Fresh from battles in a nuclear war zone where the Cháng-Chéng were heavily involved in some of the deadliest combat of the Jihad, the everyman character of the Cháng-Chéng attracted the media. Being more accessible and easier to identify with for the average Capellan than the elite [[Red Lancers]] or [[Death Commandos]] has made the Cháng-Chéng popular heroes for their part in defending the heart of the Confederation from the [[Word of Blake]].<ref name="J:FRp100">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 100, "Liao Cháng-Chéng"</ref> To rebuild, the Liao Cháng-Chéng regiments were rotated out of the Liao Commonality and sent to the Capellan Confederation/Duchy of Andurien Border.

Dubbed the [[Capellan Crusades]] ([[3111]]-[[3113]]), it ended with all three units taking heavy damage but still combat effective. Following the Capellan Crusades, several brigades were restructured in response to some flaws found in current doctrine. One of these changes involved new unit designations.

The normal composition includes a large concentration of light 'Mechs, medium machines as cornerstones and heavies as the steamhammers of the command. The shift to the lighter-weight 'Mech designs influences the tactics and fighting style of all LLC regiments. == Units of the Liao Cháng-Chéng== *[[1st Liao Hussars]] also known as ''[[Phyr's Hussars]]'' *[[2nd Liao Hussars]] also known as ''[[Syn's Hussars]]'' *[[1st Liao Dragoons]] also known as ''[[Renshield's Dragoons]]'' *[[2nd Liao Dragoons]] added sometime after 3113 *[[1st Liao Grenadiers]] also known as ''[[Vong's Grenadiers]]'' ==Former Units of the Liao Cháng-Chéng== * ''[[Sarna Martial Academy Cadre]]'' - Assigned to LCC in 3085. Reassigned sometime after 3113. ==Colors and Unit Insignia== Each unit is named after the current commander and this fact gives the command continuity through the time. The Liao Cháng-Chéng sometimes uses appropriate camoflage in a three-color pattern. They use the Confederation crest backed by a green field as their insignia aside from a regimental emblem. <gallery> Lcckamakurashussars.png|[[Kamakura's Hussars]] First Liao Dragoons logo.png|[[1st Liao Dragoons|Renshield's Dragoons]] Lccvonggrenadiers.png|[[Vong's Grenadiers]] Lccsynshussars.png|[[Syn's Hussars]] </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Capellan Confederation]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Report: CCAF]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[The Killing Fields]]'' * ''[[Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades]]'' [[Category:Capellan Confederation Commands]]
