Role
Main article: The role of the observer company was partially disputed by members of the regular army. Who viewed them as northing more than political spies. While troops from assault section of CompForce generally believed they were genuinely there to 'learn' how the imperial military operated. Practically speaking; each Observer made sure that all officers and enlisted personnel showed proper respect to the tenets of the New Order.
