad]]s. The Assault Squads can be deployed on [[Bike]]s or [[Land Speeder]]s and often use [[Rhino]] or [[Razorback]] transports. They may also include Dreadnoughts.
The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth companies are known as Reserve Companies. The sixth and seventh company is made up entirly of Tactical Squads, the eighth of Assault Squads and the ninth of Devistator Devastator Squads. They also make use of Rhinos or Razorback transports thought Dreadnoughts are usually only found in the ninth company. The sixth can also be deployed entirely on Bikes and the seventh on Land Speeders. The eighth can use either.
The tenth company, or Scout Company, consists entirely of [[Scouts]] and is often not one hundred strong as a steady supply of recruits is not possible. They are the most lightly armoured and usually used as a recon force. They are sometimes mounted on Bikes but do not use Rhino or Razorback transports.
