They are the thin line that protects mankind. They are the Imperial Guard.

"Regiment" in the Imperial Guard context, has no fixed size or specific definition, and there are multiple contradictory sources on the matter to further complicate things. The 2nd Edition Imperial Guard codex, for example, defined a Regiment as being all the Guardsmen raised from a single world during a single muster... which, given that such musters basically took the top 10% of all fighting men (and anything else needed to make up any shortfall), means that by that definition a single Regiment could be composed of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Guardsmen.

Yeah, I realize that. That is just another reason I skim over those parts of the fluff. I have a feeling the real explaination is that one of the writers just threw the term out there, then someone pointed out that flaw, and they just rewrote the fluff to mean that.
OOOOH! They have the internet on computers nowadays!
