Sarna News
Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Third Benjamin Regulars is an assault BattleMech regiment in the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery. The Third Regulars' regimental insignia is a ring of stars, the topmost one very bright. These stars represent Benjamin's sun and the twenty artificial "semi-suns" that surround the planet. [1]
History
As of 3025 the 3rd Benjamin Regulars were primarily assigned to bolster the defense of the important world of Irurzun along side the 6th Benjamin Regulars and three Infantry regiments. [2] During this time the Third also participated in the Galtor campaign[3]
During the Fourth Succession War, the Third was assigned with the the Sixth Benjamin Regulars and twenty infantry and tank regiments to attack the 1st Chisholm's Raiders RCT on Deshler. [4] While the Raiders consistently outmaneuvered the invaders, the Kurita taskforce had superior numbers, slowly but progressively wearing the Davion unit down. When the Combine offensive swept past Deshler the AFFS attempted to pull their unit out, but the Chisholm Raiders chose to stay and fight, tying up the Combine units for months before being effectively destroyed. [5]
Kentares Counterstrike
The Third Benjamin Regulars were assigned the honor of capturing Kentares IV during the DCMS Reprisal against Duke James Sandoval's attempted invasion of the Draconis Combine in 3065. On January 23, 3065, the Regulars landed on Kentares and immediately engaged Duke Ian Dresari and his Kentares DMM in battle. Although Ian and the DMM were determined to hold off the Regulars, the DMM was heavily outnumbered and outgunned.
Salvation for Duke Ian and the DMM came in the form of the pro-Victor Tenth Lyran Guards, who were enroute to the planet Tikonov to assist Prince Victor, but were forced to make an unscheduled stop in the Kentares system due to the sabotage of their JumpShips. Marshal James McFarland, commander of the tenth, decided to assist the beleaguered Duke Ian. A week later, the surviving Third Benjamin Regulars were forced to surrender and were imprisoned on Kentares.
Officers
During 3025 the Commanding Officer of the Third was Brigadier General Jakodo Naguchido.
