History

Formation


Anton's Revolt


4th Succession War


Andurien Secession

Attacked Lopez with the First Free Worlds Guards and the Thirtieth Marik Militia in 3038, where they wore down the heavier 6th Defenders of Andurien with raids, prompting the rebel unit to surrender in October of that year when combined losses made further effective resistance impossible. The effort also cost the Fourth much of its strength, and they spent the rest of the war guarding a supply base on Deschenes.[1]

Operation Guerrero

Took Wasat in conjunction with the Thirteenth Marik Militia, Second Sirian Lancers and the mercenary Twenty-first Centauri Lancers.[1]

Operation Bulldog


Jihad

The Jihad saw the Fourth Hussars come through with relatively light losses. After pledging their support to the Duchy of Oriente, they restricted their activities to raids and avoiding the heavy fighting. As a result they form the core of the Duchy's defense in the post-Jihad era. In 3079 they were posted on Maritgues.[2]

Officers

In 3025 the unit is commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Geddy Carver.[3]

As of 3050 to 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel Sherrie Dragoo.[4][1]

Tactics

This regiment use bad enviroment conditions as cover for the mobile fighting style in their light machines.[1]
