Detachment: Name/Type (Unit Keyword)

Detachment NameType
A unit with the Detachment keyword doesn’t count against the maximum number of units of its Rank that can be included during Army Building. A unit with the Detachment keyword can be included in a player’s army only if another unit that has the unit name or unit type specified and does not have the Detachment keyword is also included in that army.Each unit with the Detachment keyword needs its own matching specified unit. Additionally, during the Deploy in Prepared Positions step, a unit with the Detachment keyword gains the Infiltrate or Prepared Position keyword for the remainder of the game if its matching specified unit has that keyword.
For example, a player wishes to add a DF-90 Mortar Trooper to their army. Because the DF-90 Mortar Trooper has the Detachment: Shoretroopers keyword, the player must first add a unit of Shoretroopers to their army before adding the DF-90 Mortar Trooper. The player does so, and the army now contains a Shoretroopers unit and a DF-90 Mortar Trooper unit. The player then wishes to add a second DF-90 Mortar Trooper unit to their army, and therefore must first select a second unit of Shoretroopers to include in their army.
