Though stormtroopers are frequently attached to other military branches – most often to the Imperial Army while planetside, or the Imperial Navy while in space – stormtroopers are their own distinct branch of the Empire's military.
Formations
Legion
Commander: High Colonel • Composition: 4 regiments
The legion is the largest defined level of organization within the Stormtrooper Corps. It is the approximate equivalent of an Imperial Army battlegroup.
Regiment
Commander: Lieutenant Colonel • Composition: 4 battalions
According to Imperial tactical standards, a regiment is considered sufficient to seize a Class A planetary starport.
Battalion
Commander: Major • Composition: 4 companies
Company
'Commander: Captain • Composition: 4 platoons
Platoon
Commander: Lieutenant and Sergeant Major • Composition: 4 to 5 squads.
Like the squad, stormtrooper platoon is variable in size.
Squad
Commander: Sergeant • Composition: 8 or 10 stormtroopers, plus a sergeant
The smallest composition of stormtrooper formations. Squads are built by platoon leaders, with numbers based on what is necessary for the mission at hand. A squad is always composed of stormtroopers of the same specialization.
