Company (Space Marine)

Each standard ("Codex") Space Marine chapter has 10 companies: 1 Veteran, 4 Battle, 4 Reserve, and 1 Scout. Each company has ~100 marines plus support staff (except the Scout company which has no pre-determined number of men or squads). Veteran companies 100 veteran marines who can go to battle in either Tactical or Terminator armor. Thus, Veteran companies can have up to 20 5-man Terminator squads, 10 10-man Veteran squads, or some combination of both. Battle companies have 6 10-man Tactical squads, 2 10-man Assault squads, and 2 10-man Devastator squads. Reserve companies have 10 10-man squads, all of the same type. The first 2 Reserve companies contain 10 10-man Tactical squads. The third Reserve company has 10 10-man Assault squads. The fourth Reserve company has 10 10-man Devastator squads. Scout companies have variable numbers of squads and squad sizes. Each company usually includes officers (captains, chaplains, apothecaries, and standard bearers), as well as Dreadnaughts, Rhinos, Bikes, Land Speeders, and Land Raiders. Other officers (Librarians, Techpriests, etc.) and vehicles (Predators, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, etc.) are held by the HQ, which is not an independent fighting unit. When its members and vehicles fight, they do so alongside the companies.
