History

The First Orloff Grenadiers is the oldest regiment in the formation. With so much history it often performs ceremonial duties and conducts "show the flag" tours, but is a highly skilled combat unit.

In order to maintain their excellent public image, members of the First are constantly required to adhere to dress codes. Soldiers in the unit who wear the wrong uniform or a dirty one are subject to heavy fines. Should a soldier consistently fail to adhere to the dress codes, they can receive black marks on their records or even be cashiered from service.

The First Orloff Grenadiers weren't really in any serious fighting during the Jihad. They garrisoned Hassad and kept it safe from threat forces.[3]

Officers

In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Sigurd McDowell.[4]

Though he remained in command nominally, Brevet Colonel Aumi Shapiro had operational control of the Grenadiers.[2]
