Shock troops or assault troops are formations created to lead an attack. They are often better trained and equipped than other infantry and expected to take heavy casualties even in successful operations.
"Shock troop" is a calque, a loose translation of the German word Stoßtrupp (literally "push squad").[1] Assault troops are typically organized for mobility with the intention that they will penetrate enemy defenses and attack into the enemy's vulnerable rear areas. Any specialized, elite unit formed to fight an engagement via overwhelming assault (usually) would be considered shock troops, as opposed to "special forces" or commando-style units (intended mostly for covert operations). However, both types of units could fight behind enemy lines, by surprise if required.
Although the term "shock troops" became popular in the 20th century, the concept is not new, and Western European armies in past centuries called them the forlorn hope. Presently, the term is rarely used, as the strategic concepts behind it have become standard contemporary military thinking.
In 375 BC, under the command of the younger Pelopidas, the Theban Sacred Band was united as a single unit of shock troops. Their main function was to cripple the enemy by engaging and killing their best men and leaders in battle.
Grenadiers originated as specialized assault soldiers for siege operations. First established with a distinct role in the mid- to late-17th century, grenadier units would throw grenades and storm breaches, while leading the forefront of a breakthrough. Even after abandoning the use of the original black-powder grenade, armies retained the grenadier companies and regiments as specialist assault troops.
The armies of both the Union and the Confederate States in the U.S. Civil War each fielded several crack infantry units used as shock troops. The Union's Army of the Potomac utilized the Iron Brigade and the Irish Brigade (Union Army) in the role, and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia used the Texas Brigade and the Stonewall Brigade much the same, with all these units suffering high casualties due to the assignments they drew from higher because of their fighting prowess.
During the First World War, many combatants faced the deadlock of trench warfare. On the Western Front in 1915, the Germans formed a specialized unit called the Rohr Battalion to develop assault tactics. During the Brusilov Offensive of 1916, the Russian general Aleksei Brusilov developed and implemented the idea of shock troops to attack weak points along the Austrian lines to affect a breakthrough, which the main Russian Army could then exploit. The Russian Army had also formed hunter commando units in 1886 and used them in World War I to protect against ambushes, to perform reconnaissance and for low-intensity fights in no-man's-land.[4]
The von Hutier tactics (infiltration tactics) called for special infantry assault units to be detached from the main lines and sent to infiltrate enemy lines, supported by shorter and sharper (than usual for WWI) artillery fire missions targeting both the enemy front and rear, bypassing and avoiding what enemy strong points they could, and engaging to their best advantage when and where they were forced to, leaving decisive engagement against bypassed units to following heavier infantry. The primary goal of these detached units was to infiltrate the enemy's lines and break their cohesion as much as possible. These formations became known as Stoßtruppen, or shock troops, and the tactics they pioneered were the basis of post-WWI infantry tactics, such as the development of fire teams.
Notwithstanding the postwar status of the Storm Troopers in German service,[clarification needed] the same sort of tactical doctrine was widely espoused in British and French service in late 1917 and 1918, with variable results. The British Army standard training manual for platoon tactics, SS 143, was used from February 1917 onwards and contained much of what was standard for German shock troops.[5] US forces were trained in tactics by surviving French cadre from chasseur units, and were trained to use French Chauchat light machine guns and rifle grenades.[citation needed]
After 1943 (particularly during and after the invasion of Italy), specialist British units, such as the Commandos and certain detachments of the Special Air Service were used as shock troops against well dug in or elite German forces. Again, both forces would be used in similar roles after the Allies crossed the Rhine, serving as a vanguard for British forces.
The demands of infantry fighting in the Second World War erased much of the romance of shock troops, particularly when any well-trained infantry was capable of the same tactics, especially in a formal assault on a well-defended objective. The Soviets retained the term shock (although the term can also be translated as strike) as a designation for armies involved in assaulting the enemy's operational depth as part of Soviet deep battle doctrine.
