Tactics[edit]
The Mechanized Infantry divisions of the Star League were used offensively to exploit gaps in the enemy front created by the BattleMech divisions. They also bore the brunt of defensive actions of which the 233rd was particularly adept. In the 2760s the division had supplied countless garrisons specialist advice on defensive positions.[2]
Composition History[edit]
The division comprised two brigades of Mechanized Infantry and a single BattleMech brigade. Also attached was a Ground Aero Wing.[3]
