Why are they wearing Stormtrooper armor when they
have Holtzman shield technology?

I always assumed during operations on Arrakis they avoided shields
because of the effect they had on the sandworms (and the possibility
of the Fremen using lasguns).

Sardaukar were experts in covert operations (on Arrakis they fought in Harkonnen livery), but could easily be recognized by their distinct
fighting style (like grouping in threes in close-quarter combat).

Slight internal conflict of descriptions there :-D
