Civil War
The homeworld of the 11th Avalon Hussars was Brockway. During the FedCom Civil War they fought for Katherine Steiner-Davion. In late 3062 and early 3063, they fought against the Lexington Combat Group on Brockway, suffering heavy losses. The 11th Hussars outnumbered the Lexington Combat Group, but the LCG used their superior maneuverability to keep the 11th off-balance.[3] After losing approximately 50% of their forces (and inflicting similar losses on the Lexington Combat Group) the 11th retreated to Ridgebrook.[4] They remained on Ridgebrook until 3065, when the 11th Avalon Hussars, Ridgebrook CMM and the 4th Donegal Guards attacked New Syrtis. In an attempt to win the war quickly, the 11th's battle armor unit tried to destroy the defender's headquarters. This attack failed, and shortly after this the 11th's headquarters was destroyed in an attack by the 8th Syrtis Fusiliers and the Vanguard Legion.[5] After losing command cohesion, the 11th as a unit pretty much ceased to exist. The surviving 11th Hussars were attached to the 4th Donegal Guards and they held the Kathil CMM in place while the 4th Donegal attacked the militia unit from both sides. This attack heavily damaged the CMM, but also destroyed the 11th Hussars. The individual survivors were integrated into the 4th Donegal Guards.[6] Due to their heavy losses and support of Katherine, the 11th Avalon Hussars RCT was deactivated after the FedCom Civil War.[7]
Officers
In 3025 the commanding officer is Marshal Walther Gothard.[8]
As of 3062 the commanding officer was Hauptmann General Justin Leabo.[9]
Tactics
The 11th had three battalions of light and medium BattleMechs, supported by a fourth battalion of heavy and assault designs. Typically the first three battalions would engage in lightning strikes, drawing enemy forces toward the fourth battalion who would use their massive firepower to smash enemy forces.[9]
