An apparently recent event that happened on Torwind and was also mentioned at Maloof's Tavern (and thus implicitly happened on Pike IV or Travis V, suggesting Torwind may be a continent or otherwise a region on one of these planets) was that Lt. Razowski's [[lance]] of Burrows' Crashing Thunder Regiment won a battle against a few 'Mechs from Homer's Battalion near New Lodi, and subsequently had their armor patched up with metal sheets taken from truck trailers still featuring product logos and text such as "LARD" in big yellow letters, or "SpamSpamSpamSpamSpamSpamSpamSpam". One MechWarrior, [[Rozell Williams]] held a lasting grudge against the mischievous techs as the legs and rigth torso of his 'Mech read "Processed Chicken".<ref name=RG16-6/>

A veteran MechWarrior from the unit told a rookie about one [[Kim Howard]] from Fink's Lance, though it remains unclear if that lance was part of Burrows' Crashing Thunder Regiment. Similarly, veteran [[Neil Armstrong Edlemann]], [[Scott Markwell]], ''[[Rifleman]]'' pilot [[Tony Barnes]], and Medium Lance Commander Jones are mentioned and may or may not be unit members.<ref name=LBC/>
