The '''Genyosha''' regiments are two of the pinnacle units in the [[DCMS]].
 
  
==Overview==
+
<onlyinclude>
The Genyosha are Dragon's elite fanatical shock troops, a floating command, answerable only to the Coordinator, their loyalty is unquestioned, they are thinkers as well as fighters, they are the embodiment of ''iemoto'' [[Yorinaga Kurita]]. The Genyosha are on the same tier of status as both the [[Second Sword of Light]] and the [[Hikage]]. Their victories span from Terra to the Clan Homeworlds. Two Coordinators—[[Theodore Kurita]] and [[Hohiro Kurita (31st c.)|Hohiro Kurita]]—have led or commanded the Genyosha. When Theodore Kurita became ''Gunji-no-Kanrei'', the Genyosha changed from a pure 'Mech regiment a more flexiable combined-arms regiment. The Genyosha have fought on Luthien, both times to save the Combine from both Clan and traitor forces. The Genyosha are one of the few units able to stockpile battlefield salvage, they are a top priority for replacements, and can hand pick soldiers from other units. Finally, they are also one of the most C3-equipped units in the DCMS.
+
The '''Genyosha''' was originally formed in [[3027]] by order of Coordinator [[Takashi Kurita]] by his cousin and excellent military commander [[Yorinaga Kurita]], to become an elite military formation that answers only to the Coordinator himself. The unit was principally created as a counter to the highly mobile mercenary unit known as the [[Kell Hounds]], whom had disgraced Yorinaga on Mallory's World. The unit has been among most elite military forces in the Combine, being lead by future Coordinator [[Hohiro Kurita]] during the [[Clan War]] and fought in the [[Great Refusal]].
  
 
The formation grew between the [[Fourth Succession War]] and the [[Clan Invasion]] to two Regiments.

==History==
 
==History==
In [[3013]], [[Takashi Kurita]] was the Commander of the [[Second Sword of Light]] when the Second Sword attacked [[Mallory's World]]. Yorinaga was the Commander of the Second Battalion under Takashi. The Federated Suns would lose its First Prince, [[Ian Davion]] however the Second Sword of Light would retreat off world after the famous duel between Yorinaga and [[Morgan Kell]], and Takashi being denied the prize of Ian Davion's body. Both Morgan and Yorinaga would retreat to monasteries. The "Genyosha" - the Black Ocean, was formed on 1 January 3027 when now Coordinator Takashi Kurita sent Jiro Ishiyama to [[Echo]] directing Yorinaga to form the elite unit. Yorinaga would be able to pick fifty men, one for each year of his age, who would then train fifty men until all of those in the Genyosha would have the same heart and mind as Yorinaga. The Genyosha would have no superior except the Coordinator. The Coordinator of the Draconis Combine's first mission for Yorinaga and the Genyosha was the "utter destruction of the Kell Hounds."
 
  
Upon their formation the Genyosha reported directly to the Coordinator. They later reported directly to ''[[Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]].<ref>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 48</ref>
+
Yorinaga Kurita chose fifty elite warriors from across the [[DCMS]] to form the core of the Genyosha. These warriors were trained not only in combat skills, but tested to ensure that they understood the value of determination, self-sacrifice, and dedication to duty. These values became core beliefs for these early Genyosha warriors, and they in turn passed them on to the newer members of the unit. After a few years, an elite unit was born, and regarded by the DCMS High Command as the equal of the [[2nd Sword of Light]].<ref>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 29</ref>
  
Both elite Genyosha regiments proved their worth time and time again throughout the [[Clan Invasion]], with the First bringing the Combine two major victories: the [[Battle of Wolcott|Battles of Wolcott]] and [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Luthien]]. While aiding the fight on Luthien, the Second was not so lucky: by the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] only a battalion survived, with ''Tai-sa'' [[Narimasa_Asano|Asano]] recommending the unit be temporarily retired so it could be carefully rebuilt to ensure its elite status was not diluted. The reborn Second returned to active service in June [[3057]].
