101st Pesht Guard Regiment
Affiliation Draconis Combine
Parent Command Sixth Pesht Regulars


The 101st Pesht Guard Regiment was an Infantry based combat unit in service of the Draconis Combine's Armed Forces. The command was made up principally of conventional infantry augmented by some airborne combat vehicles and conventional aircraft formations.

History[edit]

The unit had been attached to the Sixth Pesht Regulars not long prior to the Clan Invasion. They developed close working ties with the Regulars' Third company,[1] regardless of growing friction between Third Company and the rest of the regiment.[2] Later in history, when the 'Mech Regiment been divided by reassigning of the Regulars' Second company on Land's End, the Guards would be left on Qandahar with the Third company and the rest of the regiment.[3][4]

As with their parent unit, the 101st Guards had no active role in the early Jihad and would remain stranded on Qandahar. Later they were transferred to Kaznejoy as an deterrent against raids by Davion troops from the Draconis March. In 3076, not long before Operation SCOUR the regiment could take part in clashes with the Lyran Seventh Donegal Guards on Lyons.[5] After that incident, the Sixth Regulars were sent back to Pesht.[6]
