The **Dark Angels Army** is the land-based branch of the Dark Angels military. As time progressed, the Dark Angels Army swiftly expanded, making use of highly trained soldiers, tanks, mechanized walkers, and overwhelming numbers. The Dark Angels Army works in tandem with the forces of the Dark Angels Navy and Dark Angels Air Force, relying on the navy's fleets to transport legions of troops across planets and the air force's aircrafts to transport troops on the surface. The most common soldiers of the Dark Angels' ground forces are known as Fire Warriors, the core infantry of the army tasked with establishing control and fighting on the front lines.

As the branch of the Dark Angels Military that deals with surface operations, the Dark Angels Army is composed of many sub-units and organizations and utilizes a vast array of vehicles to achieve its objectives.

### **Tactical Organization**
