Please excuse my spelling, grammer mistakes and all that. I tried... XD
Rhineland 130th Panzer Lehr Regiment
Mechanized Infantry
--------
Planet: Rhine III
Rhine III is a temperate world, consisting of 4 major oceans, and 2 large continents. The terrain on both planets consists of low lands, and
mountains, mostly in the north and south of each land mass. With an equilateral Desert wrapping around the bulk of the land masses.
It was named after a river in Old Middle Europe by its settlers who had come from that region.
The planet was discovered in M39 by an Imperial Transport that was taken of course while traveling the warp to a distant conflict.
The planet had lost high levels of its technology and had reverted back to its original settlers native tongue. Their level of technology was on
par with 1940s. And the planet was locked in a brutal war between the two continents each side battling for control of oil resources in the
desert to fuel their ever growing war machines.Its soldaten had mastered the art of the Blitzkrieg and Mechanized warfare across its wide flat
plains. Luckily for the Imperium their embarked gaurd regiment was able to pacify the planet and bring it back under Imperial rule, with very
little objection from the general populace who were fed up with the global war that had been raging for years.
It is a temperate world. There are few things of strategic importance on the planet, other then its vast plains which are used for farming and
its oil reserves.
The people people are very different depend on what region you visit, the equilateral deserts the people are more tan with darker hair, the north
and the south, the people tend to be more paler, and with a lighter cooler of hair. Most on the planet speak a form of Gothic, or their native
Germanic tongue.
They are very hard working people, most making a living as farmers, or miners. Trying to make a better life for themselves and their family.
There is a strong sense of family unity, and pride in one jobs, whether your a farmer or an officer in the Local PDF Garrison. Most people are
free to choose their fate, if they wish to go on to high education, they may, since that is one way to become an officer in the PDF, which
requires a mandatory conscription at the age of 18 for atleast 2 years. If they choose to go to higher education they must serve two years as an
officer in the PDF as soon as they are done with school.
Basic training is rough, it lasts 3-5 months depends on the job the conscript is given, infantry and other combat arms go through the much
rougher, and much longer training cycles, a clerk or a cook, are rushed through, since they aren't expected to fight in the PDF unless the planet
is in dire need of troopers.
Once basic is completed many continue on to more advanced schools. Specifically tailored to their jobs. Most troopers are fully trained within 7
months of their conscription. And when two years are up, they have the choice to get out, or stay in. If you opt out you remain in the reserves
and can be called to active duty when ever the planetary governor deems it is needed.
-------
Every 10 years the planet is required to give up some of its PDF forces to the Guard. The planet is only required to give 20000 men every 10
years or whenever the Imperium deems it necessary. At first the government searches for volunteers giving many the option to go off to far and
distant planets and fight for the better of humanity. If the number can not be meant, many are just picked at random from the reserves and the
current PDF. Rarely do men avoid the ask for men, they believe they owe the Imperium for bringing them out of a bloody war that had no end in
sight.
--------
The Rhineland 130th Specializes in the Blitzkrieg, and in shock and awe warfare. They prefer to strike with an armored spearhead to crush the
enemies defenses. With specialized tanks in separate squadrons supported by platoons in Chimera's and other Infantry Fighting Vehicals. Armored
Squads are separated into two roles, Infantry Support and Anti-Armor, Infantry support units consist of Demolishers, Exterminators, Punishers and
other Support tanks. Anti-armor squadrons consist of Normal Russes and Vanquishers. Artillery and close air support play a big part in attacks
made by the Rhineland 130. If the tanks can not crush it, then artillery will surely try, if the big guns in the rear can not, then thousand
pound bombs will crack it open so the push can continue.
The infantry ride into combat close behind the tank formations, waiting for the tanks to blow gaps in the enemies defensive line for them to
exploit. and when a breakthrough is achieved, the infantry dismount behind the enemies defenses and finish the attack from the rear. while the
tanks continue the push deeper and deeper into the enemies rear units, destroying what ever they come across and can not use for themselves.
When in the defense they tend to dig shallow trenches with a line of guns behind them, anti tank and heavy machine guns, with interlocking fields
of fire. They do believe in a tactical retreat and do not hold to the last man if given the opportunity. But do not write them off as cowards,
they only give up some ground to enter even better positions, each line of defenses being harder and harder to crack, until the enemy is
completely exhausted all its resources trying to make a break through. Armored vehicles will normally be dug into bunkers in one of the final
lines of defense, or held in reserve for a counterattack along with a small reserve force to exploit a breakthrough if one is made.
Their elites are the Sturmtruppen which are comprised of veterans of the unit, ones who have survived countless battles and proven their worth
and skill in a fight. Most are given the option to continue to fight with their platoon or make the move to a sturmtruppen squad. Most will only
get that option once so few deny it.
Most squads carry the Lasgun, as well as frag and krak grenades. Most squads are outfitted with a grenade launcher as well. Veterans tend to
carry flamers and grenade launchers. sturmtruppen carry hellguns. Heavy weapons teams tend to be outfitted with what ever is needed, but a single
platoon will normally have a mortar section, a CAAT Team consisting of Lascannons and Autocannons, and a Bolter section. Rarely do they use
rockets in heavy weapons units, Rockets are normally tasked out to desperate Chimera's and their assigned squads.
Sentinels also form a part of the gun line in the defense, most of them being heavily armored and armed with Autocannons or Plasma Cannons. They
are used to probe the enemies defenses. Test their weak spots in the offense, before falling back and letting the Panzers and Panzer Truppen push
forward for the assault.
The Rhineland 130 does not wait to win a war of attrition, they force that attrition on their enemies through massive breakthroughs and lighting
fast strikes into the rear. They can not be stopped once they have broken through a defensive line, especially if they have the support of the
Imperium behind them, keeping them fueled, keeping them armed and fed. They could push across an entire planet in a year if given the chance.

Equipment:
Flak and Clothing: Suited for the terrian they are fighting in. PDF and most new recruits wear Fald Greu.
Boots: Black Jackboots, no leggings
Aquila: Subdued or white.
Weapon: Camo Green.
