Deathwatch Space Marines will usually operate in individual Tactical Squads, known as Kill Teams. Each Kill Team will be led by an [[Inquisition_%28Warhammer_40%2C000%29#Famous_Inquisitors|Inquisitor]], [[Space_Marines_%28Warhammer_40%2C000%29#Captains|Brother-Captain]] or [[Space_Marines_%28Warhammer_40%2C000%29#Librarians|Librarian]]. Their missions ranging from those undertaken alone and without support, attempting to accomplish their goals with minimal combat engagement; to open battle re-enforcing allied forces against alien incursions.
 
The highly perilous and vital nature of their missions means that Kill Teams have access to exceedingly rare or advanced equipment, such as Heavy Bolter Gyro Suspensors, M.40 targeters, and numerous types of specialist ammunition, such as the fragmentation Metal Storm shells or the high-powered Kraken penetrator bolts. If the situation offers no alternative, they will utilize alien weaponry and equipment to accomplish their mission. The Deathwatch often utilises unconventional means of insertion, such as teleportation, high altitude grav-chute drops and [[Demiurg (Warhammer 40,000)|Demiurg]] Termite tanks.
