The Second Andurien Rangers were formed from the 5th Free Worlds Legionnaires during the Jihad.[1]

History

Shortly after the Second Andurien Rangers were formed they served as the cadre unit for several other Andurien commands. They also raided Furud, where they returned Naomi Centrella-Liao to the Capellan Confederation. Their actions helped insure peace along the Andurien/Confederation border. 3079 found the Second Rangers split into two battalion sized formations, one garrisoning Shiro III and the other Conquista.[1]

Despite serving the Duchy of Andurien faithfully for more than a decade, the Andurien press expressed concerns that the Colonel may inadvertently leak defense secrets to the Duchy of Oriente after its merger with the Duchy of Orloff. The troops of the Second Rangers vocally defended their commander, to the point of threatening to resign en masse if the Colonel was replaced. The ADF command structure is working on a solution, but things remain tense in 3085.[2]

In 3085 both battalions had come back together and were garrisoning Lurgatan.[3]

Officers

As of 3085, the commanding officer was Colonel Salvatore "Misha" Orloff.[3]

Tactics

The Second Andurien Rangers use many of the same tactics they used from their time as the Fifth Free Worlds Legionnaires.
