Anton's Revolt
The Falcons didn't participate in Anton's Revolt. Instead they remained on Callison as the garrison.[1]
Fourth Succession War
The unit saw little combat in the Fourth Succession War. Their homeworld, however, was conquered by the Hsien Hotheads for the Lyran Commonwealth.[2]
Andurien Secession
The Falcons were stationed on Alphard in 3030.[3]
Known for their prowess against border raiders, the Falcons' luck ran out on Dubhe in 3049 when they were reduced to Battalion size by the Seventeenth Arcturan Guards RCT. After rebuilding, the unit did not see action again until Operation Guerrero.[4]
Operation Guerrero
The Falcons liberated Callison as part of a Task Force in 3057.[4]
In 3067 the Falcons were stationed on Dubhe.[5]
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.[6]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Michael Cameron-Witherspoon.[7]
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.[8][4]
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.[4] They are known for their skill in small-unit battles.[9]
