Fuji Regimental Command
|
The Current Regimental Command of the Fuji Five Permanent Regiments and the three Regiments that remain from the old Regimental System are lead by Field Marshal Himura Kenshin, Among his Command staff are number of generals and Commanders from several units of the Imperial Guard. Several are from other Regiments than the Fuji as it actually very rare for the Field Martial to actually be in action with Fuji Regiments. Both the 4th Regiment and the 22nd Regiment have there C/O in the Command Staff of Field Marshal Himura, but often that that general orders about the Regiments. About ever 20 to 25 years the Regiments gather to exchange hardware, get super reinforcements of men and supplies from Fuji, at such times major reviews of Policy are done and the Regimental Command actually means something. However mostly the Fuji Field Marshal spends a lot of time heading up major actions by the Imperial Guard often with Dozens of Regiments from as many worlds under his command.
Regiments
Because the Fuji System is a Space Marine system, they are not require to offer troops to the Imperial Guard. They do so because of long standing societal attachment to military service have continued to do so at a lightly scaled back rate. Currently the recruitment Six to ten thousand personnel per year, this largely goes to the Main five Regiments keeping them at acceptable Strength of at least Five full Battalions. Often do to the fact that the First Regiment is nearly always in Combat actions it is rare for that Regiment to be at Strength for any really length of time. The rest of the manpower is split among the remaining regiments that were formed under the old system. Only the 13th Regiment is an exception as it take members form other planets and tends to absorb remaining squads from dismantled forces. This gives them a large input of manpower from other areas of the Imperium. Regiments are largely Co-ed, Courting couples are suppose to keep decorum and Change of Command intact. The Common initial length of service is 14 years, with recurring periods of five years. Chevron are used to show tours of duty past the first 14 years. Originally Abhuman units were assigned from outside the Fuji but so many retired to the Fuji System that much of the Abhuman support can now from the Abhuman communities that have joined the main population of Fuji.

The First Fuji Regiment is often considered the Elite Regiment, Thousands of men in the Fuji System dream of being one of these great heroes. The Battle Honours of this Regiment are many, and because of this they are in the field of battle almost continually. There is little rest but much glory. Currently this Regiment is at three battalions strength, two below standard strength for a Fuji Regiment. This Regiment is largely Infantry with large numbers of Specialized Squads and veteran units. They also have three Units of Baneblade Tanks.
The Second Fuji Regiment is often called the Okami [Wolves] because of the Commander's family name. The been know to put Wolf icons on their Tanks and other Armour because of this. also the Regiment has served with the Space wolves a number of times over the history and a historical understand exists between the two forces. Ogami is an Old Daimyo Family from before the Arrival of the Emperor during the Crusade of Unity, and they have an almost Hereditary hold on the Command of this Regiment Make no mistake thought they earn it and the Entire Ogami Clan has some of the most tactical minds in their sector. The Current Chapter master of the Tenno no Samurai is an Ogami after all. Currently this Regiment is at Six Battalions strength.
The Third Fuji Regiment is Light Infantry Regiment, prone to Drop in use and the like, or often Guard duty functions, Policing actions and the like. As a result they tend to be a a lot harder personality wise and often considered soft by many other Imperial Guard regiments. They would not agree, their discipline is second to none, and they fear nothing. They also deal more often with Chaos cults and summoned Demons and as a result have less trouble with such foes, or at least the terror aspect. Currently this Regiment is at Five Battalions strength.
The Fourth Fuji Regiment is an Armour and Mechanized Infantry forces and the only other Regiment to have assigned Baneblade Tanks other than the First Regiment and the Thirteenth Regiment. further they have six units of Baneblade under their forces, if not their command as they are often lent to other actions. Currently this Regiment is at four Infantry Battalions and three Armour Battalions.
The Fifth Regiment is a Infantry Regiments like hundreds of others in the Imperial Guard, they often do Clean of up actions after major pushes, and have often dealt with Orks. They are experts on Xenos especially Greenskins and many members have "master" Ork Speak to help with Ambushes and start fights with other guard units. the Least Disciplined of the Fuji Regiments, their Colonel is still known for his brawling abilities and once Started a fight in the Officer's Mess on Armageddon VI because another office called his men Bloody lazy Louts. The Regiment has a strong feeling of Brotherhood and general has officers that love their men like sons and daughters. As a results promotions come fast in this regiment as the officers lead rather than direct. Currently this Regiment is at Five Battalions strength.
The Thirteenth Fuji Regiment is largely Infantry with a number of Abhuman Units, It is also the only Fuji Regiment to accept large numbers of reinforcement manpower from systems other than Fuji. As a result there are a huge number of odd names and cultural clashes that happen with in the regiment. the Fuji roots of this unit are sound but it often called the "mongrels" behind their backs by other Guard units. Doing this in Ear shot of a Fuji's unit is general bad for the speaker, doing it to an actual member of the 13th regiment is pretty much suicide. The Regiment has a fierce, almost savage reputation. Currently this Regiment is at Five Battalions strength. The Regiment has a Functioning Baneblade and Shadowsword Super Heavy Tank
The Twenty-Second Fuji Regiment is a Mix of Standard Infantry and Mechanized Infantry They are lead but Saitou Sakura, the highest ranked Woman to ever serve in the any Fuji Regiment, there talk that she might be the next Field Marshal should the position come open. Sakura is likely the strongest, hardest, most in control woman in the entire imperial guard. She can stand toe to toe with Space marine Chapter masters, and has been know to make Inquisitor lords feel intimated. When she was a Major she got into a fight with a Drunk Ogryn and killed him with her bare hands. She smokes cigars and is never seen with out her Chrome plated twin bolt Pistols. Currently this Regiment is at Five Battalions strength.
The Twenty-seventh Fuji Regiment is a Standard Infantry Guard Regiment. In every way the 27th, unit is just like dozens of other Guard units. the only thing of note is that Natsume Hiko is 2.5 Meters tall. Currently this Regiment is at Five Battalions strength.
Fuji Systems PDF force can be easily differentiate from the Fuji Regiments by their green and Black uniforms. Other than that their Ranks and other badges are the Same. The Force consists of ten Home regiments of Six Battalions. each of these Regiments goes on active duty for a year, providing the majority of the Defense Security needs of the system in that time. the Rest of the Regiments are in reserve status serving ever third weekend and two three week stints per year. In addition the PDF can Draw on six more Reserve regiments of the same size that have only two three week commitment under normal conditions in a year. even beyond that there are literality thousands of Guard and PDF members that retain rank and supplies in the many Clan based Militias/veteran groups. Daikana Ryo is the rather easy going command and effectively Imperial Governor of the Fuji system. also under his command. He is both and Equal and Subborant to the Field Marshal of the Fuji Regiments, In the Planet's government and Equal and under the Guard System subborant, rarely is this a problem however. While in theory the Training of the Imperial Guard is under the Regimental Command, most of the actual administration is done out of the PDF's General Office and Staff.
The Fuji Training Corp Consists of about 400 Officers and men looking after about 15000 recruits at any given time. They Report to the Regimental Command Staff, however in all practical matters they rely on the the PDF General for Direction. Given that the Training C/O is the younger Brother of the Current PDF General this isn't a problem but it has some times been so in the past. Training Corp has a number of facilities for Guard and PDF training around the Fuji system, enabling them to train in most environments that the Imperial Guard might find themselves in. the Training is good and the Discipline is strict but given the martial nature of the people of the Fuji System rarely are there many problems.
