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]
By 3145 the Second Rangers were known to have performed better than any other Andurien Ranger unit, both offensively and on the defense. They were so highly skilled that they acted as a bodyguard unit for Duke Humphreys and performed honor guard duties for visiting dignitaries from the Magistracy of Canopus and the Capellan Confederation.[4] These duties made them part of the Andurien garrison force.[5]
Officers
As of 3085, the commanding officer was Colonel Salvatore "Misha" Orloff.[3]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Colonel Darron O'Donnel.[5]
Tactics
The Second Andurien Rangers use many of the same tactics they used from their time as the Fifth Free Worlds Legionnaires.
