==Battlefield Role==
The Deployed in [[Close Support Squad]]s{{Fn|13}}, the advantages of the Land Speeder is that it can be tasked to fulfil a variety of missions. These can range from light reconnaissance to tank-hunting and search-and-destroy operations. Land Speeders are typically fielded in squadrons of one to three vehicles, and normally piloted by [[Assault Marines]], with each [[Battle Company]] maintaining its own stockpile. {{Fn|2}} However, the majority are held by the Chapter's [[Reserve Companies]], with the 7th Company trained and equipped to deploy en masse on Land Speeders, acting as a fast-response strike group which can be used to respond to enemy penetrations or exploit a hole in their battle lines.{{Fn|2}} On average the typical Chapter will have between fifty to seventy Land Speeders of various types, though this varies depending upon the Chapter's wealth or tactical doctrine. For example, the [[Dark Angels]] and [[White Scars]], along with their successor Chapters, each field several hundred Land Speeders.{{Fn|3}}
