The Second Dieron Regulars are one of the more skilled units of the DCMS Dieron Regulars.

History

Formation

The command was formed prior to the First Succession War.[1]

First Succession War

Just prior to the war the unit was stationed on Shimonita.[1]

Fourth Succession War

The unit battle on an unknown planet against the Federated Commonwealth forces and used every opportunity to gain victory.

Ronin Wars


War of 3039

Reinforced Vega in the War of 3039. They joined the 2nd Legion of Vega and the 14th Legion of Vega and fought Snord's Irregulars, the 3rd Davion Guards, and the 1st Grave Walkers. The Second and the two Legion of Vega units were able to drive the Federated Commonwealth forces out of the system.[2] They then returned to their garrison on Cebalrai.[3]

Clan Invasion

The unit acted as training cadre for other regiments during Operation Revival. They were stationed on Cebalrai in 3050.[4] The commander of the Second petitioned for permission to raid the LexaTech LAM factory on Irece. The Kanrei refused the request because the plant had been destroyed.[5]

Operation Bulldog

During the Operation the planet Jeanette was liberated through a task force which includes the Second Dieron Regulars, 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group, 1st Aragon Borderers, Warrior House Daidachi and the Crater Cobras. The defending Nova Cat Lancers give the ownership of the planet back to the DCMS after a trial of possession, which they lost. The Second also helped liberate Albiero.

Xin Sheng Campaign

The Second Dieron Regulars were part of the SLDF peacekeeping force deployed to the St. Ives Compact. They landed on Vesthallas and ordered the defenders to disarm. Aliesha's Mounted Fusiliers and the militia unit refused, and the Second engaged the defending units. They pushed the Fusiliers off of Vesthallas.[6]

Dominion War

They guarded the border against possible invasions.

Federated Suns Incursion

The command acted as a reserve unit if the war goes on.

Jihad

In 3077 the 2nd Dieron Regulars was one of two units to fight alongside Clan Ghost Bear forces on Dieron. Their air wing, the Dragon-kin, was decimated on the way to the planet but the ground units landed with few casualties. That changed when the 2nd Dieron encountered the Word of Blake's 19th Division. The 19th used a Luthien Armor Works facility as their headquarters, and the 2nd Dieron took serious losses breaching the facility's defenses. The Blakists had the last word however, killing most of the 2nd Dieron Regulars command structure when they detonated several nuclear warheads and destroyed the LAW facility.[7]

Later they joined Operation SCOUR as a part of the Draconis Combine front task force[8], saw some combat on Styx in 3077[9] and participated in the assault on Cairo.[10] During the combat drop, Blakist surface-to-air fire destroyed about half the unit. After the Jihad ended, they returned to Dieron.[11]

With the formation of The Republic of the Sphere the Dieron Military District was eliminated. The Second Dieron Regulars were reassigned to the New Samarkand Military District and renamed the 2nd New Samarkand Regulars.[12]

Officers

Tactics

The unit specialized in mountain combat, utilizing Light BattleMechs.[15]
