Field Command

Unlike the cowardly Eldar, who will freely run from a fight to regroup, the Imperial Guard can never retreat. Once committed to a fight, they either win or fight to the last man, and the Commissars ensure they will perform this duty whether they want to or not. Following this ethos, the Field Command is built out of immobile rockcrete with firing slits on all sides for last-ditch defense. It is also connected to a massive tunnel network running between most Imperial Guard structures, allowing troops to quickly redeploy without exposing themselves to enemy fire. Once deployed, it will either direct the Imperial Guard forces to victory or let them take as many of the enemy with them as possible.

As with the Space Marine Stronghold the Field Command undergoes some major physical and functional upgrades as the battle goes on. First a green radar unit is placed on the square depression. Then, the end of the building with a skull painted on it becomes a tower that is taller than the rest of the above-ground building (It seems likely that most of the Imperial Guard buildings have many features located under the ground.)

Tactics

The Field Command is a good method of transporting troops to a forward Infantry Command or Listening Post. It costs no support cap, takes only 5 seconds, and can effectively allow them to win the fight. It is also common to load three Guardsmen Squads or Techpriest Enginseers into the Field Command and use it as a bunker.

Weapons

The Field Command weapons must be manned by Imperial Guard squads bunkered inside the building. Commissars, Psykers, Priests, and the Vindicare Assassin cannot man guns although they still take up a bunker position. Ogryns count for two positions in the bunker but only man one set of guns. The first squad mans the Lasguns, the second squad mans the Plasma Guns, and the third squad mans the Heavy Bolters.

Each gun is mounted on all four sides of the building and can fire at its own target without reducing the damage dealt by any other gun. This allows the Field Command to target and attack at full damage four different targets when completely surrounded.
