Jihad
After the Jihad the Falcons were stationed on Amity and Danais. They reported to the Marik Commonwealth, but made it clear that their first loyalty was to the Silver Hawk Coalition. In 3079 Corinne Marik made it clear to the Falcons that she intended to recapture several worlds that were claimed by the Republic of the Sphere.[2]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Michael Cameron-Witherspoon.[3]
As of 3050 to 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel Glendon Lorch, the son-in-law of the former Falcons' Commander, Colonel Diego Cameron-Witherspoon.[4][1]
Tactics
The light equipment is best used during fast battles and the officers at company level and above have the authority to act on their own when the situation is created.[1]
