The Second Freemen was a unit of the Kungsarme which was heavily damaged during the Clan Invasion. They were later rebuilt and
History
Like the 1st Freeman the 2nd command has its roots in smaller units from borderworld, but they saw no fighting during the Ronin Wars.
During Operation Revival the regiment was stationed on Hainfeld. The world was defended by a large garrison force, which lacked sufficient air defense capabilities. The assaulting Wolf Clan task force (Green Keshik, Nega and Dorbeng Garrison Clusters) made a night combat drop at the capital. The Freeman retreated off-world to avoid damage to the civilian infrastructure.[1]
Both sides meets again on Carse in February 3052. The invaders (Red Keshik, 11th Wolf Guards, 37th Striker Cluster) landed far away from all important objectives. The CO of the Freeman used his scouts and set a series of engagements. The bad weather conditions hampered the Clan, preventing the use of its AeroSpace fighters. The Second inflicted serious damage on several Wolf Clan units before withdrawing to Ueda.[2]
After the Truce of Tukayyid the Kungsarme shipped a great deal of equipment to the Second Freemen, hoping to put more effective weapons in the hands of soldiers who could use it.[3]
Officers
In 3050 the commanding officer of the unit was Overste Rhett Weaver.[4] He was still in command in 3062.[3]
Tactics
The Second Freemen specialized in anti-Clan tactics. They were experts at ambushes, concentrated artillery strikes, and concentrating their fire on individual Clan warriors.[3]
