Changes

In the case of [[Cadian]] regiments, Whiteshields are instead members of their Cadia's Youth Armies.{{Fn|2}} They join the Youth Armies at the age of sixteen, however even prior to this all Cadians by that age are trained from childhood in the usage of weapons, hand to hand training, vehicle and chemical warfare drills.{{Fn|3}} They It is stated that are trained for military service "as soon as they can walk."{{fn|11}} Once part of the Whiteshields, they spend much of their time training in a [[Castellum]] in the wilderness, drilling under the supervision of [[Cadian Shock Troopers]] and fighting mock battles with other youth armies. This prepares them adequately to eventually join the Shock Troops.{{Fn|5b}}{{Fn|6}} By the time they are prepared to join, they are eager and rearing for their first battle. Cadian High Command does not carelessly fling these young troops into battle, nor are they offered any special consideration. Instead they fight alongside their older and more experienced comrades. It is estimated that up to half of these inductees survive to claim the rank of guardsman.{{Fn|3}} As so called "born soldiers", Cadian Whiteshields are exceptionally accurate shots compared to typical Imperial conscripts. They shrug off minor injuries and refuse to yield under storms of enemy fire, and stand strong even in the face of dreaded [[lascannon]] fire. They fight with even greater ferocity when in sight of the inspiring relics of the regiment, such as [[Bastonne's Sword]].{{fn|11}}
