ELITE COMMAND SQUADS by George Spiggott

Grenadier Command Squad

When Grenadiers are attached to other Imperial Guard companies they will sometimes bring with them their own command squads to lead them in battle and also to liaise with the company commander. Grenadier command squads are only committed to the front lines when Grenadiers are deployed in strength.

Regimental Doctrines: A Grenadier command squad may only be used in Imperial Guard armies that make use of the regimental doctrines system (see the Imperial Guard codex page #55). Grenadier command squads are restricted troops and take up one of your Doctrine points if you wish to include one in your Imperial Guard army. In addition you must also take the Grenadiers regimental doctrine before you can include a Grenadiers command squad in your army.

Organisation: Grenadier command squads are a Troops choice for an Imperial Guard army but do not count towards the minimum or maximum number of Troops units you may have in your army.
