With the significant drawdown of military forces in the wake of the formation of the SLDF, large quantities of military personnel - including some of the best and brightest - found themselves unemployed. Many carried on with the only skills they had, engaging in piracy and brigandage; as a result, the Star League initiated the [[United Triumph Military Exercises]] (UTEs) in [[2572]] as an attempt to deal with some of the problems.<ref name="FR:FS2765p15">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 15: "Dragonlords"</ref> − − The [[Davion Brigade of Guards]] were due to be dispatched to take part in the UTEs; as the Guards were responsible for protecting the five core Golden Worlds of the [[Federated Suns]] - [[New Avalon]], [[Argyle]], [[Belladonna]], [[El Dorado]] and [[Torrence]] - the [[House Davion|Davion clans]] on those five worlds funded the creation of five temporary garrison units, supplying them with the best and heaviest equipment and recruiting the finest of the recently-discharged veterans from the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] as manpower. These five temporary units were never disbanded, as the outbreak of the [[Reunification War]] saw the AFFS in need of trained combat formations.<ref name="FR:FS2765p15"/> − − === Reunification War === − The various [[regiment]]s of the Dragonlords were all deployed against various of the Periphery States during the Reunification War, with all of the [[brigade]] seeing heavy action. The performance of the various regiments earned them a fixed place in the AFFS as front-line commands.<ref name="FR:FS2765p15"/> − − === Star League Era === − When the [[Star League]] Council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]] limiting the size of the military each [[Great House]] was allowed to maintain, the AFFS was required to drawdown in strength sharply, as were the other militaries of the [[Inner Sphere]]. The AFFS High Command chose not to deactivate any of the regiments within the Dragonlords, but did draw three regiments - the [[3rd Dragonlords|Third]], [[4th Dragonlords|Fourth]] and [[5th Dragonlords|Fifth]] - down to just a single [[battalion]] each in strength.<ref name="FR:FS2765p15"/> − − When the Star League Council repealed the Edict of 2650 in [[2752]]<ref name="FR:FS2765p3">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 3: "Strategic Update"</ref> the Dragonlords quickly returned to full strength as a brigade. The Dragonlords' quick return to full strength was made possible by the [[Preparedness Act|rearmament program]] put in place by [[Richard Davion]], which had seen each active [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] within the Dragonlords issued two [[BattleMech]]s, and the strong and active training program for reserves on each of the Golden Worlds, which generated a pool of trained manpower to draw upon.<ref name="FR:FS2765p15"/> − − As tensions in the [[Periphery]] rose almost the entire of the Dragonlords were deployed to worlds along the border between the Federated Suns and the [[Taurian Concordat]]. The only regiment within the brigade not to have been deployed to the border by [[2765]] was the Fifth, who remained in place on the relatively quiet world of [[Talcott]].<ref name="FR:FS2765p15"/> − − ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable" − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Dragonlords''' − |- − |} − − ==Tactics== − Different per Unit. ==Units of the Dragonlords== ==Units of the Dragonlords== − === 2572-2765 === − * [[First Dragonlords]] − * [[Second Dragonlords]] − * [[Third Dragonlords]] − * [[Fourth Dragonlords]] − * [[Fifth Dragonlords]] − <!-- {| border="1"+ {| border="1" ! rowspan=2 |Unit ! rowspan=2 |Unit ! colspan=4 |Star League ! colspan=4 |Star League ! colspan=2 |Succession Wars ! colspan=2 |Succession Wars − ! rowspan=2 |Clan Invasion<br />3050 – 3061 + ! rowspan=2 |Clan Invasion <br />3050 – 3061 ! rowspan=2 |Civil War<br />3062 – 3067 ! rowspan=2 |Civil War<br />3062 – 3067 ! rowspan=2 |Jihad<br />3068 – 3080 ! rowspan=2 |Jihad<br />3068 – 3080 − ! colspan= 2 |Dark Age + ! colspan= 2 |Dark Age |- |- − !
