Known for their prowess against border raiders, the Falcons' luck ran out on Dubhe in 3049 when they were reduced to Battalion size by the Seventeenth Arcturan Guards RCT. After rebuilding, the unit did not see action again until Operation Guerrero.[1]

Operation Guerrero

The Falcons liberated Callison as part of a Task Force in 3057.[1]

Jihad


Officers

In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Michael Cameron-Witherspoon.[2]

As of 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel Glendon Lorch, the son-in-law of the former Falcons' Commander, Colonel Diego Cameron-Witherspoon.[1]

Tactics

The light equipment is best used during fast battles and the officers at company level and above have the authority to act on their own when the situation is created.[1]
