History
Formed after the Battle of Misery and the Fourth Succession War from troops transferred out of all of the Dragoon's front-line units as well as the Fire Support Group and Support Battalion [1]. The Home Guard were subordinate to the Outreach Command [2] and were permanently stationed on Outreach.
Transfers of personnel in the 3060s to bolster the front line regiments had reduced the size of this force to half by 3067 [3]. In October 3067, while the Home Guard was at it's weakest, a force of four mercenary regiments led by Colonel Wayne Waco launched a surprise attack on Harlech, the capital city of Outreach. The Home Guard was supported by Beta and Epsilon regiments as well as by Zeta and the Wolf Spider Battalions. The fighting was intense, lasting over a week and resulted in the destruction of the Home Guard, the leveling of the city and the death of Jaime Wolf. [4]
The first action in the assault on Harlech was a pre-dawn explosion at the Home Guard compound killing hundreds of guardsmen that had been mustering due to an unspecified security alert. Further airstrikes and attacks targeted other Home Guard compounds prior to the mercenary's 'Mech assault. The remaining Home Guard acted quickly and bought enough time for Beta and Epsilon regiments to mobilize from the continent of Remus. Jaime Wolf took command of the entire Dragoon force, but seems to have personally lead the Home Guard during the fighting [5].
Officers
Major Donovan Lewis (3055)
Tactics
The Home Guard is a combined training and defense unit structured in the Clan fashion of combining older officers and younger soldiers still in sibko training.[2]
After the Clan Invasion and the front line regiments deploying Elementals the Home Guard makes extensive use of OmniVehicles such as the Badger and Bandit to transport it's infantry [6].
