The Forty-fourth's insignia was an Oriental dragon drawn in more crude style compared to the one featured in the [[House Kurita]] crest. When on parade, the Forty-fourth also carried its insignia depicted in gold on a white banner.<ref name=FM:DCp57>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 57 - 44th Dieron Regulars</ref> ==History== The Forty-fourth Dieron were formed in [[3056]] when the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] [[Bureau of Substitution]] detached two green battalions from the [[12th Dieron Regulars]] and authorized their expansion to regimental strength. The new regiment's CO ''[[Tai-sa]]'' Brian Quick provided his new unit with both its nickname of the ''Crusaders of Dieron'' as well as its regimental insignia as a means to quickly focus the hearts and minds of his troops on the glory of Forty-fourth. ''Tai-sa'' Quick configured the Forty-fourth differently from most DCMS commanders, segregating his unit by weight to a much greater extent than the norm, with First [[Battalion]] consisting primarily of assault weight machines with only a few fast mediums scouting, while his Second and Third Battalions were mostly light 'Mechs with only a few heavies for support. <ref name=FM:DCp57/> Unfortunately the Forty-fourth Dieron Regulars' first major combat action was also its last, utterly destroyed by the [[8th Bear Cuirassiers (Clan Ghost Bear)|8th Bear Cuirassiers]] on [[Najha]]. <ref name=FMU-107>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 107 "Draconis Combine - Dieron Regulars"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 44th Dieron Regulars''' |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Brian Quick]]||[[3059]]<ref name=FM:DCp57/> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Kenta Fukuyama]]||[[3133]]<ref name="DATP:Vp8">''Dark Age Turning Points: Vega'', p. 8, "Forty-fourth Dieron Regulars"</ref> |} ==Tactics== The Forty-fourth's primary tactic was to use its heavy-weight First Battalion to anchor the middle of its battle line with each of its two lighter battalions on its flanks, using them to both draw off and entangle its opponents as its heavier force served as the anvil. When operating separately, each battalion employed similar tactics on a smaller scale as well. The Forty-fourth preferred to use its infantry to purely counter enemy infantry assets and keeping communication lines open during battle. Its armor elements were deployed early, but not committed until the Forty-fourth's BattleMech forces had divided an enemy force.<ref name=FM:DCp57/> ==Composition History== ===3059=== '''44th Dieron Regulars''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Green/Reliable)<ref name=FM:DCp57/> * CO/1st [[Battalion]]: ''Tai-sa'' Brian Quick * XO: ''[[Chu-sa]]'' Nicole Lindsey * 2nd Battalion: ''Chu-sa'' Hohiro Saragosi * 3rd Battalion: ''Chu-sa'' Louis McGill '''44th Dieron Regulars Aerospace''' (1 [[Wing]]/Green/Reliable)<ref name=FM:DCp57/> * Wing Commander: ''[[Sho-sa]]'' Wayne Gabriel [[2nd Ashio Armored]] (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name=FM:DCp57/> * Armor Commander: ''Tai-sa'' Richard Smith - Attached Armor support [[43rd Pesht Reconnaissance]] (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name=FM:DCp57/> * Troop Commander: ''Tai-sa'' Michel Hunter - Attached Infantry support ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: Draconis Combine]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' [[Category:Draconis Combine Commands|Dieron Regulars, 44th]]
