History
The modern 1st Syrtis Fusiliers were formed in mid-3079, a product of the rebuilding of the AFFS, although their formation owes much to the persuasion applied by New Avalon to Field Marshal Nathaniel Hasek to persuade him to stop attempts to rebuild the various Syrtis Fusilier units as RCTs and instead embrace the LCT concept. Stationed on Taygeta, by August the Fusiliers' equipment and personnel were mostly in place, although the unit was still shaking itself down. Despite the rapid construction process the Fusiliers underwent, they were soon expected to reach regular combat status thanks to intensive training with the Davion Assault Guards.[1]
Despite being newly formed, the Fusiliers would soon see combat; when Operation MATADOR, the Federated Suns counter-offensive against the Taurian Concordat began in May 3080, the Fusiliers were on the front lines. The Fusiliers took part in a lightning combat drop on the world of Flintoft alongside the Assault Guards, one of nine worlds being attacked by AFFS forces; together with the Guards the Fusiliers established and secured a beachhead to allow conventional forces to land on the planet.[2]
By 3085 the Fusiliers were stationed on Hadnall, although they were somewhat short of their effective combat strength compared to mid-3079.[3]
Officers
When the 1st Syrtis Fusiliers formed, many of the unit's personnel were drawn in from Capellan March personnel stationed in non-March units. The unit CO is an example of this; Major Francois Wang was promoted two ranks when she was posted from the Heavy Guards to command the Fusiliers.[1]
As of 3085 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Wallace Hasek-Cole.[3]
