Having some service under their belt, their higher-ups gave them a promotion. Those who are exclusively tactile are promoted to a sergeant-like role, and lead a squad of goblins ranging from four to eight. This doesn't mean they are treated any better than their bugbear companions, as they are generally looked down upon for their small size. They are strict in the militaristic fashion, making most of their resources for personal survival and to get the mission done. Rogue groups of these companies are common on the outskirts of hobgoblin civilization. They wear the insignia of their leader, even if they were a former leader. They are tacticians first and foremost, and won't sacrifice themselves unless in rare circumstances.
