History
= Star League Era
During the Star League era the Twelfth Galedon Regulars shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Galedon Regulars, due to the threat posed by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. This common structure saw the Twelfth assigned a swathe of conventional regiments for support - five armour regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced aerospace fighter wing. Second only to the Sword of Light regiments in priority, the various Galedon Regular regiments had excellent levels of supplies, and a high level of access to new BattleMechs and equipment.[1]
Third Succession War
In early 2930, both the Twelfth Galedon Regulars and the Seventeenth Galedon Regulars bore the brunt of a major Davion offensive against Xhosa VII. Under the command of Brigadier General Samson Sakamoto, both regiments fought with valor but were severely mauled by the attacking forces. The Twelfth has always preferred speed to firepower, even as the DCMS moved away from lightweight regiments. During the Succession Wars, the Twelfth was often divided up into its component battalions and companies and attached to other units as a scout force.[citation needed]
Fourth Succession War
On September 17 3028 the Twelfth landed on Wapakoneta alongside the 3rd Proserpina Hussars Regiment. They faced the 3rd Provisional Company of Wolf's Dragoon's Beta Regiment. The Third Provisional company was able to destroy the AeroSpace base established by the Combine units, but was destroyed in the process.[2][3] Later the Twelfth fought the 2nd Provisional Company of Delta Regiment, but the Dragoon unit withdrew to Crossing after inflicting heavy losses on the Combine unit.[4] This left control of the planet to the Combine after nine months of fighting.[5]
The Twelfth was rebuilt with new recruits and joined the 8th Galedon Regulars, 5th Galedon Regulars, and 16th Galedon Regulars to assault Crossing. The Twelfth attacked the east face of a caldera where the Dragoons had set up their base, but were repelled. After fighting for several days, the Regulars were repelled when the assault units of Zeta Battalion arrived.[6]

The Twelfth Galedon Regulars, along with Ryuken-go, forced the 17th Avalon Hussars off of Matsuida. They then pursued the Hussars to An Ting, where they avenged the Hussars' destruction of the 2nd Galedon Regulars by inflicting heavy losses on the Hussars. The Twelfth then served as part of the assault force that took Kesai IV.[7] They formed the Kesai IV garrison in 3067.[8]

Officers
Between 3025 and 3028 the commanding officer was Sho-sho Tarsus Bodoli. He was promoted later to the rank of General.[9][5]
Tai-sa Oscar Bassman was the commanding officer starting in 3050 and serving until 3054.[10][11]
From 3059 to 3067, the commanding officer was Tai-sa Jerome Wolf-Hunter.[12] [8]
Tactics
Star League Era
Due to the high number of Sun Zhang Military Academy and Galedon Military Academy recruits within the Galedon Regulars, the Regulars often displayed fanatical loyalty and courage. However, the elitism displayed by these same recruits led to poor coordination between the Regulars and the attached convention forces, who were often used as cannon fodder.[1]
Clan Invasion
The Twelfth makes efficient use of intelligence gathered by its scout units. The regiment has become adept at attacking from unexpected directions and in ambush tactics.[12]
