The biggest change was the expansion of each regiment to a strength of four [[battalion]]s, rather than the standard three. Of those four battalions, one was intended to be a purely-BattleMech equipped force. The remaining three battalions were combined-arms units at a company level; each company of three lances was formed from one BattleMech lance, one vehicle lance, and one infantry lance. The infantry lance was intended to be equipped with [[battle armor]], but as the Duchy lacked native production lines for battle armor, many of the units weren't equipped as such. Those units that could muster battle armor were usually equipped with imported [[Longinus]] and [[Theseus]] battlesuits.<ref name="J:FRp91"/>

In [[3085]], the formation of the Fifth Rangers and the creation of the [[1st Andurien Guards|First Andurien Guards]] prevented the rest of the Andurien Rangers from expanding to the planned seventy-two BattleMechs. The First through Fourth Rangers therefore only fielded a battalion's worth of BattleMechs.<ref name="FM:3085p79+"/>

Elements of the Andurien Rangers raided the [[Capellan Confederation]] world of [[Altorra]]. They faced a Home Guard battalion of heavy armor outside a city named Tepali. They took some losses from airstrikes by conventional aircraft, but were able to lay siege to the city. The Rangers only withdrew when the [[CCAF]] sent reinforcements to Altorra.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 48, "Saroyan Jump Bomer"</ref>
