Strategic Organisation

战略结构

According to the measure of the Officio Militaris of Terra, the Solar Auxilia Cohorts are the definitive example of a heavy void infantry formation of the Excertus Imperialis. As such they are fully trained and equipped to take on void war zones, hazardous planetary environments and operate both as 'interface' troops (meaning transitioning from void to ground operations in combat conditions) and fight heavily contested boarding actions. Early Solar Auxilia forces were ranged in the standard fashion of a Principia Belicosa- teneted regimental structure, comprising a nominal 5,000 soldiers-at-arms under the formal command of a Legate-Colonel and a dedicated staff and discipline cadre of around 300 officers and specialists. However, as the Great Crusade entered its expansion phase and the role of the Solar Auxilia to the wider war effort became more pronounced, and the demand for Solar Auxilia pattern units increased, the Officio Militaris High Command reconfigured the Solar Auxilia into larger, highly autonomous cohort formations. These 'Solar Cohorts' were intended to be highly compartmental and owed something both to the structures employed by some of the elite forces of the Panpacilic Empire during the wars of Unification as well as elements also used to organise the nascent Space Marine Legions. A Solar Cohort at muster would form a nominal fighting force of 120,000 individuals, with several thousand additional support staff of various types on permanent attachment to the unit, under the command of a Marshal Solar. This would be broken down into a number of sub-cohorts, each with a nominal fighting strength of 1200 under a Legate-Commander, Commander or Sub-Commander depending on seniority and the sub-cohorts particular type.

根据泰拉军务庭的标准，太阳辅助军兵团是帝国辅助军大规模虚空步兵编队的最佳范例，他们完全按照虚空战区和危险有害星球环境的要求进行训练和装备，他们既能进行“接地”作战（意思是在战争中从虚空中被运往地面战场），也能执行高对抗性的跳帮行动。早期的太阳辅助军部队根据基础军典规定的团级部队结构的标准形式进行调整，包含由使节上校指挥的名义上的5000名武装兵和大约300名军官和特殊单位组成的专业军官团与风纪核心。不过，随着大远征进入拓张阶段，太阳辅助军在大规模战争中的作用变得更为明显，帝国对于太阳辅助军型部队的需求也增加了，军务庭高级指挥部将太阳辅助军重整为更大更自主的兵团编队。这些“太阳兵团”旨在变得高度区分，而且同时拥有着统一战争时期某些帝国民兵精锐部队使用的机构，以及某些用于组织新生的星际战士军团的要素。总体上，一个太阳兵团名义上包含120,000人的战斗部队，以及数千名永久附属于作战单位的各种种类的额外支援团，指挥他们的是一位太阳军元帅。兵团会被划分为数个次队，每支次队名义上都包含1200名战斗兵力，由指挥使、指挥官或次队长指挥 这取决于他们的资历和次队的具体类型。

The fundamental building block of the Solar Cohort at the tactical level is the Tercio, a formation made up of three 'sections' of Auxilia, whose nature was defined by their weaponry and battlefield role. Tercios collectively could be assembled and deployed in a variety of ways and numbers to meet a particular strategic need. By far the most common Tercio formation is the Infantry Tercio, made up of three lasrifle sections; each comprising twenty void armoured, lasrifle-equipped infantrymen, commanded by a junior officer. Alongside these fight elite 'Veletaris’ Tercios, each made up of three squads of ten veteran troopers equipped with augmented short range weapons such as volkite chargers or flamer units, and Fire Support Tercios, commanding three batteries each of three crew-served infantry support weapons platforms, of which the tracked rapier type is the most common.

太阳兵团在战术层面上的基础构筑单元是步兵团，一个步兵团由三个辅助军“分组”构成，其性质取决于他们的武器和战场角色。步兵团能够以各种方式和数量被共同地聚集和部署以满足特定的战略需要。目前最为常见的步兵团是枪兵团，由三个光枪组构成；每个组都包含二十名装备了虚空甲和激光步枪的步兵，由一名下级指挥官率领。战斗精英步兵团“维勒塔里风暴队”由三个人数都为十人的老兵小队组成，他们装备了强化过的短射程武器，比如爆燃步枪或火焰喷射器。火力支援步兵团指挥三个火力支援炮阵，每个炮阵都有三台由三名士兵操作的步兵支援武器平台，其中最常见的是轻剑武器平台。

Each Tercio is itself a self contained unit, and every Auxilia within the Tercios trained not simply as a front line solider, but also to be skilled in void craft, fundamental combat engineering, hostile environment survival and in the basic planetary exploration protocols. This particular combination of capabilities has marked the Solar Auxilia out as an elite among the human soldiery of the Imperium since the early days of the Great Crusade and has always been a source of great pride within their ranks.

