	The second and markedly less savory role performed by the Regulars was that of suppressing civilian rebellions; acting in support of other formations, particularly the [[Sword of Light]] [[brigade]], the Regulars took on responsibility for garrisoning and policing pacified areas, freeing other, higher-readiness formations for other actions.

Lacking a border with a hostile major power, the Regulars usually suffered from lower holdings of combat expendables, including armor, because of the low chances of them seeing combat. However, as guardians of [[Luthien]], the capital of the [[Draconis Combine]], the Regulars were well-trained in performing drills, marches and parades, providing examples to encourage greater loyalty amongst the citizens of the Combine. The Regulars were evidently successful at this, as the [[Pesht Military District]] continued to generate far more recruits for the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] than it did the [[Star League Defense Force]].<ref name="FR2765DCMSp13"/> The second and markedly less savory role performed by the Regulars was that of suppressing civilian rebellions; acting in support of other formations, particularly the [[Sword of Light]] [[brigade]], the Regulars took on responsibility for garrisoning and policing pacified areas, freeing other, higher-readiness formations for other actions. The Regulars would also be redeployed to other Military Districts on a temporary basis to cover garrison postings where other combat units had been deployed forward. In the closing years of the [[Star League]], the Sixth Pesht Regulars and her sister regiments were frequently understrength, as a result of higher-quality personnel being moved on to other district brigades and even Sword of Light regiments, with replacement personnel being supplied slowly by the Bureau of Substitution.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp13"/> ===3rd Succession War=== In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Nowhere]].<ref name=HKp134/> ===War of 3039=== The Sixth Regulars were stationed on [[Nowhere]] during the entire war and saw no active combat.<ref name=HSWo3039>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 139</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== The unit was considered unremarkable, and because of this fact, the unit was transferred to [[Qandahar]] in its eponymous [[Pesht Regulars|Prefecture]]. It was replaced on its prior assignment on the border of the [[Clan Occupation Zones|Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone]] by a [[Ghost Regiments|Ghost Regiment]]. The unit was used as to cover the underprotected [[Periphery]] border. During this time, the unit suffered a drop in morale because of the move and conflicts between the Regiment commander and Third Battalion's commanding officer.<ref name=FMDC71>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 71: "6th Pesht Regulars Unit Profile"</ref> When its sister unit, the [[7th Pesht Regulars]] were called to fight in [[Operation Bulldog]] in 3059, the unit got a morale boost as it was being divided up and deployed elsewhere to cover the 7th's commitments<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 109: "6th Pesht Regulars"</ref> As of [[3067]], the unit was reassembled on [[Land's End]] for garrison duty here as well as Qandahar.<ref name=FMU118>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 118: "Ningxia Prefecture & Qandahar Prefecture Deployment listings September, 3067"</ref> ===Jihad=== The Sixth Pesht spent several years on [[Qandahar]] until they could be transferred to [[Kaznejoy]] to deter the [[AFFS]]. A conflict on [[Lyons]] with the [[7th Donegal Guards]]<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 21</ref> cost them a position in [[Operation SCOUR]]. Reassigned to [[Pesht]], the Sixth guards against Clan aggression.<ref name=FRDCMSp11>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 11</ref> ===Republic Era=== In [[3085]] the Sixth received a lot of new recruits and more experienced warriors from other commands. The Warlord hopes that by bringing these new troops into the Sixth, it will dispel the low morale left behind when the officers who allowed the Lyons Incident to occur were relieved of duty. The Warlord is looking for the Sixth to assume the leadership role in the Pesht Regulars, and in so doing, rebuilding the Pesht District's pride in itself. The improvement shown by the [[3rd Pesht Regulars]] and the honor the [[7th Pesht Regulars]] received in [[Operation SCOUR]] has motivated the Sixth to improve.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 42</ref> ===Dark Age=== The Sixth in this era have been kept on [[Pesht]] to secure it from aggression from the [[Rasalhague Dominion]], rather than join their fellow commands in the invasion of the [[Federated Suns]]. This has drained them of personal as many have volunteered for the transfers to other units to seek glory.<ref name=FM3145p56>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 56: "Sixth Pesht Regulars"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 6th Pesht Regulars''' |- | ''[[Brigadier General]]''||[[Ajid ben Aryen]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HKp134>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 134: "Deployment Table"</ref> |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Jefferson McCarl]]||[[3050]] - [[3067]]<ref name=20YU42>''20 Year Update'', p. 42</ref><ref name=FMDC71/><ref name=FMU118/> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Yuuki Yukimura]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p51>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 51: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Komachi Nanami]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM3145p67>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 67: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== === Star League Era === As a regiment within the Pesht Regulars, the Sixth was primarily trained in garrisoning pacified areas, conducting operations to dig insurgents and rebels out of urban areas, and frontal assaults against prepared defenses.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp13"/> === Succession Wars Era === In [[3025]] the unit had no specialty.<ref name=HKDCp144-145>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', pp. 144–145: "The Pesht Regulars"</ref> === Clan Invasion === The Sixth operates well with the support of conventional fighters and [[VTOL]] craft.
