COMPNOR observer company
A COMPNOR company was a formation of the Imperial Army.
Organization
Designed to consist of 157 CompForce troopers from the observation section of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, a set of three companies would typically be attached be attached to each army, systems army and sector army headquarters.[2]
Role
The role of the observer company was partially disputed by members of the Galactic Empire. One army view was that their nothing more than political spies. Conversely, 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. This contributed to the less than stellar relationship with the imperial military. Although hostility towards a CompForce Observer such as for example an insult could ensure a quick end to anyone's career.[1]
