The Battle Groups

In addition to the Chapters Companies, it is quite normal for said Companies to be combined in a joined task-force group; that carries out a mission in a designated area.
Normally, the Chapter operates with three such joined task-force groups, called;
Battle Groups , or Contigents:

Currently the Chapter is operating divided into four Battle groups.

These Battle Groups are put together from different parts of the Chapter to form an effective Army capable of prolonged warfare in locations split away from the Chapter as a whole.
In fact the Chapter mostly operates quite fragmented and seldom works as a full Chapter, instead launching their Campaigns from these Battle Groups.

The Battle-Groups are as follows:

Battle Group 01 - Home Guard
Motto: Fidelis et paratus - Faithful and ready

The Chapters Home Guard, training and Support Companies.
This Contingent is located in the Chapters home system; Icar V, and usually operates out of their home planet and planet-bound Monestary.

The Contingent consists of: 1st, 9th, 10th Comapny, and the Adepts Army.
Home Guard is also supported by PDF, the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy.

Battle Group 04 - Medusa V Task Force
Motto: There is still Hope!
"Medusa V, Our Bolters Pray for You!"

NOTE THAT THIS TASK FORCE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED!
This task Force was put together to support the Crusade sent to help Medusa V.
The Task Force is on a vital mission to secure and stabilize a major Warp anomaly called "Van Groethe's Rapidity", or "Hell's Slingshot" for short.
If they fail, the Chapter's home system may be drowned out by a local Warp Storm being feed of "Hell's Slingshot", condeming billions of sould to the Emphyrean and loosing the Chapter it's Home System as well as many other vital resources.
Due to this, the Battle Group is composed of many vital Companes: 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th Company fractions with full support.
The Medusa V Battle Group is lead by the Legendary Tactical Master Daniel D'Angelo.

 

Battle Group N/A - Corr Task Force
Motto: Nostra fero excessum, ad Nostra fero vitae - We bring death and we bring life
NOTE THAT THIS TASK FORCE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED!

This Battle group was formed after the Chapter recieved an emergency communiqué requesting help against a vastly superior Necron Force on the Planet Corr located within the Jarred's Belt system in Segmentum Tempestus, but since then they have also uncovered treachory among Corrs PDF. - The Companies now fight both the Necrons and the Traitors.
The Contingent consists of: 5th and 7th Company, as well as being backed up by the Company fleets. - In addition to this they are backed up by the Imperial Guard, the Inquisition, the Machine Cult Skitaari and local PDF forces.
