Regimental Command
The Current Regimental Command of the Teutonic Regiments numbered 1 to 225 are lead in theory by Field Marshal Helmit von Hindaberg, Among his Command staff are number of generals and Commanders from several units of the Imperial Guard. About ever 20 to 25 years the Regiments gather to exchange hardware, get super reinforcements of men and supplies from Teuton III, at such times major reviews of Policy are done and the Regimental Command actually means something. However mostly the Teutonic 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
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 Teutonic 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.
Regimental Structure

Squads are led by a Non-commissioned officer — the squad leader or platoon commander, usually a sergeant, Vets are often lead by a sergeant major or some times a commissioned officer if special forces. He or she is usually assisted by a non-commissioned officer — the Squad 2IC normally a corporal though Vets often have a sergeant.
Platoon [Zug]
Platoon is a military unit typically composed of three squads and containing about 36 soldiers. A platoon is typically the smallest military unit in any Teutonic Regiment led by a commissioned officer — the platoon leader or platoon commander, usually a lieutenant or a second lieutenant.

World Overview:
The Teutonic Imperial Guard Regiments are largely from Teuton III is a Hive world. Military Manufacturing has largely been kept to Teuton III, huge amounts of basic Imperial Guard munitions and equipment are mad there. Teuton II and Teuton I are mining worlds where special Machines and Underground bases are used and the Mean temperatures are much hotter than Teuton III. Teuton V, VI, VII, VIII, IX are beyond an asteroid field and are all gas Giants Each with many moons and Rings. Teuton X is largely believed to be a Errant Moon of Teuton IX. as it a small Earth body, still considered a Planet by the local system population. There is strong Abhuman population on Teutonic, Ratling and Ogryn settlements can be found in smaller sections of the world. These are descended from retired Imperial Guard members that were assigned to Teuton Regiments over several thousand years they have reach stable populations and now serve in Teutonic Regiments rather than having to be assigned to the units. Teuton III has an unusual affect on Ogryns, they are surprisingly fertile and many are born on the planet, further they are often far more intelligent than normal as well. The Teuton III has huge sections of forests because of the Hive creations. The land outside is largely soft wood. because most of the mines are on other planets in the system. The land is rather unpolluted and the recycling industry has grown greatly since 37M.
Culture:
Because of a Strong martial culture when the Emperor's Crusade swept through the Teuton System, a number of links remain to this Ancient heritage. Noble Houses that formed much of the upper reigns of power remain very powerful even has the Formal Class system has lessen in the waves of Imperial Guard regiments that have left Teutonic. Warriors are still the most important prestige class in the Teutonic world but many Noble houses have found the need to place their Sons and Daughters in the Imperial Guard, Many of the noble house heads which serve as Hive district governors have spent many years in the Officer Corp of the Imperial Guard or at least the PDF force. Guard Commanders are the norm. Over the last 10,000 years. The Noble and Commoner lines have blurred and service in the Imperial Guard or PDF. Swordsmanship is still a well seen hobby for most Noble house members and duels are not uncommon, mostly to first Blood.
Tithe:
The Guard tithe for the Teuton System is 100,000 a year. this is rather low for a hive but the equipment and munitions amounts off set it.

3rd Preobrazhensky Regiment
C/O Colonel Petr Stalin
World Overview:
When the Emperor came and showed the people of Rossiya IV the True light. This is represented often as red star in art, and cap badges of the 3rd Preobrazhensky Regiment and also remains a popular Icon for Regiment Tanks and Armoured Units. This however, is not representing the Emperor as the star but representing the guiding light he brought to the Rossiya system was reclaimed into the Imperium. Rossiya IV is a Largely Hive world with several hives in the cold snow regions of the world. Rossiya IV is a colder world with great forests of pine like trees and short but hot summers. much of the center belt land is where the majority of the hives cities are but several are linked to the former land of their nobles and remain in the colder areas. Military Manufacturing has largely been kept to Rossiya III which is largely a Mining world with a Mean Temperature of just over 40 degrees C. Rossiya II and Rossiya I are mining worlds where special Machines and Underground bases are used and the Mean temperatures are much hotter than Rossiya III. Rossiya V, VI, VII are beyond an asteroid field and are all gas Giants Each with many moons and Rings. Rossiya VII is largely believed to be a Errant Moon of Rossiya VIII. as it a small Earth body, still considered a Planet by the local system population. There is strong Abhuman population on Rossiya IV, Ratling and Ogryn settlements can be found in small corners of the world. These are descended from retired Imperial Guard members that were assigned to Rossiya Regiments over several thousand years they have reach stable populations and now serve in Rossiya Regiments rather than having to be assigned to the units. Another Quirk of people of Rossiya System is their Tolerance of Pyskers. They don't fear Psykers . This acceptance has some times cause the inquisition to investigate the planet.
The Field Marshal, and General of the PDF form the Technical heads of government all three serving as the Heads of the Shogun Council. Both the Field Marshal and General are Governors of Rossiya IV but the General of the PDF is generally the Defacto leader of the Government of the Planet because of the fact that the Field Marshal are off fighting for the Emperor. The Rest of the Council is made up of Noble lords of the the Hives of the Planet, Many are based on old Noble Territories from before the Return of the Emperor.
Rossiya on the whole is a well run and protected system. Life on Rossiya IV is very peaceful when compared to most of the Imperium, especially so for a hive planet. People know their places and social rules Crime is low and nearly everyone is feed. The Planet's PDF is one of the best in the sector.
Rossiya was Discovered and Pacified by Leman Russ M30
Culture:
There remains a strong sense of nobility among the noble familes of Rossiya, in fact every person in the Preobrazhensky Regiment must come from a noble family, thought occationally some well decorated officers from other Rossiya, might get transfer after being added to one of the old Noble Knightly orders. The Order of Imperial Saint Andrew is very open to such thing when the right person comes along. Everyone else enlists in the Russkiye Regiments of which there are a Hundred of. Some less norbles don't quite make it to Preobrazhensky Regiment, and serve as officer in the RusskiyeRegiments. On occation they even manage to make good, and become good officers. most often they die though. Everyone equal in the Russkiye Regiments and more than a few recruits find that their proof of leadership in train can get them a spot in the next officer's class. As a result of this however the Preobrazhensky regiments are more prestagious, and goal of everyone that ever made an officer in the Russkiye as it the only way to possible join the noble classes.
Tithe:
Every year Six hundred thousand to one million are sent as reinforcements to the Regiments depending on the requirements of the regiments and the Imperail Guard.
There of course are a couple Historical based Gags since these are base of two real armies. There are bonus points for working some of them out.
