Space Marine Scouts chiefly fight as skirmishers, relying on stealth rather than brute force to accomplish missions. Lightly armed and armoured in comparison to their more experienced battle-brothers, Scouts operate independently from the main Space Marine force, infiltrating enemy positions and clearing the way for the Chapter's advance. By operating deep within hostile territory, Scouts reconnoitre the enemy's movements, set ambushes, sabotage supply lines and destroy communications centres in daring commando raids. Sometimes Scouts will pounce unseen to capture enemy commanders for excruciation. The Scouts' goal is to strike hard and vanish before the enemy has the chance to retaliate.?

星際戰(zhàn)士偵察兵主要是作為散兵進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)斗，他們依靠隱秘行動而非純粹的力量來完成任務(wù)。相比于他們經(jīng)驗更為豐富的戰(zhàn)斗兄弟們，偵察兵的武器和裝甲更為輕便；他們獨(dú)立于星際戰(zhàn)士主要部隊之外進(jìn)行運(yùn)作，滲透進(jìn)入敵軍陣地并為戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的前進(jìn)清出道路。通過深入敵軍陣地后方行動，偵察兵們觀測敵軍動向、進(jìn)行伏擊、破壞補(bǔ)給線并發(fā)動特戰(zhàn)突襲來摧毀通訊中心。有些時候，偵察兵們也會趁敵人不備發(fā)動偷襲，抓住敵軍指揮官來進(jìn)行拷問。偵察兵的目標(biāo)是在敵人有機(jī)會報復(fù)之前進(jìn)行猛烈進(jìn)攻并消失。

When first inducted into a Space Marine Chapter, a recruit joins the 10th Company as a Scout. He is placed under the tutelage of a sergeant who will lead him on the field of battle and instruct him in what it truly means to wage war as one of the Adeptus Astartes. Only once he has proven himself worthy of his Chapter by excelling in the ranks of the 10th Company will a Scout be deemed ready to join the main ranks of his Chapter's battle-brothers.?

在一名新兵被納入星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的最初階段，他會加入第10連隊成為一名偵察兵。他們會受到一位軍士的監(jiān)護(hù)教導(dǎo)，后者會在戰(zhàn)場上率領(lǐng)他們，并且傳授給他們作為阿斯塔特修會的一員進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)爭的真實意義。只有在第10連隊中表現(xiàn)出色，以此來證明自己對戰(zhàn)團(tuán)而言是有價值的人員后，一名偵察兵才會被認(rèn)為做好了加入戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的主力部隊——戰(zhàn)斗修士行列的準(zhǔn)備。

A new recruit has much to learn and must endure many long months of gruelling training regimes before he takes to the field of battle. Not only must he master the many biologically engineered enhancements that are at work within his body, he must also learn the litanies of battle that fortify him and become skilled in wielding his wargear. Not all recruits survive their training, for no quarter can be asked or given when forging Humanity's finest warriors. Hundreds meet a gory end with each new wave of recruits, their shattered bodies left in unmarked graves. Those that survive are well prepared for their first taste of battle as a Space Marine Scout.?

一名新兵有很多東西要去學(xué)習(xí)，在上戰(zhàn)場之前，他必須要忍受幾個月的艱苦訓(xùn)練。他不僅必須掌握自己體內(nèi)諸多發(fā)揮功效的生物工程強(qiáng)化功能，也必須學(xué)會能增強(qiáng)自身（作戰(zhàn)技能）的戰(zhàn)斗連禱，并且能熟練使用自己的武器裝備。不是所有新兵都能從訓(xùn)練中存活下來，因為鍛造人類最優(yōu)秀戰(zhàn)士的過程中不會被要求或給予任何寬恕。每一批新兵中都有數(shù)百人會遭遇這種血淋淋的結(jié)局，他們破碎的遺體會被留在沒有標(biāo)記的墳?zāi)怪?。幸存下來的那些新兵則為自己作為星際戰(zhàn)士偵察兵的第一次戰(zhàn)斗體驗做好了準(zhǔn)備。

Throughout his service as a Scout, the recruit is instructed by his sergeant, his actions guided, watched over and judged as he strikes the foe with bolter and blade. The Scout will grow proficient with many other firearms, learning how to snipe the foe with long-range rifles and how to demolish enemy battle tanks with heavy weaponry. Whilst acting as part of an infiltration force, a Scout will become skilled at every aspect of war. He will learn that to be a Space Marine is to be death incarnate, no matter the terrain, the nature of the foe, or the weapons arrayed against him.?

