Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions and the force by which the Great Crusade reconquered much of the galaxy. Armed and armoured for battle in the harshest of environments the Legion Tactical squad is a highly flexible infantry unit, able to attack or defend at will, assault heavily fortified positions and take and hold strategic objectives. Tactical squads were employed by all eighteen of the Space Marine Legions, and usually as full squads of twenty Marines.
The most dedicated warriors, renowned for their training and discipline, the Ultramarines Legion was amongst the most powerful forces under arms in the Imperium at the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. Separated from events across the galaxy by time and distance, the Ultramarines and the 500 worlds of Ultramar that looked to them for protection first felt the pain of treachery in the cataclysm attack on Calth by the Word Bearers. The carnage enacted would have crushed many Legions, but the Ultramarines fight on!
