;Recruitment & Training
Most of the population of Cadia is under arms, and most aspire to join the ranks of the [[Imperial Guard]] or the Cadian Interior Guard, Cadia's [[PDF]]. Cadia's militarization is such that most children learn military doctrine before they can walk, inspiring maxims such as: "any Cadian who can't field-strip his own lasgun by the age of 10 was born on the wrong planet" and "If the ammo ain't live, this ain't no Cadian practice".
Cadian youth begin training in the Youth Armies, and eventually are inducted into the [[Whiteshield]]s, where they fight alongside Cadian regiments and gain vital experience through actual combat. The best and most promising of the Youth Army cadets are selected for special training, eventually joining the elite [[Storm Trooper#Kasrkin|Kasrkin]].
