The Imperial Guard is the standing army of the Imperium of Man. It is a massive army with trillions of soldiers.

Equipment

The standard armament of an Imperial Guard infantryman is a lasgun -- a laser-based weapon with firepower rated in the megajoules -- and wears a flak jacket and helmet capable of handling simple bullets and shell fragments. The Imperial Guard makes heavy use of armored fighting vehicles (such as Leman Russ and Baneblade Tanks and the Chimera APC) and heavy artillery (Including Basilisk self Propelled Artillery and Bombard Heavy Mortars). Never the less, in an era of power armored soldiers, superhuman creatures, arcanely advanced technology and psionic and daemonic threats, the Imperial Guard often has to rely on sheer overwhelming numbers to win.

Tactics and Methods

To maintain order and disipline on the field the Imperial Guard makes use of specially trained officers known as Commisars to keep Order, these personnel have full authority to execute soldiers in the field.