在作為偵察兵服役的整段過程中，新兵們都接受著軍士的教導(dǎo)。在他們手執(zhí)爆彈槍和利刃進(jìn)攻敵人時，他們的行為會受到引導(dǎo)、觀察和評判。偵察兵們會逐漸精通其他許多槍械，學(xué)會如何用長射程步槍狙殺敵人，如何用重武器摧毀敵軍戰(zhàn)斗坦克。而當(dāng)作為滲透部隊的成員行動時，偵察兵們也會變得精通戰(zhàn)爭的各個方面。他們將會明白：無論面對怎樣的地形、何等性質(zhì)的敵人或是被哪些武器針對，星際戰(zhàn)士都將是死亡化身。

SCOUT BIKE SQUADS?

偵察機(jī)車小隊

During the final stages of a Scout's training, he is attached to a Bike squad. Scout Bikers are employed as fast-moving reconnaissance and disruption units, booby-trapping neutral ground and sabotaging enemy resources. They operate on a longer leash than other Scouts, often acting as a separate and distinct adjunct to the main Space Marine force. In this role, the Scout Bikers probe opposing lines for weakness, set locator beacons for incoming teleporters, or launch surgical raids behind enemy lines while the foe concentrates on the main Space Marine attack.?

在偵察兵訓(xùn)練的最后階段，他們會被配屬到機(jī)車小隊。偵察機(jī)車騎士們是作為快速移動偵查和破壞單位進(jìn)行部署，負(fù)責(zé)在中立（模糊）地帶設(shè)置餌雷和暗中破壞敵軍資源。相比于其他偵察兵，偵察機(jī)車騎士的行動更受約束，他們通常是充當(dāng)星際戰(zhàn)士主力部隊的一種獨(dú)立且獨(dú)特的附屬部隊。在承擔(dān)這類角色時，偵察機(jī)車騎士們負(fù)責(zé)探查對方的弱點，為后續(xù)的傳送部隊設(shè)置定位信標(biāo)，或者在敵軍集中對抗星際戰(zhàn)士主力時在其陣線后方發(fā)動外科手術(shù)式的突襲。

STEALTH TACTICS?

潛行戰(zhàn)術(shù)

The small but elite forces of the Space Marines put a high value on the element of surprise. Sometimes this can be achieved through speed - rapid strikes that deploy before a foe can counter. While such sudden assaults are a hallmark of the Adeptus Astartes, they are also able to utilize stealth attacks in a manner few other forces can emulate. By using auto-senses and sophisticated scanning equipment, some Space Marines learn to avoid visual detection, dodging patrols or enemy pickets when needed. Sniper teams secrete themselves in commanding overviews. Assault Squads and gray-chute bearing Reivers are silently air-dropped into position, while Scouts in camo cloaks steal into position. When the attack comes - coordinated to the millisecond - it is a perfect example of the combined arms approach espoused so often in the Codex Astartes. Brief but bloody assaults follow, throwing the foe into disarray while other elements of the attack join the fray, be they massed Rhino transports disgorging troops or Drop Pods hurtling down from the skies. While nearly all Chapters regularly employ covert operations, some, like the Raven Guard, are particularly adept at such missions. Their ability to stalk their prey from the shadows is the stuff of legend.?

星際戰(zhàn)士部隊規(guī)模較小且精銳，他們高度重視出乎敵人意料之外的戰(zhàn)術(shù)。有時他們可以通過在敵人反擊之前部署快速打擊來實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。這種突然進(jìn)攻是阿斯塔特修會的特點，他們還能夠以一種幾乎沒有其他部隊能模仿的方式來發(fā)起隱形攻擊。通過使用自動感官系統(tǒng)和復(fù)雜的掃描設(shè)備，一些星際戰(zhàn)士學(xué)會了避免被敵軍視覺探測到，并在需要的時候躲避巡邏隊或敵軍哨兵。在突擊小隊和裝備了灰色空降傘的掠襲者們被悄無聲息地空投到行動地點的同時，身披迷彩斗篷的偵察兵們也潛入到行動位置。但協(xié)調(diào)到毫秒的進(jìn)攻（行動）到來時，這便是《阿斯塔特圣典》通常支持的聯(lián)合部隊作戰(zhàn)方式的完美案例。簡短但血腥的攻擊緊隨其后，敵人陷入混亂，同時當(dāng)其他攻擊分隊也加入戰(zhàn)斗時——其部署方式可能是由大量犀牛運(yùn)輸車運(yùn)往前線，或者是乘坐空降艙從天空中疾馳而下。雖然幾乎所有戰(zhàn)團(tuán)都會經(jīng)常采取（此類）隱蔽行動，但某些戰(zhàn)團(tuán)尤其擅長此類任務(wù)，比如暗鴉守衛(wèi)戰(zhàn)團(tuán)。他們從陰影中潛行接近獵物的能力是傳奇般的。
