Confederation Reserve Cavalry

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The early history of the Capellan Reserve Cavalry is somewhat of a mystery. As of 3025 there were five regiments of various strengths listed[1] but Hurloc's Hussars is listed as being formed as the 7th Confederation Reserve Cavalry. [2]

Whether or not the other regiments initially had other designation is unknown. Only two regiments survived the Fourth Succession War [3] although it is also stated that there were originally five regiments, not seven.

History

Fourth Succession War

In the reorganization after the Fourth Succession War the Reserve Cavalry became mobile forces stationed in one commonality and rotated between planets. Even then they occasionally transferred from one commonality to another.[3][4]

Xin Sheng

Rebuild from the ashes and fielding 5 regiments the units had the opportunity to developed strategies and could familiarize themselves with the planets they defended. The exchange of information and experiences have improved the skills of the units too. They field a other indirect role also, because the commands receive their orders from the strategios and not the local jiang-jun.

In the recent conflict with the former St. Ives they proved their worth in face of enemies with equal skills.

Jihad

During the Jihad the reserve forces took a significantly larger role in aggressive action and uniformly brought honor to the regimental colors although the Second was destroyed. The surviving Confederation Reserve Cavalry units then took up garrison stations across the Confederation.[5]

The regiments are supported by at least 6 companies of tanks, but have fewer infantry as common. The aerospace fighters provide minimal security in the field because of their few numbers. Augmented Lances are not unusual in and provide the CO with some flexibility.
