The Kempeitai were members of a political police force. Kempeitai were heavily involved in the training and indoctrination of new militia recruits.

Cruel methods propaganda and brainwashing insured that even the mostly poorly trained and equipped Japanese civilians would not hesitate to attack invading forces.

From a giming point of view the squad is on inexperienced but they do have the “Show Your Loyalty” trait.

The trait allows “green” troops within 6″ to re-roll their green special rule which can mean that when they suffer their first casualty they can be upgraded to regular (having a particularly confident day) on a roll of a 5 or a 6. Re-rolling this can be a great benefit.

The Kempeitai is not worth having unless you have green troops. I also think it is not worth giving him any additional men to support him.
