This is all on the bureaucracy of the Legions and their battle field role.

The Legion is lead by two individuals, the Proprimus and the Pro-Legate the Proprimus is expected to lead the Legion in battle and ceremonies while the Legate is the bureaucratic head of the Legion. Under the Proprims and Pro-Legate are the Primus and Legate who each command one of the 10 Cohorts (Each Cohort is kept at a steady 10,000 combat legionaries) each Cohort is split into 10 Centuries/Companies which are lead by Centurions/Captains (Both titles are used) further breakdowns exist like the 100 strong Vexillation lead by a Optio and the 10 man squad lead by the Tesserarius/Sargeant.

On the battle field the Legionary is a mobile tank, heavy shock troop, you name it. Their main role is of shock and awe, to smash through and annihilate enemy positions, formations, and defense lines. To do this they wear heavy power armor and wield rapid fire weapons capable of shredding through most combat armors, light vehicle armor, and some of the more powerful variants able to take down light to medium vehicles. Legionaries are also expected to get up close and personal, for this purpose the Legions make use of many anti-personal weapons from arcane weapons like swords and hammers, weapons like flamethrowers and acid spiters, and all sorts of fragmentation devices.

The Legions are meant to be mobile as well seeing as they are not a stationed army instead they are split up and deployed all across crisis zones throughout the Empire to suit this purpose the Legions make use of both fast and hard hitting ships to quickly break apart a blockade and create a landing zone to having massive mech suits that are easier to deploy and far faster then the conventional ground vehicles. Each Legionary is also expected to be rather 'mobile' with each given a basic jump pack and a few proper jet packs (Phoenixes)

The Legions do not wholly rely on the basic Legionary within their ranks are many elites and terrifying weapons of mass destruction. The main groupings of these would the Honor Guard, Centurion Class Suits, and Terminators/Devastator Squads.

Firstly the Honor Guard who can be definned as the elite of the Legion, they have survived upwards of 200 years of service in the Legion and from if not all then a large percentage of the first Cohort. They are given some of the finest armor and weapons available to the Legions and are the few considered worthy of becoming either Praetorians or Palatine (Jovian) Legionaries both of these are considered elite formations above all the rest.

Centurion Class Suits are named 'Centurion' because each suit takes the name of a legendary Centurion of the Legions past. These massive suits are the Legions answer to any sort of heavy resistance. Centurion suits come in many different load outs but for the most part they pack the weapons of a heavy tank.

Terminators are smaller variants of the Centurion Class who's sole role is to terminate the enemy with no mercy. They are equipped with a suit in between the armor of a Legionary and that of a Veteran and are equipped with the heaviest weapons the legion has (Save those on the Centurion). They are normally used for either close support or decimation missions. The first company of every cohort is filled with Terminators.

The Legion also has a host of Auxilia taken from the native of their fiefs at their disposal. They normally take the form of light, specialist, and defensive infantry. They are at about the same level as the average soldier but they are far more fanatical then the rest.
