戰(zhàn)略結(jié)構(gòu)

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.

根據(jù)泰拉軍務(wù)庭的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，太陽輔助軍兵團(tuán)是帝國輔助軍大規(guī)模虛空步兵編隊(duì)的最佳范例，他們完全按照虛空戰(zhàn)區(qū)和危險(xiǎn)有害星球環(huán)境的要求進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練和裝備，他們既能進(jìn)行“接地”作戰(zhàn)（意思是在戰(zhàn)爭中從虛空中被運(yùn)往地面戰(zhàn)場），也能執(zhí)行高對(duì)抗性的跳幫行動(dòng)。早期的太陽輔助軍部隊(duì)根據(jù)基礎(chǔ)軍典規(guī)定的團(tuán)級(jí)部隊(duì)結(jié)構(gòu)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)形式進(jìn)行調(diào)整，包含由使節(jié)上校指揮的名義上的5000名武裝兵和大約300名軍官和特殊單位組成的專業(yè)軍官團(tuán)與風(fēng)紀(jì)核心。不過，隨著大遠(yuǎn)征進(jìn)入拓張階段，太陽輔助軍在大規(guī)模戰(zhàn)爭中的作用變得更為明顯，帝國對(duì)于太陽輔助軍型部隊(duì)的需求也增加了，軍務(wù)庭高級(jí)指揮部將太陽輔助軍重整為更大更自主的兵團(tuán)編隊(duì)。這些“太陽兵團(tuán)”旨在變得高度區(qū)分，而且同時(shí)擁有著統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期某些帝國民兵精銳部隊(duì)使用的機(jī)構(gòu)，以及某些用于組織新生的星際戰(zhàn)士軍團(tuán)的要素?？傮w上，一個(gè)太陽兵團(tuán)名義上包含120,000人的戰(zhàn)斗部隊(duì)，以及數(shù)千名永久附屬于作戰(zhàn)單位的各種種類的額外支援團(tuán)，指揮他們的是一位太陽軍元帥。兵團(tuán)會(huì)被劃分為數(shù)個(gè)次隊(duì)，每支次隊(duì)名義上都包含1200名戰(zhàn)斗兵力，由指揮使、指揮官或次隊(duì)長指揮 這取決于他們的資歷和次隊(duì)的具體類型。

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.

太陽兵團(tuán)在戰(zhàn)術(shù)層面上的基礎(chǔ)構(gòu)筑單元是步兵團(tuán)，一個(gè)步兵團(tuán)由三個(gè)輔助軍“分組”構(gòu)成，其性質(zhì)取決于他們的武器和戰(zhàn)場角色。步兵團(tuán)能夠以各種方式和數(shù)量被共同地聚集和部署以滿足特定的戰(zhàn)略需要。目前最為常見的步兵團(tuán)是槍兵團(tuán)，由三個(gè)光槍組構(gòu)成；每個(gè)組都包含二十名裝備了虛空甲和激光步槍的步兵，由一名下級(jí)指揮官率領(lǐng)。戰(zhàn)斗精英步兵團(tuán)“維勒塔里風(fēng)暴隊(duì)”由三個(gè)人數(shù)都為十人的老兵小隊(duì)組成，他們裝備了強(qiáng)化過的短射程武器，比如爆燃步槍或火焰噴射器?；鹆χг奖鴪F(tuán)指揮三個(gè)火力支援炮陣，每個(gè)炮陣都有三臺(tái)由三名士兵操作的步兵支援武器平臺(tái)，其中最常見的是輕劍武器平臺(tái)。

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.

每個(gè)步兵團(tuán)都是一個(gè)自給自足的單位，步兵團(tuán)中的每名輔助軍不僅被訓(xùn)練成為了一名前線士兵，而且要熟練操作虛空艦艇、基礎(chǔ)戰(zhàn)斗工程學(xué)、惡劣環(huán)境生存和基本的行星探索程序。自從大遠(yuǎn)征的早期開始，這些綜合的能力就將太陽軍標(biāo)榜為帝國凡人部隊(duì)中的精銳，而他們也一直以這些能力為傲。

Military Doctrine

軍事信條

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.

太陽軍的戰(zhàn)術(shù)信條是在大遠(yuǎn)征時(shí)期的行動(dòng)中有機(jī)地發(fā)展出來的，這是他們的非常規(guī)作戰(zhàn)環(huán)境和他們武器裝備特殊質(zhì)量所共同造成的直接后果，每名太陽軍士兵的技藝和資質(zhì)都必須達(dá)到能夠裝備虛空甲的預(yù)期高度。對(duì)他們而言合作與紀(jì)律是最為重要的，違反軍紀(jì)和虛空艦船上的規(guī)則會(huì)導(dǎo)致所有人面臨迅速的災(zāi)難，而在虛空戰(zhàn)中這更為真實(shí)。在訓(xùn)練中不能達(dá)到這些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的士兵會(huì)被下放到海軍士兵和選拔標(biāo)志不那么嚴(yán)格的輔助軍部隊(duì)，而那些在日常服役中失職的太陽軍士兵會(huì)被嚴(yán)厲懲罰，戰(zhàn)斗中失職的則會(huì)被軍官馬上處決。

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.

太陽軍基礎(chǔ)戰(zhàn)術(shù)的關(guān)鍵是紀(jì)律性和一致性：他們?cè)诠_戰(zhàn)場與戰(zhàn)場有限的致命戰(zhàn)區(qū)都保持近距離編隊(duì)，注重火力與頑強(qiáng)防御。無論是在小單位中還是戰(zhàn)場上，進(jìn)攻性防御戰(zhàn)略都是常見的。這種戰(zhàn)略體現(xiàn)在：積極占領(lǐng)高級(jí)防御陣地（或者用預(yù)制的防御線在制造陣地），誘使敵人進(jìn)攻，佯裝撤退以將敵人拖入預(yù)先準(zhǔn)備好的交火區(qū)，并在密集裝甲部隊(duì)和空中火力的掩護(hù)與機(jī)械化運(yùn)輸載具的保護(hù)下緩慢前進(jìn)。不對(duì)稱的“閃電”進(jìn)攻也是常見的：派遣大規(guī)模部隊(duì)進(jìn)攻敵人陣線上某個(gè)被分割的部分，以最小的損失達(dá)成局部勝利。這些戰(zhàn)略要得益于太陽軍的紀(jì)律和先進(jìn)的軍備，主要是由于太陽軍要被用作探索艦隊(duì)的遠(yuǎn)程尋路者單位和快速反應(yīng)部隊(duì)——在這些任務(wù)中，太陽軍被要求獨(dú)立作戰(zhàn)且以寡敵眾，他們既要面對(duì)潛在的未知敵人，也要面對(duì)未知的境況。太陽軍那著名的紀(jì)律和堅(jiān)守陣線的能力在這種環(huán)境中不僅能視為軍事能力，也是一種簡單的生存特質(zhì)；當(dāng)身處外星世界或者一艘敵艦船體內(nèi)時(shí)，他們沒有可供躲避的安全港，崩潰和逃亡也毫無意義，倘若有人這樣做的話，他和他的戰(zhàn)友們注定會(huì)遭受毀滅。