每个步兵团都是一个自给自足的单位，步兵团中的每名辅助军不仅被训练成为了一名前线士兵，而且要熟练操作虚空舰艇、基础战斗工程学、恶劣环境生存和基本的行星探索程序。自从大远征的早期开始，这些综合的能力就将太阳军标榜为帝国凡人部队中的精锐，而他们也一直以这些能力为傲。

Military Doctrine

军事信条

The tactical doctrine of the Solar Auxilia has grown up organically over the operations during the Great Crusade, and is the direct result both of the unusual environments in which they commonly operate and in part the particular qualities of their arms and equipment. Each member of the Solar Auxilia must reach an expected height of skill and aptitude to bear void armour. Co-ordination and discipline is to them of paramount importance; infractions of discipline and rule on a void ship can lead to swift disaster for all, and in void warfare this is doubly true. Those who fail to meet these standards in training will be dismissed to serve as naval ratings or in a less selective Auxilia formation, those who fail them on active service are harshly punished, and those who fail them in battle face summary execution by their officers.

太阳军的战术信条是在大远征时期的行动中有机地发展出来的，这是他们的非常规作战环境和他们武器装备特殊质量所共同造成的直接后果，每名太阳军士兵的技艺和资质都必须达到能够装备虚空甲的预期高度。对他们而言合作与纪律是最为重要的，违反军纪和虚空舰船上的规则会导致所有人面临迅速的灾难，而在虚空战中这更为真实。在训练中不能达到这些标准的士兵会被下放到海军士兵和选拔标志不那么严格的辅助军部队，而那些在日常服役中失职的太阳军士兵会被严厉惩罚，战斗中失职的则会被军官马上处决。

The coherence and discipline of the Solar Auxilia is key to their principal tactics; close order formations both in open field warfare and in the confines of a Zone Mortalis, concentration of firepower and stubborn defence. Strategies of aggressive defence are common both at the small unit and field level. This can be typified by aggressively seizing superior defensive ground (or manufacturing it with prefabricated defence lines, etc) and inviting enemy attack on preferred terms, feigned retreat in order to drag opponents into pre-prepared fire zones and slow rolling' advances under cover of close armoured and air support, and protected by mechanised transportation. Also common are asymmetric 'lightning' assaults which commit massed forces against a divided portion of an enemy line in order to achieve localised victory while minimising loss. These strategies are enabled by the Solar Auxilia Cohorts' discipline and the sophistication of their armaments, and born primarily from the Solar Auxilia Cohorts' use as long range pathfinder units for Explorator and Expeditionary forces, as well as rapidresponse forces; in such roles the Solar Auxilia can often expect to fight alone and outnumbered, and face unknown terrain as well as potentially unknown enemies. The famed discipline and ability to hold the line of the Solar Auxilia in such circumstances can be seen not simply as a matter of martial ability, but as a simple survival trait; on an alien world or within the hull of an enemy warship, breaking and fleeing is pointless where there is no safe haven to flee to, and doing so dooms one's self as surely as it does one's comrades.

太阳军基础战术的关键是纪律性和一致性：他们在公开战场与战场有限的致命战区都保持近距离编队，注重火力与顽强防御。无论是在小单位中还是战场上，进攻性防御战略都是常见的。这种战略体现在：积极占领高级防御阵地（或者用预制的防御线在制造阵地），诱使敌人进攻，佯装撤退以将敌人拖入预先准备好的交火区，并在密集装甲部队和空中火力的掩护与机械化运输载具的保护下缓慢前进。不对称的“闪电”进攻也是常见的：派遣大规模部队进攻敌人阵线上某个被分割的部分，以最小的损失达成局部胜利。这些战略要得益于太阳军的纪律和先进的军备，主要是由于太阳军要被用作探索舰队的远程寻路者单位和快速反应部队——在这些任务中，太阳军被要求独立作战且以寡敌众，他们既要面对潜在的未知敌人，也要面对未知的境况。太阳军那著名的纪律和坚守阵线的能力在这种环境中不仅能视为军事能力，也是一种简单的生存特质；当身处外星世界或者一艘敌舰船体内时，他们没有可供躲避的安全港，崩溃和逃亡也毫无意义，倘若有人这样做的话，他和他的战友们注定会遭受毁灭。
