History
During the Andurien War, the First Atrean Dragoons was one of several units used to interdict supplies to the rebellious Duchy. Although they raided Shiro III and Conquista, they remained in reserve for the rest of the war.[1]
Deployed to Asuncion during the Zion Crisis, the First ran into considerable resistance, including the murder of an entire infantry Squad which was patrolling the capital. The 'Mechs of the Dragoons were deployed in response, and the rebels escalated their attacks accordingly, until a mob stormed the Dragoons' compound on March 2, 3058, overrunning the infantry, and continuing despite numerous warning shots fired by the 'Mech Regiment. Eventually, two MechWarriors panicked, firing into the crowd, resulting in over two hundred civilian deaths. This incident became known as the Herat Massacre, and resulted in the First being rapidly pulled off the world.[2]
Despite being cleared of wrongdoing, the multiple investigations that occurred after the Herat Massacre resulted in very low morale for the entire unit. Tension between the First Dragoons and their supporting unit, Pfeister's Furies, led to increased friction between the two units.[3]
Jihad
The First Atrean Dragoons attacked Zebebelgenubi in 3068, but were forced offworld in 3069.[4]
Officers
As of 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel John Orzehoskie. He was still in command in 3067.[5]
Tactics
The First Atrean Dragoons prefer to engage enemy forces at long range, via LRMs, Arrow IV missiles, or artillery bombardments.[6]
