With the Dieron Military District closest to Terra, the well respected Dieron Regulars frequently see action against both the Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns and boast more 'Mech regiments than any other military district.

History
In 2316 the Dieron Federation joined the Terran Hegemony. Despite this, there were enough citizens of the former Dieron Federation who wanted to join the Draconis Combine for the Combine to form the Dieron Regulars. The members of the Dieron Regulars were called "exiles waiting for the chance to go home." They frequently toured the Hegemony/Combine border, and as a result their senior officers were extensively trained in diplomacy.[1] In the Star League Era the Dieron Regulars had their own academy, the Dieron Warriors' Academy. The Academy was based on Shimonita.[2] At this time, each Dieron Regular BattleMech regiment was supported by three armor and three infantry regiments.[1]
During the Succession Wars members of the Dieron Regulars were required to know the terrain, cities, and strategic locations of every planet in the Dieron Military District. Usually well-supplied by the Department of Procurement, the Dieron Regulars were considered the best of the regular formations of the DCMS. As there was so much interaction with the LCAF and AFFS the Dieron Regulars didn't usually support other forces outside the Dieron District.[3]
The Coordinator selected Isoroku Kurita as the new warlord of the Galedon Military District in 3057. As a cousin to Theodore Kurita he was in a position where his ambitions and loyalty could be proven. The Galedon District lost many of its units to other Districts and without a sufficient force as a foundation, the new Warlord could not harm the position of Theodore. Furthermore the ISF had increased the resources allocated to keep an eye on him. [4]
During the Jihad, four regiments of the Dieron Regulars were destroyed.[5] With the formation of The Republic of the Sphere, the Dieron Military District ceased to exist. The surviving members of the Dieron Regulars were transferred to the New Samarkand Military District to become the New Samarkand Regulars.[6]
Units of the Dieron Regulars
Color Scheme and Insignia
The Dieron Regulars used whatever camouflage was appropriate to the terrain. On ceremonial occasions, they painted their machines white with golden stripes.[3]

Notes
The 46th Dieron Regulars has been declared non-canonical by CGL. The 'unit' was introduced (and only seen) in FedCom Civil War. The title was declared to be in error as to the unit's existence.[14]
Rules
Reunification War
- When generating forces from the Dieron Regulars, there is a 50% chance that each MechWarrior, pilot and vehicle crew receives a +1 bonus to the equipment roll.[15]
- When generating forces from the Dieron Regulars, there is a 25% chance that the maximum number of Advanced Components allowed per lance may be doubled.[15]
