In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XXXII Corps, Fourteenth Army, to District 1 of the Draconis Combine Military Region and then transferred to District 3 by 2765 in response to the Periphery Uprising. The 192nd survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[2]

Tactics[edit]

The Mechanized Infantry divisions of the Star League were used offensively to exploit gaps in the enemy front created by the BattleMech divisions. They also bore the brunt of defensive actions.[3]

The 192nd would rush their opponents in waves, meanwhile deploying infantry in the middle of the opponent's formation or in their rear area. If the opponent faced the infantry, the armored and 'Mech units of the division hit them in the rear. If the enemy chose to face the armor and 'Mechs, the infantry was free to wreak havoc.[1]

Composition History[edit]

The Division comprised two brigades of mechanized infantry and a single BattleMech brigade. Also attached was a ground aero wing.[3]
