The Imperial Guard on the Field of Battle
[[Image:ImperialGuardCadians.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Imperial Guard - Cadian Shock Troops]]
The Imperial Guard's countless regiments include all manner of infantry, cavalry - mechanised and mounted alike - artillery, and war engines. Each particular regiment is normally uniform in organisation inside itself, and often seem to specialise in one particular form of war. For instance, light infantry regiments can barely demonstrate any motorised transport and certainly possess no weapons that are not man-portable. In contrast, an artillery regiment contains little else. This ensures that the Imperial Guard are at their strongest when multiple regiments are massed together, and is itself another deliberate stricture structure to ensure that large-scale rebellion by a military commander is difficult to organise.{{Fn|1}}
The armoury of the Imperial Guard is vast and covers many aspects of the equipment necessary for the survival of a fighting force in many different environments. It ranges from portable [[Vox-caster]]s, communications units, to medals denoting promotion and excellence in battle.{{Fn|3}}
