History
The Fifth can trace their history back to the days before the formation of the Draconis Combine, starting its life as a Heavy Armor Battalion. The 5th still holds conventional armor in high regard.
In June 2825 the Fifth and Ninth Galedon Regulars where mobilized to stop equipment starved mercenaries sacking DCMS warehouses on Zlatous due to the Procurement Divisions mistreatment.[1].
The Fifth's primary duty is garrisoning the original capitol world of the Combine, New Samarkand.
Pirate Hunting
During the 2920's the Fifth were posted on the Periphery border to fend off the raids of the Belt Pirates, remaining there for almost a century.
Rise of the Warlord
In 3019 the regiments commanding officer Grieg Samsonov was promoted to warlord of the Galedon District for his leadership of the Fifth's campains against the belt pirates, This caused the Fifth to be relocated to New Samarkand and begin front-line opperations again.
The Fifth participated in the Galtor campaign during 3025.
Volunteers from the unit formed the Galedon Pride Provisional Company as part of Operation Bird Dog.[2].
Officers
- 3019 to 3025 General Grieg Samsonov.
- 3050 Tai-sa Ivor Sotallarude.
Tactics
The Fifth uses a number of combined arms tactics, linking 'Mechs with conventional armor units. One such tactic pins an enemy force between a maneuverable group of light 'Mechs and a potent heavy armor force. They excel at mountain fighting, and avoid urban combat if possible.
