Techno Order of Battle: Support Abteilungs

by Alex Benson

In addition to the weapons and troops with the regiment, the regimental commanders can call upon additional forces from units referred to as abteilungs. These formations are large and focus upon an intended role that compliments the capabilities of the Standard Regiment. Often at times, abteilungs are called upon to offer added firepower to a regiment or to act as "fire brigades" to enemy breakthroughs. Abteilungs are usually shared by several regiments, based in a region to support a common front or theatre of operations.
