#redirect {{SMStub}}The '''Command Squad''' is there to join a member of the HQ as its bodyguard, but also functions as a rallying point with several specialist units. A Command Squad is made up of a [[Sergeant]] and four to nine [[Tactical Marine#]] armed with [[Bolters]] or [[Bolt Pistols]] and [[Close Combat Weapon]]s, [[Frag Grenades]], [[Krak Grenades]]. Two of the members can be armed with following weapons, [[Heavy Bolter]], [[Missile Launcher]], [[Multi-melta]], [[Plasma Cannon]], [[Lascannon]], [[Flamer]], [[Meltagun]] or [[Plasma Gun]]. Most of the time three of the Space Marines act as: *[[Apothecary]] - armed with a [[Narthecium]] and [[Reductor]]*[[Company Standard Bearer]] - carrying a [[Company Banner]]*[[Company Champion]] - [[Power Weapon]], [[Combat Shield]] and [[Bolt Pistol]] It is not uncommon for members of the squad to have [[Terminator Honours]] and as such have access to the [[Space Marine Armoury]]. The Company Standard Bearer for example can then be seen carrying the [[Chapter Banner]], a [[Sacred Standard]] or a [[Holy Relic]]. The squad can use a [[Rhino]] or [[Razorback]], if they number number allows this. ==Terminator Command Squad==''Main article [[Terminator Command Squad]]''<br>A different sort of Command Squad, where each marine wears [[Terminator Armour]], can accompany the commanding officer if he also wears Terminator armour. The Squad consists of a normal [[Terminator Squad]], the only difference being that there are three to nine marines in the squad instead of the normal four to nine Terminators in the squad. ==Sources==*[[Codex: Space Marines (4th Edition)]]{{SMInfantry}}
