Editing CAAN Regiment

The '''CAAN Regiment''' (Cavalry, Armored, Aerospace and Naval) was a combat command type of the [[Star League Defense Force]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 13</ref>

==Description==
First formed in [[2315]], the [[1st CAAN Regiment]] (at that time Combined Armor, Air, and Naval) was an experiment by the [[Terran Alliance]] and continued by the [[Terran Hegemony]], following the [[James McKenna|McKenna Coup]]. After a year of training, the CAAN concept received its trial-by-fire on [[Ingress]].<ref>''The Star League'', pp. 16-17, "Terra's Errant Flock" & "Viciousness on Ingress"</ref>

The concept proved immensely successful, with the [[SLDF]] eventually fielding no less than 38 Royal CAAN Regiments and 29 (standard) CAAN Regiments. At the time of the [[Amaris Civil War]], only 16 were still on the rolls. The heavy fighting on [[Carver]] and [[Terra]] took a fearsome toll on the units, with only three surviving as SLDF units. All three (the [[22nd Royal CAAN Marine Regiment|22nd]], [[31st Royal CAAN Marine Regiment|31st]], and [[32nd Royal CAAN Marine Regiment|32nd CAAN]]s) joined [[Operation EXODUS]]. The [[29th Royal CAAN Marine Regiment|29th CAAN]] abandoned the SLDF in [[2766]], eventually forming the [[1st Canopian Light Horse|1st]] and [[2nd Canopian Light Horse]]. A battalion of the [[38th Royal CAAN Marine Regiment|38th Royal CAAN]] briefly operated as pirates before being destroyed in [[2768]]. One regiment, the [[9th Royal CAAN Marine Regiment|9th Royal CAAN]], is completely unaccounted for.<ref>''The Star League'', pp. 140-158</ref><ref>''Field Manual: SLDF''</ref><ref>''First Succession War'', pp. 32-36, "Those Left Behind"</ref>

CAAN regiments were headquartered on [[Carver#Carver V (Liberty)|Carver V]], on the large island of [[Quantico]], with other island facilities, such as [[Paris Island]], fulfilling supporting roles.<ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 187, "Death to Tyrants</ref><ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 82, "The Marines Of Carver V"</ref>

The Terran Hegemony maintained a hostile environment school for CAAN training on [[Titan]], a moon of Saturn ([[Terra|Sol VI]].<ref>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 58, "20th Royal CAAN Marine Regiment"</ref>

The [[21st Illician Rangers]] provided high-risk combat drop training for the CAANs and jump infantry commands, a skill the units had perfected and performed since the [[26th century]].<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental'', p. 43</ref>

-==Tactics==
-Unknown.
-==Composition==
-CAAN regiments were formed from a mixture of BattleMechs, tanks, hovercraft, fighters, and blue-water warships<ref name="SLp133">''The Star League'', p. 133</ref>. Due to their specialized mission they were the only SLDF commands with organic blue-water naval assets and had several units specifically designed for them:
-* [[BattleMech Landing Craft]]<ref name="TRO:IRp12+>''Technical Readout: Irregulars'', pp. 12–13: "BattleMech Landing Craft"</ref>
-* [[Manta|Manta Fast Attack Sub]]<ref name="TRO:3085Sp18+">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', pp. 18–19: "Manta and Moray Attack Subs"</ref>
-* [[Moray|Moray Heavy Attack Sub]]<ref name="TRO:3085Sp18+"/>
-:{{seealso|Uniforms of the SLDF}}
-===Planned equipment===
-The CAAN Regiments were among the SLDF units slated to receive the LRRP (Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol) version of the [[Beagle (Combat Vehicle)#Variants|Beagle Hover Scout]], pending successful trials by the SLDF on [[New Earth]]. However this was derailed by the [[Amaris Civil War|Amaris Coup]], with the few examples that had been built to date for testing and trials being destroyed while aiding in the defense of the planet against Amaris' [[Rim Worlds Army#Star League Era|invading forces]]. In addition, Royal CAAN regiments, as with other [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions|Royal SLDF units and formations]], had been also due to receive examples of the [[Nighthawk#Variants|''Nighthawk'' Mk. XXII]] [[Power Armor (Light)|PA(L)]] but again this plan was frustrated by the coup and subsequent civil war.{{cn}}
