Description

Epitomised by the Baker Street Irregulars, a highly unconventional infantry force within the Battle Corps Legion, Scout Infantry are covert infantry who specialise in infiltrating into urban environments to gather information in support of future military actions.[1]

One of the things that make Baker Street Irregulars such a notable formation is that the unit is formed from personnel capable of passing as children or teenagers all of whom are generally young battlefield refugees from sites of conflict across the breadth of the Jihad. The Baker Street Irregulars made a name for themselves during Operation SCOUR, gathering vital intelligence that helped the Battle Corps Legion survive destruction time and again by playing on the principle that few people pay much attention to children.[1]
