The Ceti Hussars are a group of units that were created specifically for short raids. Though successful, the experiment was almost abandoned. At the outset of the Amaris Civil War, the units' value became clear, and its ranks were bolstered with former Star League Defense Force soldiers that did not follow Aleksandr Kerensky into the Deep Periphery. The Ceti Hussars' tactics and regimental combat team organization proved its value, especially during the the Third Succession War. Each Hussar Regiment is divided into three small units each centered around a BattleMech Battalion.
When the Light Combat Team concept was introduced after the Jihad the AFFS High Command used the tactics developed by the Ceti Hussars as the training doctrine for the new units.[1]

History
During the Jihad the First Ceti Hussars lost nearly 90% of their forces at Rio. The survivors joined the Princess-Regent as part of her defense routine. The Third Ceti Hussars were driven off of Taygeta during Operation Thunderstrike, taking heavy losses. They moved to New Syrtis to defend that world, and the brutal house to house fighting further depleted their numbers, particularly in the command staff. The Third's survivors were rolled into the Second Ceti Hussars to make up combat losses in that organization. The First and Third were deactivated until replacement troops were available.[1]
The Hussars were highly regarded by the St. Ives Compact. They were used as the model for the St. Ives Janissaries.[2]
After rebuilding, most of the Ceti Hussar regiments participated in Operation MATADOR.[3] In 3085 the Ceti Hussars were organized as Light Combat Teams.[4]
