Formed during the [[thirty-second century]], the Fourth Robinson Strikers were intended as a mirror of the [[Davion Assault Guards]]. Except for the unit's hover squadrons, every war machine is heavy or assault weight, and with the addition of a battalion of [[artillery]] and an ''[[Arondight]]'' [[DropShip#Pocket_WarShip|Pocket WarShip]] the Fourth has ably served as a "fire brigade" to the embattled Draconis March.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 80: Robinson March Brigade/Fourth Strikers - The Fourth Robinson Strikers initial description</ref>

All it's elements of this combined armed with exception of it's hovercraft, are of the heavy or assault weight class, intending work as the brigades heavy-hitters should there need reinforcements. Additionally, the unit is reinforced with a battalion of artillery and assigned a ''[[Arondight]]''-Class Pocket Warship to around out assigned combat strength.

===The Draconis Combine Invasion of 3144===
In the Battle for [[McGehee]], the unit was stationed on-planet when the [[Sixteenth Galedon Regulars]] attacked. Despite the Fourth Robinson being outnumbered in BattleMechs their superior skills in combined-arms warfare enabled them to inflict heavy losses on the Sixteenth before the Davion troops finally withdrew to [[Dahar IV]]. In one notable incident along the Davis River, the Fourth's 302nd Amphibious Platoon (nicknamed "The Red Trident") used their [[Sea Fox (Battle Armor)|''Sea Fox'' Battle Armor]] to ambush a [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery|DCMS]] column escorting the captured command staff of one Strikers battalion. The Red Trident successfully rescued the prisoners and together they were able to retreat off-world with the rest of the Fourth.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', p. 6: Sea Fox amphibious armor - Actions of elements of the Fourth Robinson Striker's battle armor troops during the McGee invasion</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 54, 80: Galedon Regulars/Robinson March Brigade - The Sixteenth Galedon versus the Fourth Robinson Strikers, noting each side's aspects of the battle and the year it occurred</ref>

The Battle Armor troops would use the river's as cover they would ultimately destroy transport ship's escorts, rescue the Strikers’ battalion command post staff that had been overrun by the Combine's troops.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', p. 6 Sea Fox amphibious armor - Actions of elements of the Fourth Robinson Striker's battle armor troops during the McGee invasion.</ref> The Fourth inflicted heavy damaged against the Combine force due to it's well-homed team work and skills, this would aggravating the Sixteenth which they would paid back in kind with their signature savagery they were known for before Strikers would be forces quit the planet for [[Dahar IV]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 54,80 Galedon Regulars/Robinson March Brigade - The Sixteenth Galedons verses the Fourth Robinson Strikers, noting both sides' aspects of the battle and the year it accrued.</ref>
