Along with the [[First Avalon Hussars]], they were the first [[AFFS|Federated Suns military unit]] to field BattleMechs. Thanks to their prestigious reputation, the Brigade was able to draw on the best candidates for its manpower, often selecting the top of each academy class for assignment to the unit. When the [[Star League]] first formed, every brigade within the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] contributed manpower or complete units to the nascent [[Star League Defense Force]] - with the exception of the Brigade of Guards. Such was the Brigade's collective loyalty to the Federated Suns and to House Davion that none of the personnel within the Brigade were even approached to join the [[SLDF]]. When the Star League Council enacted the [[Council Edict of 2650]], mandating the drawdown of each of the Great House's military, the Brigade was the only unit in the [[AFFS]] to escape untouched - not a single unit was deactivated.<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/> + The Davion Brigade of Guards continued to grow in importance as time passed, occupying a prominant role in the Federated Suns military; the [[First Davion Guards]] joined the [[First Avalon Hussars]] as the first units within the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] to receive [[BattleMech]]s, and the Brigade was able to draw on the best candidates for its manpower.

During the Star League era the Brigade continued to enjoy access to the best recruits, the best equipment, and attracted many veterans mustering out from their time in the SLDF. By [[2765]], the Brigade was effectively the same size and strength of an SLDF [[Corps]], a size which it had achieved even before the [[Reunification War]].
