The foreboding shadows of Kondrus Aeroguard gunships and their hooded drop troops have graced many a recalcitrant world's surface. An Air Assault formation, the Kondrus Aeroguard make extensive use of VTOL gunships which serve as organic transport and fire support for squads of Light and Medium infantry. Light infantry (in search of a better name) serve as infiltrators and guerrillas, drawn from the bands of young scavengers and treasure seekers that scour the lichen-jungles that cover the industrial ruins which surround the Hives of Kondrus. Medium Infantry possess semi-powered armor, allowing them to carry heavy stubbers as primary weapons. These squadrons are also host to Hardsuits, bipedal walkers which carry a host of heavy weapons and advanced sensor systems. The Aeroguard also makes use of elite, armored formations of light tanks and self propelled artillery for the rapid exploitation of enemy weaknesses and strikes against enemy command and control nodes. Rarely seen though often prized are Kondrus Aeroguard GravLancers, large yet fast skimmers that possess Grubhead Demolition rockets. Flying low and hugging the terrain, GravLancers and their devastating ordinance are used to break stubborn enemy fortifications.

Doctrinally, the unit excels at delaying actions, guerrilla operations and surgical strikes. Light forces are deployed over a large area to attrition enemy forces, either striking enemy supply lines or destroying enemy scouting formations. Once an enemy has engaged, heavier forces are deployed at strategically important targets to draw enemy forces into a decisive engagement. Finally, elite air mobile armored formations strike against enemy command and control nodes. All the while, their air forces harass and resupply friendly forces, the whole formation aiming to throw enemies off balance.   While tactically and strategically nimble, Aeroguard regiments lack the capability to provide a knockout blow in a head to head fight, under performing when not augmented by a more heavy hitting or numerous force. Also, their lack of initiative in cooperating tactically with other Imperial Army troops can result in battlefield friction.

Kondrus Aeroguard Regimental sub-organizations can easily be detached from their respective regiments and reattached to provide specialty troops and support for other formations in a campaign. However, due to their insular nature they do not without explicit orders coordinate tactically with other units, preferring to serve as forward scouts, flank security or close air support.
