 The Role of the Imperial Army
The mandate of the Imperial Army is to eliminate military threats to the established Imperial political order on the planetary surface (or other inhabited complex). If the planet is not under Imperial control, the Imperial Army, working in conjunction with the Imperial Navy and similar internal organizations within the whole of the Galactic Empire is to engage and defeat any local military force capable of resistance in order to facilitate the transition of the planet to the Galactic Empire under the mandate of the Imperial Moff Council. When engaged in operations, the Imperial Army can expect support from the Imperial Navy during the initial drop phase. During this phase the Imperial Navy will provide suppressing fire against particularly hard or well-armed targets and will provide force reduction attacks to destroyer or incapacitate enemy targets capable of interfering with reorganization after the drop. The Army is also allowed to pre-plan for from-orbit fire on specific targets during the later stages if the operation. If the operation is important enough, Naval units may be dedicated to certain ground elements to provide fire support whenever they are called upon. When on garrison duty, the mission of the Imperial Army is essentially unchanged, except they are expected to provide firepower and back up to COMPNOR and Imperial Intelligence operatives when such actions have been cleared with the garrison commander, and through him, with the presiding military and political authority of the region. When aboard a vessel of the Imperial Navy, the primary duty of Army personnel is the continuation of tactical and combat training, and the maintenance of all Army equipment. The Army is also responsible for the defense of the vessel should enemy units attempt a boarding action. With the recent increases in galactic tension, Army units are now more active in maintaining day-to-day security on board Naval vessels. |
