	Of the various [[brigade]]s of Regulars active within the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery during the [[Star League era]], the [[regiment]]s of the Benjamin Regulars - including the '''Fifteenth Benjamin Regulars''' - were considered to be the most flexible. This was a reflection of the reality that the Regulars could at any point be called on to fight against the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] or the [[Star League Defense Force]], as a result of the [[Benjamin Military District]] bordering the [[Federated Suns]], [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Terran Hegemony]]. This was even acknowledged by the [[Internal Security Force]], who gave the Fifteenth and the other regiments of the Regulars more leeway than the average [[DCMS]] unit - an attitude the Benjamin Regulars repaid by limiting complaints and criticism to supply issues and local concerns, rather than anything to do with politics.<ref name="FR2765p10"/>		Of the various [[brigade]]s of Regulars active within the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery during the [[Star League era]], the [[regiment]]s of the Benjamin Regulars - including the '''Fifteenth Benjamin Regulars''' - were considered to be the most flexible.
