'''Bullard's Armored Cavalry''' was a [[mercenary]] unit led by [[Colonel]] [[Frank Bullard]] that lasted until the [[Jihad]]. {{infoBoxMercUnit | image = [[Image:Bullardsarmoredcavalry.jpg|150px]] | unitname = Bullard's Armored Cavalry | year = 3067 | commander = Colonel Frank Bullard | disbanded = 3076<ref name="M&Mp224">''Masters & Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 224, "Word of Blake Mercenary Employment"</ref> | jumpships = no | dropships = yes | aero = no | armor = yes | infantry = yes }} ==History== The unit stayed for most in of its existence in [[CCAF]] employment. In [[2987]] they invaded [[Aosia]] and captured a huge amount of gold. In [[3027]] the mercenaries assaulted [[Federated Suns]] again, but this time to get money from the FedSun troops. The unit was stationed on [[Caph|Caph V]] and fought for their own goals. [[3058]] was the last time for such opportunistic actions. One company commander ([[Gary Larsen]]) split from their parent formation and left the [[Inner Sphere]] for the [[Periphery]] and formed [[Larsen's Loners]]. This internal fight left the command shattered and only a new contract could save it. ===Jihad=== The command made a new contract with the [[Circinus Federation]] which was backed by the [[Word of Blake]] and was aimed against the [[Marian Hegemony]].<ref name=FM:MRp51>''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 51</ref> In [[3072]] Bullard's Armored Cavalry landed on [[Galatea]] alongside the [[11th Division (Word of Blake)|11th Division]] and [[47th Shadow Division]].
