The Fourth Regimental Combat Team was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
In 2764, the Fourth Regimental Combat Team was assigned as part of LXII Corps, Fourth Army to District 3 of the Federated Suns Military Region.[1] The unit took the lead on anti-bandit operations, having worked with Star League Intelligence Command to intercept bandit groups during their raids or at their bases.[2]
In 2765, the Fourth RCT was deployed into the Periphery Military Region along with the rest of LXII Corps following the New Vandenberg Uprising and the subsequent Periphery-wide uprising.[1]
In 2771, General DeChavilier ordered the Fourth RCT along with all other surviving Regimental Combat Teams to start reconnaissance probes and raids into Amaris-held systems in the Hegemony as part of Operation INTRUDER. These raids continued for a year and saw a very heavy casualty rate. General Kerensky wished to rest the troops of Operation INTRUDER, but their will to fight was so strong that he assigned them as pathfinder units for the main invasion.[3]
At the start of Operation CHIEFTAIN in 2772, the Fourth RCT had its full four regiments and formed part of the Nineteenth Army Group.[4]
The 255th Light Horse and 247th Dragoon Regiments were destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign, while the Fifty-fifth Royal Light Horse and 111th Dragoon Regiments survived and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[1]
