==History==
=== Early History ===
The '''First Amphigean Light Assault Group''' mustered as a part of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] during the [[First Succession War]], at some point after [[2786]].<ref name="FSWp136"/>

=== Third Succession War ===
The unit was stationed on the world of [[Reisling's Planet]] in 3025.
The First participated in the [[Galtor III|Galtor]] campaign in [[3025]], against Davion forces. They fought from August 29th to September 10th.<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 7</ref> There, they destroyed the [[Raman Draconis March Militia]] and inflicted severe casualties on the [[Bremond Draconis March Militia]].<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 12</ref> The unit suffered 31,31% casualties during the operation.<ref name=TGCp59/>

=== Fourth Succession War ===
During the early months of the [[Fourth Succession War]], [[Coordinator]] [[Takashi Kurita]] was focused on his conflict with the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] mercenary [[brigade]], but following pleas for help from [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]], the DCMS planned and launched additional offensives against perceived weak spots on the Federated Suns border. The Galtor Thumb region was one such weak spot and Galtor III was invaded by the First Amphigean Light Assault Group. The [[Gasltor III Militia|planetary militia on Galtor III]] consisted of aging [['Mech]]s piloted by old [[MechWarrior (pilot)|pilots]] and a few regiments of conventional forces, which were swiftly defeated by the LAG. Despite the militia being easily beaten, an extensive guerrilla resistance campaign began on Galtor III that would continue to dog the DCMS forces on the planet, even though the Combine officially considered the planet to have been annexed in early January [[3029]].<ref name="4SWv1p80">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 80, "Other Actions"</ref>

===War of 3039===

===Ronin Wars===
{{Sectionstub}}

===Clan Invasion===
During the Clan Invasion, the First learned that their sister regiments had been destroyed by the Clans. They wanted to avenge their fallen comrades, but were restricted to garrison duty by the [[Truce of Tukayyid]]. To appease their honor, the First was assigned to raid several worlds in the Clan occupation zone. They raided [[Cyrenaica]], [[Irece]], and [[Avon]]. These raids were intended to disrupt any Clan invasion plans by seizing or destroying Clan supply depots. These raids were frequently successful and the First inflicted heavy losses on the garrison units on those worlds as well.<ref name=FMDC95/>

===Operation Bulldog===
Volunteers from the unit formed the ''The Swarm'' Provisional Company as part of [[Operation Bird Dog]].<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 8</ref> The 1st Amphigean also raided the world of [[Byesville]], losing only a lance to enemy forces.<ref name=FMUp113>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113, "1st Amphigean Light Assault"</ref>

===Dominion War===
The First Amphigean took the world of [[Dyev]] in the [[Lyons Thumb]].<ref name=FMUp113/>

===Federated Suns Incursion===
In [[3066]], the First Amphigean defeated the [[1st Ceti Hussars]] on [[Kesai IV]], bringing the planet into the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=FMUp113/>

===Jihad===
Faced off against the [[Word of Blake]] on [[Atria]] in the early 3070's. They rotated to [[Dromini VI]] in [[3073]] and faced the Blakist's a month later. The First Amphigean destroyed half the Blakist's DropShips with artillery fire and continued to sting the invaders for months. Shortly before [[Operation SCOUR]] started, the High Command reinforced the First with infantry and armor assets.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref>

===Republic Era===
The First continued to hold the Combine-Blakist Protectorate border throughout Operation SCOUR and after the Jihad ended. At the end of the Jihad, the unit had been reduced to two battalions, but they realized that the Quartermaster wouldn't send them replacements. The First sent technical and recovery teams to battlefields in nearby systems, and recovered nearly a company of 'Mechs. They spent the next few years acquiring new warriors and equipment and by [[3085]], they had rebuilt to regimental strength.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 48</ref>

In 3085, they were garrisoning [[Bjarred]] and [[Salford]], acting as a quick-response force for the [[Pesht Military District]].<ref name=FM3085p51/>

===Dark Age===
The First Amphigean Light Assault Group joined the [[2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group]] in battling the [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cat's]] [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Gamma Galaxy]] on [[Avon]] during the Nova Cat Rebellion. Though the two Light Assault Groups were eventually able to destroy the Nova Cats, they sustained heavy losses during the fighting.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 36</ref>

As of [[3145]], the First are posted to [[New Samarkand]], to bolster the defense of the planet with the short-handed [[Twelfth New Samarkand Regulars]].<ref name="FM3145p62">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 62, "First Amphigean Light Assault Group"</ref>

==Tactics==
The First Amphigean LAG uses their high speed to engage an enemy force and then withdraws, encouraging their opponent to follow them. Enemies who do follow the retreating Amphigeans are typically ambushed by other Amphigean forces stationed nearby. After [[3055]], the First Amphigean used the same tactics, but ''Tai-sa''s Trueffeau and Two-Feathers would split the unit into two units. Against enemies who assumed they were facing the entire unit, this tactic of splitting up allowed the Amphigeans to hit the enemy in the flank or rear.<ref name=FMDC95/>

The 1st Amphigean LAG regiments may use Off-Map movement (see p.192, TO). When fighting in clear terrain (such as the Plains of Galtor), the First Amphigean LAG gains +1 Running MP and automatically wins Initiative the first 2 turns of combat.<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 8 "Amphigean Light Assault Group"</ref>
