In the movie, the Galactic Empire (Star Wars), in the form of Darth Vader's Imperial Death Squadron, has found the main base of the Rebel Alliance (Star Wars) on the planet Hoth. All parts of Hoth that are seen in the movie are snow-covered polar climates. The only local fauna seen are List_of_Star_Wars_races#Tauntaun, which resemble oversized kangaroos with ram horns, and shaggy carnivorous beasts called List of Star Wars races#wampa. The Imperial forces consisted of at least nine AT-ATs and several AT-STs as well as ground troops. According to the ''Inside the Worlds of The Original Trilogy'' factbook, the force also included a number of AT-AR and AT-PT walkers. This Imperial Force was deployed by 3 Walker Dropship. (Though the dropships did not appear in the ''Empire Strikes Back'', they were mentioned in the ''ITW: OT'' factbook.) The rebels employed light aircraft (modified T-47 Speeders), led by Commander Luke Skywalker and large static cannon batteries to fight a delaying action but were swiftly overwhelmed by the mechanized assault. Despite the escape of all senior personnel, the loss in material and men proved a disaster for the Rebel Alliance. The elite Snowtroopers were designated the Blizzard Force Team, assigned to general Maximillian Veers and the Imperial Navy. This Stormtrooper legion was well trained in combat on snow covered worlds as well to be able to perform their missions as quickly as possible. The Imperial assault was primarily aimed at destroying the Rebel's primary power generators. This would shut down the theatre shield protecting the base from orbital bombardment. General Maximilian Veers led the assault and crushed (in some cases, quite literally) the Rebel's defenses and then destroyed the power generators. Once that had succeeded, Imperial forces could use airmobile tactics to deploy snowtroopers into Echo Base itself. Approximately thirty spacecraft belonging to the Rebel Alliance managed to take off (excluding the ''Millennium Falcon'') but seventeen of them were destroyed by the Imperial naval squadron blockading the planet. The initial assault was met with some misgivings by various Imperial officers. They may have preferred a surprise attack with limited long range orbital bombardment to destroy any spacecraft and the defenses -- and then sweep in to capture the survivors. However, Admiral Ozzel exited hyperspace too close to the star system and Rebel early-warning sensors detected the fleet. The theatre shield protecting Echo Base was activated, precluding any bombardment. Darth Vader executed Ozzel for his incompetence and promoted Admiral Piett, then-captain of the ''Super_Star_Destroyer'', to Admiral. Vader then ordered General Veers to begin the surface assault. The battle was not without loss for the Empire: ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer ''Tyrant'' was damaged by the planetary ion cannon, several AT-ATs were destroyed by Rebel defenders and more lost to the treacherous ice floes giving way. Despite forcing the Rebels to flee, they were unable to destroy all of the fleeing ships and Lord Vader failed in what he considered a primary objective, namely capturing Luke Skywalker. The full Battle of Hoth explained here showed much more devastating losses for both sides than what was seen in the movie ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Star Wars battles
According to the Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy, there were Blizzards 6,8, and 9. So there must have been more than the 5 in the movie. Also, the commanders of the other AT-ATs were Brig.
