This common structure saw the First assigned a swathe of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced aerospace fighter wing.

Tactics

Star League Era

Due to the high number of Sun Zhang Military Academy and Galedon Military Academy recruits within the Galedon Regulars, the Regulars often displayed fanatical loyalty and courage. However, the elitism displayed by these same recruits led to poor coordination between the Regulars and the attached convention forces, who were often used as cannon fodder.[2]

Succession Wars

In 3025 the unit is specialized in open field battles.[8]

Clan Invasion

The Second prefers open-field battles. Its inexperienced warriors tend to be outmaneuvered in large-scale combat or in close-quarters.[1]
