Hello all!
I am working in the background for my IG army. Actually it is not imperial guard, but Oniss federation armed forces (a rogue subsector) but hey. The thing is that I have been looking at different regimental organizatrions from around the world and designed my own one. I would like the people "in the know" to give it a check if possible. The final result is that of a rapid intervention force, based on going there, destroying whatever neds to be killed and racing out before the enemy can return in strength. It is an armoured regiment, but with some infantry support to do this role. Thanks in advance 
The general contents are as follow: - 4 tank squadrons - 2 mechanized infantry companies - 1 recon squadron - 1 engineer company - 2 Artillery support sections (one of pure artillery, and the other of StuG-type assault cannons)

basically 2 mechanized infantry companies. Around 270 dudes overall.
SUPPOORT SQUADRONS Under the direct command of the regiment colonel. Assigned to missions as needed.
- 7th Recon Squadron - Command vehicle 700 (VEC) - Section 1: 5 VEC* + 2 sentinels 710 711 712 713 714 715 716 - Section 2: 5 VEC* + 2 sentinels 720 721 722 723 724 725 726 - Section 3: 5 VEC* + 2 sentinels 730 731 732 733 734 735 736 - Section 4: 1 VEC*(HQ)+ 9 sentinels 740 741 742 743 744 745 746 747 748 749 - Section 5: Mech inf recon unit 750 751 752 753 754
The vehicles in each section are organized in pairs or trios for recon missions, except for the ones finishing with a zero, that are command vehicles.
*= VEC stands for "Vehicle of Cavalry Exploration/Recon" in Spanish (Vehiculo de Exploracionde Caballeria). Dunno how to translate them. Usually they are light tanks on wheels or tracks, depending on how much money they have invested on them :lol: appart from that they are your average recon units.
- 8th Assault engineers Company (4 sections) - Company HQ. 1 transport vehicle 700 - Section 1: Mechanized HQ + 4 assault engineers assault platoons. 5 transports - Section 2: Mechanized HQ + 4 assault engineers assault platoons. 5 transports - Section 3: Mechanized HQ + 4 assault engineers assault platoons. 5 transports - Section 4: Assault Vehicles: Mech. HQ + 4 Hellhound Assault Flammer Tanks
OTHER SUPPORT ELEMENTS - Autopropulsed (is that a wor? it means that it moved by itself) Artillery Section: 5 basilisks with indirect fire - Assault Cannons section: 5 basilisks (StuG III style)
It is quite long, I know (I spend a lot of time typing that down!!) but I would appreciate comments on it if you could. Thank you 
Oh, so far I have been criticized that it has quite some artillery, since there are 10 artillery pieces assigned to the HQ and 8 further pieces assigned to the 2 infantry formations. Dunno if this is normal or is a particularity of the Spanish armoured battlegroups (couldn't find company links for the US and UK military) or if it is quite common for mechanized units to have their own 120mm mortar (or equivalent) section assigned to the company.
Regards,
Xavi
