===Formation===
Formed on Spencer after the [[Bloody Tricentennial]] attacks, the Second Fronc Cuirassiers were founded to increase the number of defensive units available to the Fronc Reaches. Unlike the First Cuirassiers, the Second had several officers who had visited the [[Filtvelt Coalition]] and graduated from the [[Filtvelt Academy]]. These officers were highly skilled in the anti-[[pirate]] tactics that had worked for the Filtvelt Coalition, but lacked the '[[Mech]]s to put them into practice. However, the unit had two [[Combat Vehicle|vehicles]] for every 'Mech, which was hoped to offset the lack of 'Mechs.<ref name=fm3085-147>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 147</ref>

During the [[Dark Age]] the Second Cuirassiers divided its non-BattleMech forces into small, independent units that could operate alone for extended periods of time; the only formation to be kept intact were the BattleMech forces, which were then used as a hammer to break Mech-centric formations of hostile forces attacking or raiding the worlds the Second were deployed across.<ref name="FM:3145p199">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 199, "Fronc Reaches"</ref>

At this point in time the Second were deployed across [[Herotitus]] and [[Rockwellawan]]. The Second was close to full strength - the Air Wing was operating at eighty-five percent of full strength, and the BattleMech and armor regiments at ninety-percent of full strength - but the infantry regiment was actually overstrength, operating at one hundred and five percent of normal strength.<ref name="FM:3145p203"/>
