Long considered the premier units of the FWLM, the Free Worlds Guards jealously guarded that reputation following the creation of the Knights of the Inner Sphere. Created at the same time as the Free Worlds League, the Guards drew forces from across the League.

History

The brigade had their roots in 10 conventionell regiments which where autorized during the early years of the Free worlds League. [1] The brigade was one of few larger commands without the influence of the parlament. With Resolution 288 the brigade awnsers directly to the Captain General.
From the 6 regiments after the collaps of the Star Legaue until the end of the 4th Succession war the number were reduced to 3.
One of the latest loses was the destruction of the 4th Guards on Tsingtao. Unknown to the FWL forces were the presence of the deadly Black Widow Company (Wolf's Dragoons). The 4th Guards were destroyed during the campaign and the worst for the LCCC was that the survivors get treators when they changed the side to the AFFC. [1]

Officer

The commanding officer in 3059 was General Tamara Findlay. [1]

Forces

The equipment and the quality of the soldiers are only a step after the Knights of the Inner Sphere. The 1st and 2nd Guards are combat units with the best material available, because the 3rd are the training cadre for the other units of the brigade. [1]
