In its earlier days, the Battalion was loaned its usage of [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] from local regular units, such as [[1st Kittery Borderers]]. ==History== ===Formation=== After the unit's formation, command was given to Major [[Justin Allard|Justin X. Allard]]. He was personally assigned to the training unit by Prince Hanse Davion due to his mixed Capellan heritage, and he served a dual role as emissary to the people of Kittery in an effort to normalize relations.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', p. 7: "Justin Allard achieves his secondary objective of being assigned to Kittery"</ref> From its conception, Training Sergeants command Cadet MechWarriors through classes and drills, ranging from boot camp to using actual BattleMechs themselves on deployed maneuvers. In November 3026 a Capellan raiding force attacked the unit during a training exercise.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', p. 13: "Cicadas attacked the Training Battalion"</ref> The Battalion was outfitted with 30 ''[[Stinger]]'' [[BattleMech#Light|light]] BattleMechs, while its two officers were assigned a ''[[Spider]]'' and a ''[[Valkyrie]]'' from another nearby unit, the Kittery Borderers.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', p. 8: "Lt. Redburn reports on 'Mechs loaned from 1st Kittery Borderers"</ref> The unit faced a company of ''[[Cicada]]'' 'Mechs, which had split up and come in from all directions except for the west. Major Allard detected a heavy 'Mech further to the west, and contacted his XO, Lt. [[Andrew Redburn]], assigning command of the unit to him while Allard dealt with the new threat. The Cadets rallied and combined their fire against the Capellan 'Mechs. By using their superior numbers and their jump jets, they took advantage of the valley's benefits to their lighter 'Mechs. The cadets, led by Lt. Redburn, overcame the ambush and forced the veteran troops to flee. Shortly after the battle, they discovered the wreck of the Major's ''Valkyrie''. Allard was found alive, but having lost his left forearm after fighting a ''[[Rifleman]]'' (piloted by [[Gray Noton]]) to a draw. ===Civil War=== The Battalion managed to stay out of the [[FedCom Civil War]] for the duration. The unit kept its focus on possible threats from the Capellan Confederation.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 136: "Regional Training Battalion Profile"</ref> ===Jihad=== The 1st Kittery Training Battalion and the [[1st Kittery Borderers]] were attacked on Kittery by the [[13th Division (Word of Blake)|13th Division]] of the [[Word of Blake Militia]] during the Capellan counterassault, [[Operation THUNDERSTRIKE]].
