The Custudo is the Empire's largest fighting force far out eclipsing the legions and the fleet combined. For this very reason the Empire has put in place a strict structure and guidelines to keep this well oiled machine well oiled for many more eons to come. Unlike the legions or fleet where some units are slightly different then others the Custudo for the most part are all the same with the same equipment, same weapons, and same gear.

Equipment:

combat armor:

Each guardsmen is given basic armor which comes in two types, heavy and light (Depending on the guardsmen role) each suit of armor is painted the same color depending on role with a few unique distinctions for each unit.

Every suit of heavy armor is equipped with HUD and basic life support systems with these suits being able to be used pretty much everywhere.

Light armor gas a few optical attachments and can have a re-breather fitted if necessary but not much else.

Weapons:

Each Guardsmen is given the basic standard issue las rifle alongside a side arm, bayonet, and a utility knife.

Med-packs:

Each Soldier is given a basic med packs that is able to treat minor to medium wounds in combat. Field medics carry a more enhanced variant.

Vox-caster:

Normally in the form of a radio pack this piece of equipment is important for every single division of troops. Guardsmen from the signal corps are chosen to carry the Vox-caster packs into battle. While the standard soldier has a miniature one within his helmet somewhere.

Entrenching tool:

An over glorified spade carried with much of the guard's equipment within a pack upon his back.

Infantry Man's Guide to War:

A standard issue book with everything a guardsmen will ever need in the theater or war with information of basic tactics to more advance ones. It also has information on enemy races and even has some nifty prayers in the back.

Field Cap:

Part of the dress uniform every guardsmen is given a field cap with the color matching his/her armor. with golden trim and is normally has black or tan as the main colors(Depending on unit) Officers have a eagle upon the front of the cap while NCO's and enlisted personal have nothing.

Other:

All the other essentials like hygiene items to bed rolls are kept within the pack carried upon the guard's man back.

Uniforms:

The Uniform of the guard is  pretty much the same with all having the same drab wool trousers and shirts with a matching overcoat (Normally in brown or black color) Each soldier wears a uniform and armor color depending on role, here is the colors:

Olive Green (Infantry)

Tan (Armored Infantry)

White (Artillery and Aviators)

Red (Veterans, specialized units)

The only other uniform is 'dress' uniform which is a less baggy uniform used in ceremonial purposes and comes with the field cap. The overcoat can also be worn with the basic uniform and the field cap is not supposed to be worn with the basic uniform but the practice is tolerated.
