History
Operation REVIVAL
The Third Bear Regulars were the lead unit of Theta Galaxy in 3061.
The Dark Age
The Third Bear Regulars served in Theta Galaxy throughout the Jihad, but after the Jihad the Third was transferred to Omega Galaxy in an attempt to reform Omega's behaviour. Whereas Omega had been regarded with suspicion by the rest of the Ghost Bear touman after it had originally been formed - despite having been formed from the best warriors available - the bulk of the replacement personnel assigned to Omega as it rebuilt were Rasalhagian recruits who lacked a firm grounding in the Way of Clans. Whereas Omega had always walked a tightrope in the past between the ways of honor and the dishonorable excesses of the Inner Sphere, the balance was considered to have firmly shifted towards the latter, with many Ghost Bears coming to shun Omega for what was considered to be a descent into dezgra.[1]
Assigning the Third to Omega was one of the attempts made by the Dominion Council in an attempt to check this downward slide; another was to transfer in the surviving elements of the Twenty-third Provisional Garrison Cluster as casualty replacements while Pi Galaxy was being disbanded. It was hoped that the combination of these Clan warriors plus those originally assigned to Omega Galaxy would provide a good example for the Galaxy. Unfortunately, both the Third and Twenty-third had been primarily defensive Clusters, and the transition into a front-line formation was difficult for them; as a result, Omega was moved to locations where the nearest significant enemy force was unlikely to launch an attack - the nearest enemy force being Kappa Galaxy of Clan Wolf - while also placing Omega under the watchful eye of the Dominion's Tau Galaxy.[1]
Officers
As of 3061 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Gerrard Hambash.[2] By 3085 Star Colonel Scott was in command of the Third.[3]
Tactics
In contrast to the other units of their Galaxy, the Bear Regulars also engage in offensive operations. The command is known to employ the "smash and grab" tactic. The warriors of the Cluster know their terrain well and will use their lighter units to lead the enemy into an ambush. The enemy can approach the target without a fight and at the right moment the Bear Regulars will assault from all sides simultaneously.[2]
