==History==
The '''Thirty-second Recon Regiment''' was originally an [[SLDF]] unit raised in [[2765]] for special operations. It took part in the assault of [[Terra]] and in [[2780]] was assigned to the 312th Battle Brigade. In 2784 its commanding officer General Gael led the Regiment to [[Bryant]] and its new life as mercenaries.<ref name=MS47>''Mercenaries Supplemental'', p. 47</ref> [[Lieutenant General]] [[Lochan Gael]] was killed during the fall of Bryant in the [[First Succession War]].<ref name=MS47/>

Speculation also exists that the new mercenary unit was originally the [[167th Light Horse Regiment]] however this remains unconfirmed.<ref name=FSW35>''First Succession War'', p. 35</ref>

Their name is also their mission, specialized in recon, raiding and harassing tasks. The unit formed the original command element of the entire [[Lexington Combat Group]] and as a result LCG's independent command [[Battalion]] is always attached to the Thirty-second separated.<ref name=MS47/>

The Thirty-second spent much of the early [[thirty-first century]] engaged in the Capellan March and acquired a great deal of experience dealing with cross-border raids. In 3038 they were stationed on [[Lindsay]] later moving to [[Hyaite]] at the start of the War of '39.<ref name=HWO3039>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. ?{{cn}}</ref> By [[3054]] the Regiment had returned to Lindsay.<ref name=ORp15>''Objective Raids'', p. 15</ref> During the FedCom Civil War the Thirty-second saw action first on the world of Brockway and then on Panpour.<ref name=MS47/> Colonel [[Irina Gant]] died on Panpour in February [[3065]].

In [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]] the Thirty-second was moved from Midale to Flintoft. Though this would have allowed them to respond to a [[TDF]] incursion on [[New Syrtis]] or the [[Pleiades Cluster]], the real problem was that the [[CCAF]] raided [[Ridgebrook]]. The [[First McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] and [[Prefectorate Guard]] landed on Ridgebrook, and the Thirty-second moved to respond. Unfortunately the CCAF strike was a feint, and the Thirty-second was stranded at Ridgebrook while New Syrtis was raided.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 86</ref>
