History

The 3rd Ceti Hussars RCT were part of the Ceti Hussars brigade, formed with the purpose of conducting short raids.[citation needed]

Formation

Like the other Ceti Hussars units, the Third Ceti Hussars were formed from SLDF troops who preferred to remain in the Inner Sphere. The Third was originally formed from members of the SLDF's 199th Dragoon Regiment, 396th Dragoon Regiment, and 250th BattleMech Division.[1]


As of 3025, the 3rd Hussars were based on Immenstadt in the Capellan March.[2]

Operation Guerrero

Operation Bulldog


Civil War

As of 3062, the homeworld of the 3rd Ceti Hussars RCT was Manapire. During the FedCom Civil War the Third Hussars didn't participate in Operation: Sovereign Justice. In fact they remained out of the Civil War fighting completely. This put them in the perfect place to defend the Capellan March when it was attacked by Taurian Concordat forces. Leading a task force that consisted of themselves and the Lexington Combat Group, the Third Ceti Hussars destroyed the Red Chasseurs and 2nd Taurian Lancers on Bromhead. They then went on to Midale and forced the Concordat Commandos to retreat. On Lindsay they destroyed the Pleiades Lancers, and then relocated to Brockway where they smashed the Hyades Light Infantry.[3] After that the Third continued to hold Brockway for the Federated Suns.[4]

The entire RCT breaks into smaller subunits at battalion level and above with the goal to give an enemy too many targets and overwhelm him with sheer numbers.[1]
