=== Star League Era ===
During the [[Star League era]] the '''Sixteenth Avalon Hussars''' were known for being able to load into their [[DropShip]]s in considerably less time than the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] average - sometimes managing to load in just a third of the time another [[regiment]] would take. This was a result of the extensive training the Hussars undertook alongside their DropShip crews; the Sixteenth were also known for specializing at making orbital insertions and excelling at launching rapid strikes against enemy targets.<ref name="FR:FS2765p8">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 8: "Avalon Hussars"</ref>
