The Argo Brigade specializes in counter-insurgency operations, psychological warfare, and light reconnaissance tactics. They prefer anti-armor and flesh melting weapons. The regiment has the macabre tradition of crucifying captured xenos and traitors upside down or impaling several victims sideways upon massive metal pikes, which are well attended public events and do wonders for morale.

The Argo Brigade has several specialized duty positions within the unit, some familiar to the larger Astra Militarum, others wholly unique to the Argives. Standard infantry Guardsmen are known as Peacekeepers, the term relic of their time as a PDF. These Peacekeepers act both as standard fighting infantry and once a population is beginning to become appropriately pacified, assist the military police in returning the planet to Imperial control. As the Commissariat polices the guard, the Brigade Military Police work with intelligence guardsmen to police the populace and ensure that civilians still loyal to the Imperium remain that way under threat of torture and crucifixion, and seek to root out hidden rebels. When the tides have turned and the enemy has begun to be beat back, the Military Police will liaise with the [[Adeptus Arbites]] to restore pacified areas and return them to the Imperial Control. A hybrid of Military Police, Cavalry Scouts, and Peacekeepers, Special Task Forces are small platoon sized elements within each combined Intelligence and Military Police Company. Afforded exemplary equipment, dedicated Valkyrie transports, and loose mission parameters, STFs operate outside the normal doctrinal restrictions of Peacekeepers to take out high value targets and vital infrastructure.

The Argive Brigadiers are known for their efficiency in mostly everything they do. Their ability to adopt different campaign strategies with various variables in mind is famous across the Imperium of Man. There are few scenario that they have not thought of or haven't prepared for. Their intelligence apparatus, psychological operations and strategic planners work closely when making plans for the upcoming campaign to maximize damage upon the enemy while minimizing loss of life and logistical support. However campaigns requiring long, pitched battles or ones against a foe that knows not fear has historically been the bane of the Brigade. Even some rebellions have been too much for the Brigade to quell in full, requiring an outright culling of the planet.

Their efficiency can be seen in their arranged public mass executions called Parades. Their main focus is to raise morale of the troops and make local population be more compliant for the Brigade and Imperium of Man also demoralize enemies, but they also have secondary objective. For example these can be utilized to isolate certain areas to make "safe zones" for Brigade. These parades are often advertised events in which large swaths of the surrounding civilian populace  (should any remain) are invited to an area such as a city square or mall with the promise of aide and succor. Often this also attracts covert traitors that wish to inflict harm upon the population and brigadiers, however the brigade will usually anticipate this and once the enemy shows their hand the unit will close off the parade grounds, turning into a killing field.

Once the enemy has been dealt with the true purpose of the parade is revealed; Peacekeepers roll out detainees and prisoners of war and begin to crucify them and impale them upon corpse pikes in a grand and grisly ceremony.

Standard regiments and more Peacekeeper regiments are also raised from Argo, well equipped due to its industrial capacity since being rebuilt, and the planet itself has become the home of the premier Arbitrators in the sectors nearby.
