Populus Auxilium

The Populus Auxilium are the standard human regiments raised from Innovo and her sister planets. Each one of them is highly trained, and equipped to the best of the ability of the planet. The employment of psykers in such a formation is discouraged, however it is inevitable that psykers join the ranks of the Auxilium, and those who do are rigorously trained in how to defend themselves against attacks of the mind. The use of their powers focuses heavily on defense physically as well, to heal wounds and shield themselves from gunfire rather than the offensive uses the Legion employs. Those with abilities that are selected for service within the Guard have their ability taken from them permanently.

Forces of the Auxilium
The Auxilium employs everything a ground army would need to win a war. From wings of fighter and bomber craft, to armored divisions and regiments of foot soldiers. Their numbers are not many, as both the people and Legion's ideologies require the lowest mortality rate possible. Training and equipment come to the fore due to such things, and of course all of this takes time to accomplish. Heavy motorization also does not help in the quick formation of regiments.

The training of these forces generally includes situations in which they are heavily outnumbered and outgunned to adapt for their small numbers relative to the forces of the Imperials. While conflict against such forces is normally avoided whenever possible scenarios do include the enemy using Imperial tactics.

While it is a dangerous job even in the relative security that the Legion provides those forces given to the Tithe have extra perks. Due to the all too often terminal nature of an assignment with the Guard the world's government takes good care of the service member's family while they are away. There are programs to help cope with the loss of a loved one, and a grant is given to the family in the event of a death.

Armored Brigades
The formations of armor fielded by the Auxilium are much the same as one might find within a standard Imperial regiment, save the soft targets are minimized with the use of armored cars and other forms of motorization for support elements. Small amounts of self propelled artillery are also attached to these brigades for close support light barrages.

Paratum
These soldiers form the elite of the Auxilium, serving as perhaps the equivalent to Kasrkin of the Imperial Guard. They are standard-issued power weapons, and their equipment is of a higher craftsmanship than even that of the PDFs, an order of magnitude over the Guard regiments.

Most of their operations include sabotage and assassinations behind enemy lines, a scalpel to be applied where either one or a series of precision strikes will render the enemy ineffective.
