Stormtrooper Corps

Headquarters

Stormtrooper Command was the head of the Stormtrooper Corps, composed of the highest ranking commanders. If any officers were incompetent, they were forced to serve in the Corps itself, or more commonly, they were simply executed for their incompetence.


Tactical organization

The legion was the highest level in the Stormtroopers command structure, stormtrooper units did not include support personnel.

  • Legion—9,813 units: 4 regiments (9,812 units: 8,192 troopers and 1,620 officers) led by a High Colonel. Equivalent to an Imperial Army battlegroup. Depending on the specific size of the squads and legions composing it, a legion can even reach as high as 14,826 units, composed of 12800 stormtroopers and 2025 officers.
  • Regiment—2,453 units: 4 battalions (2,452 units: 2,048 troopers and 404 officers) led by a Lieutenant Colonel. A Stormtrooper regiment is considered sufficient enough to seize a Class A planetary starport. Depending on the size of the scouts and platoons, it may reach as high as 3,701 units, composed of 3,200 troopers and 505 officers.
  • Battalion—613 units: 4 companies (612 units: 512 troopers and 100 officers) led by a major. A Battalion is very likely to incorporate many types of specialized stormtrooper units, including scout troopers and incinerator stormtroopers. Depending on the amount of squad and platoon manpower, the units may reach as high as 926 units; specifically 800 troopers and 125 officers. In some cases they included staff officers, which increase manpower to 820 men, similar to that of battalions within the standard Imperial Army.
  • Company—153 units: 4 platoons: 128 troopers, 16 sergeants, 16 corporals, 4 lieutenants, and 4 sergeant-majors, led by a captain.
  • Platoon—38 units: 4 squads: 32 troopers, 4 sergeants, and 4 corporals, led by 1 lieutenant and 1 sergeant major.
  • Squad—9 units: 8 troopers, including a corporal, led by a sergeant. It was the smallest stormtrooper unit typically deployed into a threat situation; it could also include up to 10 troopers.
