Diagram: Standard Missions Force Organisation Chart. A tree diagram headed by an HQ box connected to an Elites box, which in turn connects to four category groups: two Troops groups, a Fast Attack group and a Heavy Support group. Each group shows a stack of boxes representing how many choices of that type may be taken.
| Category | Compulsory | Optional (in addition) |
|---|---|---|
| HQ | 1 | 1 more |
| Troops | 2 | 4 more |
| Elites | – | 3 |
| Fast Attack | – | 3 |
| Heavy Support | – | 3 |
The force organisation here shows that for this mission you must take at least 1 choice from the HQ section of your army list and 2 choices from the Troops section. On top of this you can take up to 1 more HQ choice, 4 more Troops, 3 Fast Attack, 3 Heavy Support and 3 Elites.
For the most part, one box on the organisation chart is the equivalent of one unit or vehicle, but sometimes the army list will allow you to buy more than one unit for each choice. It may be that 1 Fast Attack option actually allows you to buy a squadron of 1 to 3 Attack Bikes, or in the case of the Imperial Guard, 1 choice allows you to buy a platoon consisting of more than one unit, but this still counts as one Troops choice from your army organisation.
