The regiments of the Lyran Regulars were prone to being disbanded and reactivated as needed; each time a regiment was reactivated, it would be populated with a mix of reenlisted veterans and fresh recruits, before being assigned to a garrison posting to free up a line regiment for active service. During peacetime, the Regulars would then draw down to a much smaller size as a brigade, awaiting the next time they would be called on. During the closing decades of the [[Star League era]] the 1st carried the nickname "The Officer Regiment", a consequence of the number of personnel assigned to the regiment as a result of being underperforming leaders that the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] felt might be capable of filling secondary officer positions within line regiments during a crisis.