I have been playing wehrmacht and getting mg's out early, whenever they get shock troops the destroy all of the AG's I have then when I suppress them they smoke off line of sight. I am unable to macro fast enough to set it up farther back. If I retreat it is just giving them more resources.
Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida and the former White House advisor Steve Bannon floated an idea that an "army of patriots" and "shock troops" should be prepared to take over the government if former President Donald Trump were to run and win in 2024.
Normal gauntlet without HI is pretty spicy already, but I agree people should have the ability to seek a greater challenge if they want to. I play shock/HI regularly even if it reduces my winrate because it is simply a thrill compared to normal diff 5.
The Canadian Corps, a force of 100,000 soldiers by late 1916, fought for the entire war on the Western Front, along a static trench system that ran 700 kilometres from Switzerland to the North Sea. There was no easy solution to overcoming the power of defending armies properly situated on ideal terrain and protected by barbed wire, machine guns, artillery, and backed by reinforcements. But as the war progressed, armies on both sides introduced new weapons and tactics in the attempt to break the stalemate. Canadians were at the forefront of this evolution, earning a reputation as shock troops whose innovative, combined-arms approach to battle helped break the conundrum of the trenches.
The Canadians engaged in another major battle, at Festubert, France, in May 1915, where they were slaughtered in horrific numbers in frontal assaults against dug in enemy troops. After suffering 2,500 casualties at Festubert, the Canadians settled into the boredom, banality, and brutality of trench warfare.
The Canadians had earned their reputation as shock troops, and they were widely recognized as one of the most effective fighting formations within the British Expeditionary Force. But the tremendous fighting during the Hundred Days had also inflicted more than 45,000 casualties on the Canadian Corps. The German army was decisively beaten in the field, but it had come at a withering cost.
A: Roll individually for each shock troop and ground force. If you roll even, that unit is destroyed. Then roll for the next unit. If a ground force is destroyed because of this, a shock troop is not destroyed instead. Only the unit that is rolled for is killed.
Imperial shock troopers, also known as Coruscant shock troopers and Imperial clone shock troopers, and formerly as clone shocktroopers and clone guards under the Galactic Republic, were elite stormtroopers who served in the Coruscant Guard of the Galactic Empire. During the Clone Wars, the shock troopers were specialized clone troopers who served as a security police force on the planet Coruscant, capital of the Republic. Noted for their distinctive red and white clone trooper armor, they supplemented the Senate Guard as bodyguards for galactic senators, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine and other officials, such as Governor Wilhuff Tarkin. In addition to protecting the government facilities and officials of the Galactic Senate, shock troopers specialized in guarding prisons, maintaining civil order as anti-riot police officers, and escorting diplomats for off-world assignments.
The shock troopers served under Clone Commander CC-1010 "Fox," the commanding officer of the Coruscant Guard, during the the galaxy-wide Clone War between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Other clone trooper officers who commanded shock troopers included Clone Lieutenant CC-4477 "Thire," Clone Commander CC-5869 "Stone," and Clone Commander "Thorn." Shock troopers participated in a number of events both on Coruscant and elsewhere during the war, from the raid on Ziro's Palace, the hunt for Ahsoka Tano, and the hunt for CT-5555 "Fives," to the ambush on Rugosa, the mission to Florrum, and the invasion of Scipio. The capital's security was breached on two occasions despite the presence of the clone shock troops; Coruscant's central power distribution grid was bombed by Separatist infiltration droids, and Ziro Desilijic Tiure was released from Republic custody as a result of the Senate hostage crisis in which a group of politicians were held captive by the bounty hunter Cad Bane.
As the war continued clone shock troopers were stationed in the Republic Center for Military Operations, which included a detention area for suspected terrorists and traitors to the state. Shock troopers were also tasked with maintaining order in the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center, a facility for prisoners such as Bane, Moralo Eval, Aurra Sing, and Ziro Desilijic Tiure. Though Bane and Eval escaped from the Republic prison, they were recaptured on Naboo by the shock troopers who escorted Chancellor Palpatine to the 847th Festival of Light.
