Just as the [[Alshain Military District]] was formed from the remaining worlds of the [[Rasalhague Military District]] not ceded to the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], the [[Alshain Regulars]] consisted of former [[Rasalhague Regulars|Rasalhague Regular]] troops. The Alshain Regulars suffered heavy losses in the [[Clan Invasion]] during their failed defense of their district, with the survivors renamed under the banner of the free floating [[Alshain Avengers]].
 
  
==History==
+
Just as the [[Alshain Military District]] was formed from the remains of the Rasalhague Military District not ceded to to the FRR, the [[Alshain Regulars]] consist of former Rasalhague Regular troops. The Alshain Regulars suffered heavy losses in the Clan Invasion during their failed defense of their district, with the survivors renamed under the banner of the free floating Alshain Avengers.
The Alshain Regulars first saw action during the [[War of 3039]], but their inexperience showed and ''[[Tai-shu]]'' [[Hassid Ricol]] was chastised for their lackluster performance. Ricol subsequently instituted an intense training regimen to whip the Regulars into shape, the program including frequent practice raids against one another and into both the Free Rasalhague Republic and [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Their persistence in raiding bore fruit, by [[3049]] the overall skill of the Alshain Regulars was far beyond the [[Pesht Regulars]] despite the young age of the brigade. Additionally, Ricol assigned some of the brigade's better [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] into a special training [[battalion]] to hone their skills, these officers intended to replace battalion and [[regiment]]al commanders when those positions open up either due to death, retirement or dismissal for incompetence. A highly unusual arrangement, the [[Internal Security Force]] monitored the battalion for any sign Ricol was attempting to plant officers personally loyal to him across the brigade's regiments.<ref name=CMK-46>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 46: "Alshain Regulars"</ref>
 
  
Caught between [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and [[Clan Ghost Bear]], the Alshain Regulars suffered heavy losses during their failed defense of their district during the invasion, selling themselves dearly and buying time for the rest of the DCMS to prepare. By the [[Truce of Tukayyid]], the fourteen regiment's worth of troops within the Alshain Regulars had been reduced to five, with three regiments so shattered that the [[Bureau of Substitution]] combined them single regiment. Hoping to capitalize on their anger at the loss of their district, the surviving remnants of the Regulars were re-formed as the Alshain Avengers.<ref name=FMDC-35>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 35: "District of Alshain"</ref> Their sole objective to retake their homeworld and drive the invaders from Combine space, the Avengers eventually staged an unauthorized invasion of Alshain which triggered the [[Combine-Ghost Bear War]] and their destruction.

Created from the surviving remnants of the Alshain Regulars, the [[Alshain Avengers]] were formed after the conquest of their military district captital [[Alshain]] by the [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. Their sole objective to retake their home world and drive the invaders from Combine space, the Avengers eventually staged an unauthorized invasion of Alshain which triggered the [[Combine-Ghost Bear War]] and their destruction.

==Notes==
 
  
* Compared to other older Regular brigades, each of the Alshain Regulars was more uniform in composition due to their focus on a specific mode of combat - for example the Eleventh was a lighter raiding force, while the Fifth specialized in stealth tactics and the Second was configured for cavalry tactics.<ref name=CMK-46/>
