Unit Brief

History
Capellan Border and Operation Guerrero
Over the course of the after the 4th Succession War and Clan Invasion, the unit was primary stationed on border with House Liao. Designated to defend against raids and other threats which left the unit with alot free time. Initially their unit commanders Colonel Gotch and Clifford drilled the unit in parade-grounds skills, to keep the unit displined and busy. These unit skills came useful, when League went on the offensive.
In 3057, Operation Guerrero was launched by Captain-General Thomas Marik after the death of his son. Operation had the 3rd Oriente invade the Federated Commonwealth world of Van Diemen IV. Here they fought the 3rd Republicans for control of the planet. The unit utilized pre-planned operations without using communications, leaving the 3rd Republicans without means listen into their plans. The Hussars, were victorious over the Republicans claiming the planet. The Hussar's supporting troops however were badly mauled and was forced to withdraw.[1]
In 3063, Force Commander Therese Mathews, the unit's executive officer replaced Colonel Dumoss.[2] The regiment equipment has been mixed ranges of from ancient to modern equipment from Word of Blake Militia. The unit Tank force took brunt of Operation Guerrero had not yet recover its losses from battle with Republicans. Infantry forces, formed from Van Diemen's militia are badly under equipt and its commander suspect they would not survive battle should they placed in one.[3] After taking command, Colonel Mathews begun to trained her new command in art of precision strikes. These style which she learned while when she served with elite Eagle Corp. Her commando training saved her from six assassination attempts on her life over course decade. Unknown to most these actions were of actions of the Word of Blake.[4]

During the Jihad, the unit was garrisoning Van Diemen IV when the Word of Blake's 15th Division assaulted the planet in 3069. The suprised attack on the Hussars began to over powered the by the Division's artillery and Aerospace bombardment. During the course of the actions, Force Commander Norris Anderson murders the unit's commander in a morning staff meeting.[5] This left the Hussars in chao and ultimately were defeated.
