Of the Tactical Space Marine, bedrock of his Chapter and paragon to his brothers, I shall tell thee.

He shall be steeped in the lore of battle and schooled in all manner of weapon and strategy. With combat blade, boltgun and grenade he shall assail the foe. But these are mere tools: a Tactical Marine's true weapons are his courage, his wits, and his dedication to his brothers.

He will bring his foe to battle in a manner and time of his choosing, never himself caught unready or ill-prepared for the task at hand. In defence he shall be stalwart as the mountain, a bulwark stood firm against the enemies of Man. In attack he shall strike with the wrath of the Immortal Emperor, felling the foe without mercy, remorse, or fear.

Roboute Guilliman, quoted in the Apocrypha of Skaros

关于战术星际战士，他们是战团的基石，是兄弟们的楷模，我将讲述。

战术星际战士应沉浸于战斗知识的海洋，研习各类武器与战略。他将手持战斗刀、爆弹枪与手榴弹，向敌人发起攻击。但这些不过是工具而已：战术星际战士真正的武器，是他的勇气、智慧，以及对兄弟们的奉献精神。

他会选择合适的时机与方式，主动与敌人交战，面对手头的任务，永远不会毫无准备或准备不足。防守时，他将如高山般坚毅，是抵御人类之敌的坚固壁垒。进攻时，他将带着不朽帝皇的怒火出击，无情、无悔、无畏地击倒敌人。

罗伯特·基里曼，引自斯卡罗斯经书

A Tactical Squad is a type of Firstborn warrior formation in a Space Marine army. A Tactical Squad is the most versatile and tactically flexible force in the Space Marine army, making up the majority of the four Battle Companies and the entirety of two of the four Reserve Companies in a typical Codex Chapter. This makes them the most common type of unit in the Space Marine forces.

战术小队是星际战士中的一种长子战士编队。战术小队是星际战士中最多才多艺、战术最灵活的部队，在典型的圣典战团中，它构成了四个战斗连的大部分和四个预备连中的两个的全部。这使他们成为星际战士中最常见的部队类型。

Training and Deployment 训练与部署

Prior to service in a Tactical Squad, Space Marines must prove themselves capable in all aspects of warfare by completing several campaigns in Assault and Devastator Squads, a process that can last years or decades. Not all Space Marines are able to make the transition, either possessing a particular talent or obsession within one area, or simply lacking the mental flexibility required to embrace the Tactical Squad's fluid nature.

在战术小队服役之前，星际战士必须通过在突击和毁灭小队完成几次战役来证明自己在战争的各个方面都有能力，这一过程可能会持续数年或数十年。并非所有星际战士都能实现这种转变，要么在一个领域内拥有特定的天赋或痴迷，要么只是缺乏接受战术小队流动性所需的灵活心理。
