==History==
 
===Formation===
 
The unit was formed from former Davion mercenaries, which shared a deep hated for their ex-employer. The command was founded as part of the St. Ives Armored Cavalry in 3005<ref name=hl89>House Liao p.89</ref>. The hatred goes so far that no prisoner were taken and all captured soldiers executed on the field. These war crimes in conjunction with other atrocities lead to a price for their heads. A sad example for the gruel are a raid in 3014, where a Davion mercenary command, Morcock's Crusher, assaulted St. Ives. The Defenders, the Armored Infantry and Wilson Hussars, captured many soldiers alive, but they were killed by the commander of the Infantry himself.

During the [[Jihad]] Devon's Armored Infantry was denied a place in [[Operation Thunderstrike]]. Instead throughout the Jihad the unit rotated between the factories on [[Warlock]] and reinforcing troops on [[Denbar]] and [[Nashuar]]. This changed in [[3077]] when the Armored Infantry landed on [[Zurich]] as part of the [[CCAF]] assault. They were still on Zurich in [[3079]].<ref name=frcc19>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 19</ref>
