History
The Fusiliers of Oriente made up the largest unit of forces available to the Duchy of Oriente. They were one of the most effective units in the Free Worlds League Military, whether provincial or federal. Despite their origins as a provincial unit, the Fusiliers of Oriente always responded to the LCCC's call, never using the Home Defense Act to avoid federal service.[1] Indeed in 3064 Duke Halas would take this one step further and place the Fusiliers of Oriente completely under the control of the FWLM, essentially rendering the Home Defense Act useless in the Duchy of Oriente.[2]
Unlike the Marik Militia the Fusiliers of Oriente typically rebuilt units rather than creating new ones. This provided them with a long and storied history and instilled pride in the soldiers who made up the units.[1]
Elements of the Fusiliers of Oriente were the only Free Worlds League troops to see combat on two fronts during the Reunification War. The First and Second Fusiliers served on the Magistracy of Canopus front and later the Rim Worlds Republic front.[3]
During the Jihad the Fusiliers of Oriente fought both the LCAF and CCAF, losing three regiments in the process.[4] They only provided logistical support to the Coalition forces however, and after the Jihad ended they turned their attention to defending their traditional homeworlds.[5]
