Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The 5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry is a reserve regiment of the Capellan Confederation that, like its sister units, spends most of its time rotating between home worlds in a defensive posture. It was initially stationed on Tsinghai and Larsha.[1] The unit fought in defense of Tsinghai in the Seventh Wave of the Fourth Succession War,[2] fought a winter conflict on Warlock during the Capellan-St. Ives War,[3] and battled pirates on Muridox.[4]
Contents
History
Fourth Succession War
The 5th Reserve was originally stationed at battalion strength in 3025 on Tsinghai and Larsha although there were not present for the Fifth Wave attack by the Davion Heavy Guard[5] in 3029.
Later they did defend the world at battalion strength during the Seventh Wave along with a battalion of Preston's Lancers. In that battle the 20th Avalon Hussars and two regiments of the 12th Vegan Rangers landed on the planet with a large numerical advantage. The 5th Reserve managed to battle their way to their dropships and escape losing only half their number.[2]
Xin Sheng Campaign
At some point during the war the 5th Reserve faced off against the 1st Janissaries on either Warlock or Tantara as conflicting accounts of the location exist.[4][6] Warlock is an arctic planet[7] therefore it is likely that it is the correct site for the battle. After heavy fighting the 5th Reserve retreated to await reinforcements but regained the initiative when joined by a regiment of McCarron's Armored Cavalry.
In 3064 the 5th Reserve faced pirates while on regular rotation to Zanzibar. A green battalion of the unit met two battalions under pirate Major Kerry Wung and handily defeated them using combined armed tactics.[4]
Jihad
During the opening part of the Jihad the Fifth CRC was part of the Capellan counterattack after Operation: Sovereign Justice. They landed on Imalda and faced the Illician Lancers. After defeating the Lancers, they moved on to New Westin, where they defeated the Jie Fang Legion. The fighting took a heavy toll on the Fifth, and they redeployed to new garrison stations on Foot Fall, Mandate, and Remshield after returning to Capellan space.[8]
Officers
As of 3067 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Rhi Song.
Tactics
During the fight on Warlock, the 5th Reserve placed hidden infantry units on the field of battle which revealed themselves at the height of the main attack and hit the distracted enemy from an unexpected quarter.[3]
