A vanguard was a division of the droid armies of the Trade Federation and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was larger than a battalion but smaller than a regiment, composed of 1,232 battle droids organized into eleven Multi-Troop Transport companies in addition to support droids and eighteen Armored Assault Tanks. Vanguards were commanded by a battle droid officer and were designed to break through heavy defenses.
