The Imperial Guard is a vast fighting formation and for its operations to go smoothly a substantial command structure is needed. The officers who lead Platoon Command Squads are charged with ensuring their Platoon fulfils the Company Commander's orders and gets the job done. Platoon Commanders are accompanied by a hand-picked team who help him fulfil his duties. The Command Squad coordinates ambushes, prioritises targets, positions kill-zones and leads the charge to destroy the enemy.
