==History==
Having survived the [[Davion Civil War]] as a [[brigade]] and been given clemency by [[First Prince]] [[Alexander Davion]], the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] remained at a consistent strength of ten [[regiment]]s from the formation of the [[Star League Defense Force]] at the end of the [[Age of War]] through the twenty-seventh century. The issue of the [[Council Edict of 2650]] that limited the size of the military of each of the [[Great House]]s had no effect on the Fusiliers,<ref name="FR2765:FSp18">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 18: "Syrtis Fusiliers"</ref> but the repeal of the Edict in [[2752]]<ref name="FR2765:FSp3">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 3: "Strategic Update"</ref> led to a sharp and dramatic increase in size of the brigade.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/>

Having survived the [[Davion Civil War]] as a [[brigade]] and been given clemency by [[First Prince]] [[Alexander Davion]], the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] remained at a consistent strength of ten [[regiment]]s from the formation of the [[Star League Defense Force]] at the end of the [[Age of War]] through the twenty-seventh century.

That expansion began in [[2755]] following authorization from First Prince [[John Davion]] and saw ten new regiments including the '''Nineteenth Syrtis Fusiliers''' founded over the next ten years.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> All was not well within the new regiments, however; the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] was an army based on volunteers, not conscription or drafting, which generally resulted in the [[AFFS]] being staffed by loyal soldiers who shared a common vision. This wasn't the case with the new Syrtis Fusiliers regiments; the personnel of the Nineteenth and her newly-formed sister regiments reflected the hostility towards the [[Capellan Confederation]] espoused by a large portion of the population, and this resulted in a number of discipline issues as well as constant agitation to be allowed to strike at the Confederation in retaliation for the pirate and bandit raids believed to be funded or conducted by Capellan forces.<ref name="FR2765:FSp19">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 19: "Morale"</ref>

The ten new regiments were almost identical in composition when founded; each consisted of ten [[company|companies]] of [['Mechs]], with those ten companies being comprised of five companies of assorted heavy and medium weight 'Mechs - predominantly ''[[Archer]]s'', ''[[Dervish]]es'', ''[[Warhammer]]s'' and ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverines]]'' - three companies of lightweight designs (typically ''[[Locust]]s'' and ''[[Wasp]]s'') organized as a recon [[battalion]] and two assault companies equipped mainly with ''[[BattleMaster]]s''.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/>
