Alonzo Barrett was a member of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]], serving with the [[Third Royal Guards]], and a consummate historian. He resigned from the [[LCAF]] in [[2995]] to found his own command, Barrett's Fusiliers. Alonzo had traced his lineage back to a musketeer who served with The Kings Musketeers, a part of the French Royal Guard on ancient [[Terra]], and Alonzo took inspiration from this; members of his command were issued with dress uniforms that consisted of a musketeer's uniform and an épée, and the insignia of the Fusiliers displayed a Musketeer flourishing an épée.<ref name="FM:MRp42"/>

The Fusiliers began as a [[company]] of [[BattleMech]]s and an [[aerospace fighter]] [[squadron]], but grew considerably in size during the [[Third Succession War]]. By the time Alonzo and the Fusiliers were involved in the defense of [[Sevren]] the command had grown to a full [[battalion]] with AeroSpace support, and the Fusiliers augmented that support at Sevren by capturing an ''[[Overlord]]''-class DropShip from the [[18th Dieron Regulars]].<ref name="FM:MRp42"/>

Alonzo would continue to command the Fusiliers throughout the [[Fourth Succession War]], refitting and rebuilding the command after [[Kingston Caballeros]] destroyed half the unit on [[Sabik]] and leading the Fusiliers back into the fray six months later, joining in the destruction of the [[4th Proserpina Hussars]] on [[La Blon]].<ref name="FM:MRp42"/>
