180th Dragoon Combat Group

History

The origins of the 180th Dragoon Combat Group are not known, however there is speculation that the command was originally the 238th Striker Regiment that may have turned mercenary in 2784 although this is unconfirmed.

It is the heaviest unit in the Brigade, designed for assault combat. The main mission for the last 300 years was to act as ambos for the other regiment and fought many campaigns. During the FedCom Civil War they fought against the 11th Avalon Hussars on Brockway and act later as a relief force for the allied forces on Panpour. On Panpour the unit hammered two entire March Militias into the ground. DeMaestri's Sluggers regiment of the Fighting Urukhai were nearly destroyed while they act on their own goals and the pro Katherine forces made short work with them.

Officers

Colonel Marie Stevens command the unit at the moment and is a soldier with higher standards of battle.

Tactics

As a surprise for the opponent the 180th Dragoon can close a distance gap quickly, which is hard for the assault machines
