History

Formation

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.[1]

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.[1]

Anton's Revolt


4th Succession War


Andurien Secession


Operation Guerrero

In 3057, the First attacked Oliver in conjunction with the Twentieth Marik Militia, forcing the Third NAIS Cadre from the planet.[1] After that they engaged in several smaller anti-terrorist operations throughout the Duchy.[2]

Operation Bulldog


Jihad

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]

As of 3050 to 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Douglas Hoppe, a native of Carbonis.[5][6][1] In 3067 Colonel Hope was selected to act as the overseer of all Orloff Grenadiers regiments. Though he remained in command nominally, BrevetColonel Aumi Shapiro had operational control of the Grenadiers.[7]

As of 3085 the commanding officer is Colonel Judy Westings.[8]

Tactics

The command is trained to response to many battlefield situation with the right tactic, but in urban warfare they excel.[1]
