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.

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

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.
