The First Andurien Hussars was the first [[regiment]] from the brigade to form, and was initially staffed predominantly with troops from the Capellan and Sianese Commonalities to ensure that there were enough loyal soldiers to actually establish the regiment. The First faced a difficult few years after their initial deployment; the law enforcement agencies within the Andurien Commonality had been on the verge of collapse before the Terran-brokered peace agreement, and many did collapse after the incorporation of the worlds back into the Confederation. The First Hussars arrived to discover that many of the Andurien cities had fallen under the control of criminal elements or gangs.<ref name="FR:CC2765p8"/>

The source of this pattern of behavior was the first Commanding Officer of the First Hussars, [[Colonel]] [[Nathaniel Yong]]; a dedicated devotee of the principles of the [[Korvin Doctrine]], Colonel Yong inspired his troops into placing the good of the Commonality above their own lives; rather than abusing the ability to take the law into their own hands which had been given to them by the [[CCAF]], the soldiers of the First Hussars instead worked hard to investigate each and every crime fully and to never use more than the minimum necessary force.<ref name="FR:CC2765p8"/>
