History
The Fourth Andurien Rangers formed in 3079. At their core was the most recent class of graduates from the Humphreys Training Academy who piloted assault 'Mechs. The Fourth moved between garrison postings on Sadurni and Lurgatan.[1] By 3085 the unit had expanded into a battalion sized formation. Their commander, Colonel Steven Humphreys, began trying to re-cast the Fourth into his vision of the perfect military unit. Unfortunately he was unable to delegate effectively and the morale of the Fourth dropped rapidly. In fact, the Colonel's behavior was so disliked that the soldiers of the Fourth engaged in passive resistance, completing his orders at the slowest speed possible.[2]
Unlike other Andurien Ranger units, the Fourth typically organizes its companies in random arrangements to confuse enemy forces. This worked when the Fourth faced the 3rd Oriente Hussars. The Hussars thought the Rangers were an irregular unit instead of a formal ADF unit.[3] They were stationed on Fagerholm in 3145.[4]
Officers
As of 3085, the commanding officer was Colonel Steven Humphreys, brother of the Duchy's leader.[5]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Colonel Burl Barton.[4]
