征召兵，Conscript

Conscript platoons are the most basic infantry unit available to Imperial Guard Regiments, having very little training and using only the most basic equipment.

征召排是帝国卫队兵团最基础的步兵单位，这些人受到的训练很少并且只是用最基础的装备。

背景

Conscripts represent hastily conscripted men, raised from surrounding planets in dire situations. In times of great emergency, the Departmento Munitorum will demand local Governors raise vast quantities of troops for immediate action.   Such measures can see entire cities or continents all but emptied and its citizens sent off to fight.

征召兵代表了那些被匆忙征召入伍的人，他们在岌岌可危的情况下从周边星球被征召入伍。在非常危急的情况下，军务部会要求当地行星总督筹集大量部队立刻采取行动这些措施可能会导致一整座城市或整片大陆被掏空，所有的公民都会被派去作战。

Whiteshield cadets and otherwise ill-trained troops, often too young or old for normal conscription, are inducted into the Imperial Guard and rushed through basic training.   They form squads massed together as a single platoon.   The concentrated firepower of a large platoon tends to outweigh the relative lack of combat ability of the individual conscripts.

白盾学员和其他训练不良的部队对于正常征召兵而言太年轻或者太老，但都会被征召进帝国卫队并迅速完成基本训练，这些人组成小队，小队聚集成排，而一个大排的集中火力往往能抵消个别征召兵相对缺乏作战能力的影响。

They are considered the "ultimate meat shield". 

这些人通常被认为是“终极肉盾”。

战斗用法

A Conscript squad consists of a massive squad of anywhere from twenty to fifty conscripts, operating as one unit.   Due to their lack of training and combat experience, they are denied access to the arsenal of special weapons the Imperial Guard has to offer. Instead, the squad is issued the basic load out of flak armour and lasguns.

一个征召兵班组通常由20~50名征召兵组成作为一个单元行动。由于这些人缺乏训练与作战经验，因此他们被拒绝使用帝国卫队能提供的特殊武器。取而代之的是，征召兵小队的基本装备是防弹护甲与激光枪。

著名兵团

Conscripts are common throughout the Imperium due to their ease of raising and low cost.  Some regiments, such as the Cadian Shock Troops, Valhallan Ice Warriors and the Armageddon Steel Legions employ Conscripts.

因为自身的易于训练和低成本，征召兵在整个帝国中都很常见。部分兵团如卡迪安震击部队、瓦尔哈拉冰雪战士和阿米吉多顿钢铁军团会雇佣征召兵。

本次翻译到此结束。

聊个不相关的东西，红警2的“动员兵”与红警3的“征召兵”其英文原名其实都是“Conscript”，而且二者在背景设定上同样缺乏训练并只能使用基本的装备。

红警2的动员兵使用的是波波沙-41步枪和M1卡宾枪。（神甫曾经写过的心灵终结3现实原型考据一文里提到MO3的wiki设定动员兵用的是波波沙-41，沿袭了原版的设定）

红警3的征召兵使用的是ADK-45突击步枪（虚构型号，推测是茶叶蛋回到过去抹除老爱后所产生的平行世界版卡拉什尼科夫步枪）与燃烧瓶，而红警3的平台系统提供了更多的游戏细节来展现征召兵的缺乏训练，比如行走时单手持枪、像挥舞棍子一样挥舞步枪、低头看枪口甚至使用枪托敲碎核桃等。
