→Organisation and Recruitment
It was during the post-Heresy reforms that the Imperial Army was split into two organisations: the [[Imperial Guard]] and the [[Imperial Navy]], with the army commanders forbidden from being able to command a navy force<sup>8</sup>.
==Organisation and Recruitmentof the Imperial Army==
===Recruitment===
The organisation of individual regiments varied immensely because of the massive lack of standardisation within the Imperial Army<sup>13</sup>, and this could cause issues including friendly fire, and it would not be until the introduction of the Departmento Munitorum that these issues were partially resolved<sup>14</sup>.
However, the largest ''permanent'' organisational unit during the Horus Heresy for the Imperial Army was the '''regiment''', and to take a typical example, regiments could be divided into three or more '''battalions''', with each battalion made up of two or more '''companies''', with additional support units attached at the battalion and regimental level<sup>15</sup>.
