The '''Officio Prefectus''', otherwise known as the '''Commissariat''' is the organisation to which all Commissars belong; even though all Commissars and Commissar Lords report to their respective regiments, they do have their own hierarchy and their own separate structure within the Officio Prefectus.

	The Commissariat oversees the activities of the Commissar officer corps within the [[Imperial Guard~~\|Astra Militarum.~~]] The Commissariat attaches Commissars to most Regiments of the Imperial Guard to inspire its men, boost morale, and if necessary take control when its commanders or men are demonstrating a lack of zeal or competency. The Commissariat also recruits potential Commissars from the [[Ecclesiarchy]]'s [[Schola Progenium]] then trains them for their duties within the Guard, as well as determining the ongoing fitness of Commissars in the performance of their duties.		According to ''The End and the Death'', the Officio Prefectus's predecessor, the Command Prefectus, was an idea realized in the final days of the [[Siege of Terra]]. The proto-Commissars were charged with keeping an eye on the refugees in the Imperial Palace to root out any heretic and traitor by {{BLAM\|'''BLAM!'''}}-ing.

	Because of their 'eliteness', Lord Commissars are often grouped with the [[Militarum Tempestus]] where they can oversee and help provide firing support to the [[Stormtrooper\|glory boys in blue.]] They act as a command unit and provide some decent leadership buffs. However due to the general lower model count for the Militarum Tempestus, it is ill-advised to actually [[Blam]] a model in the first place.
