One of the newer Dieron Regular regiments formed in the wake of the Clan Invasion, the 44th Dieron Regulars were destroyed during their first major combat action during the Combine-Ghost Bear War.
The 44th's insignia was an Oriental dragon drawn in more crude style compared to the one featured in the House Kurita crest. When on parade, the 44th also carried its insignia depicted in gold on a white banner.[1]
History
The 44th Dieron were formed in 3056 when the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery Bureau of Substitution detached two green battalions from the 12th Dieron Regulars and authorised their expansion to regimental strength. The new regiment's CO Tai-sa Brian Quick provided his new unit with both its nickname of the Crusaders of Dieron as well as it regimental insignia as a means to quickly focus the hearts and minds of his troops on the glory of 44th. Tai-sa Quick configured the 44th differently from most DCMS commanders, segregating his unit by weight to a much greater extent than the norm, with First Battalion consisting primarily of assault weight machines with only a few fast mediums scouting, while his Second and Third Battalions were mostly light 'Mechs with only a few heavies for support. [1]
Unfortunately the 44th Dieron Regulars' first major combat action was also its last, utterly destroyed by the 8th Bear Cuirassiers on Najha. [2]
Officers
In 3059 the commander of the green 44th Dieron Regulars was Tai-sa Brian Quick.[1]
Tactics
The 44th's primary tactic was to use its heavy-weight First Battalion to anchor the middle of its battle line with each of its two lighter battalions on its flanks, using them to both draw off and entangle its opponents as its heavier force served as the anvil. When operating separately, each battalion employed similar tactics on a smaller scale as well. The 44th preferred to use its infantry to purely counter enemy infantry assets and keeping communication lines open during battle. Its armor elements were deployed early, but not committed until the 44th's BattleMech forces had divided an enemy force.[1]
