In common with the other elements of [[Tau Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Tau Galaxy]] the '''Twelfth Wolf Cavalry''' was recruited almost entirely from the various graduating classes from [[3139]] to [[3142]] of the [[Allison MechWarrior Institute]] and the [[Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace School]]. Although [[Clan Wolf]] had to put all of the recruits through the Watch for vetting beforehand, making use of such a large pool of trained personnel made sense, and the Wolves streamed more [['Mech]]s and [[aerospace fighter]]s into the Twelfth and the other elements of Tau Galaxy than would usually be the case for a garrison formation. Despite this act of largess, there still wasn't enough to allow the Twelfth to be a full 'Mech Cluster, which meant that the Twelfth had to use tank crews and infantry - both less well-trained than the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] and aerospace pilots - to fill the gaps in their order of battle.<ref name="FM:3145p161"/>

Having mustered Tau Galaxy, the [[Wolf Empire]] had kept the Twelfth and the other elements of the Galaxy focused on the [[Free Worlds League]] border, leaving the Twelfth in the invidious position of resenting the quiet posting while also feeling conflicted over the lingering loyalties felt towards the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]], which had been responsible for their training. The Empire had little alternative, however; redirecting the Twelfth to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] border would've been the recipe for a diplomatic incident in the making.<ref name="FM:3145p161"/>
