Editing Clan Hell's Horses Touman

The '''Clan Hell's Horses ''touman''''' is the military arm of [[Clan Hell's Horses]].

==Unit Structure==
Clan Hell's Horses' beliefs in cooperation and combine-arms warfare has led to the adoption of their own unique organization.  In the standard [[Cluster]], the first three [[Trinary|Trinaries]] are a mix of [[OmniMechs]] and [[Elemental]]s, with varying ratios depending on their function.  The fourth Trinary is a pure [[aerospace fighter]] unit, while the fifth is a [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova]] of [[Combat Vehicle|conventional armor]] and [[infantry]].<ref name=CC59>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 59</ref>

The Clusters are further divided into separate categories:<ref name=CC59/>

|-
! Cluster Type
! Information
|-
|Cavalry Cluster
|The most numerous Cluster type, these units employ fast light- to heavy-weight 'Mech designs, along with a few assault 'Mechs.  Both conventional and Elemental infantry are fully jump-capable, and vehicles assigned to a Cavalry Cluster are a mix of hover and VTOL craft, mostly infantry transports.  Their primary function is for reconnaissance and fast-response, but they favor no particular weapon class or system, and employ flexible field tactics.
|-
|Strike Cluster
|A balance of speed and firepower, Strike Clusters use medium- to heavy-weight 'Mechs, vehicles and fighters.  These units contain fewer infantry forces than in other Clusters as their primary mission is offensive operations, which tend to inflict greater casualties.  For the sake of mobility these units favor energy weapons so as to avoid being tied down to supply lines.
|-
|Assault Cluster
|Emphasizing firepower at the expense of speed, these Clusters feature larger numbers of heavy-weight 'Mechs and fighters, with infantry and vehicles that similarly focus on greater hitting power over mobility.  As these Clusters are used for defensive operations and siege warfare, they are generally close enough to their supply lines to avoid resupply concerns, and so place a greater emphasis on heavier [[autocannon]]s and missile weaponry.
|-
|Generic Clusters
|Reserved for garrison Clusters, these units contain a grab-bag of different machines, weapon systems and forces to fulfill the jack-of-all-trades role.  They are used in battle only when the need for additional forces arises.
|-
|Horde Cluster
|In the late 3080's, Star Colonel Domnall Seidman of the 666th Mechanized Assault Cluster was given permission from the Clan Council to create a new Cluster, one that became the basis for the "Mongol Doctrine." Horde Clusters feature two Trinaries and an attached support Supernova. Mangudai Trinary consists of highly mobile light (or few mediums) 'Mechs or vehicles, used to draw out or position enemies for the heavier Tulughma Trinary of heavy and assault weight machines.  Support Supernova contains any regular infantry and associated carriers, and is used to assist as needed.<ref name="ER:3145p60+">''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 60–61: "First Horde Cluster"</ref>
|-
|Ranger Clusters
|Raised in the Dark Age largely as a defensive stalling tactic until other Clusters can arrive, Ranger Clusters field quick, lightweight, long-range skirmishing units that can harass an opponent but not survive a stand-up fight.  Most are found in second-line Galaxies and do not see much combat.<ref name="FM:3145p155">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 155</ref>

==Uniforms and Rank Insignia==
'''Battle Uniform'''

Both MechWarriors and Elementals wear a red and black mesh cooling suits form the base of the battle uniform. The uniform adds a gun belt, headband and wristbands with thin red boots of insulated, reinforced rubber. Horses warriors wear a camouflaged flak vest that completes the uniform.

Aerospace pilots wear an all red flight suit with black shoulder, elbow, and knee pads. Black boots, gloves, and a flight helmet which can be sealed to protect the wearer against heat, cold, and the vacuum of space.

Conventional Infantry wear the standard field uniform in combat.<ref name=FM:CCp61>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 61: Clan Hell's Horses Uniforms</ref>

'''Field Uniform'''

The Hell's Horses field uniforms sport a reddish-brown camouflage pattern made with ballistic cloth and reinforced at the shoulder, elbow and knees by thick black pads. Pockets in the upper legs, as well as on the black utility belt, allows the wearer to carry additional gear in the field. A standard hip holster holds a sidearm only required when the situation demands. Thick leather boots with fasteners provide long lasting protection for the warrior's feet. Dismounted warriors add a black Cavalry hat with the Hell's Horses logo placed on the upturned on the right side of the brim, but some warriors switch the hat for a helmet or neurohelmet.<ref name="FM:CCp61"/>

'''Dress Uniform'''

The Hell's Horses dress uniform is a simple red jacket, trimmed with black leather, over a black high collar undershirt. A single pentagonal gold button, matching the jacket's cuff links is pinned to the right flap of the uniform, over the wearer's left breast. A simple, black leather belt at the waist, a ceremonial sword may be worn. Red trousers trimmed with black leather and polished blacked leather shoes complete the uniform. Hell's Horses warriors wear black leather gloves with the dress uniform.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 60: Clan Hell's Horses Uniforms</ref>

'''Ceremonial Uniform'''

The ceremonial uniform is the same as the dress uniform, but adds a gold trim at all seams where black and red meet. An enameled mask modeled after the hell's horse that features a long mane of synthetic yellow horse hair that runs down the meter of the wearer's back.<ref name="FM:CCp61"/>

'''Naval Uniform'''

The naval uniform is the same as the dress uniform, but switches red and black around and swaps the gloves and sword with a gun belt.<ref name="FM:CCp61"/>

'''Undress Uniform'''

When not on active duty or in battle, Hell's Horses warriors wear a red jumpsuit, trimmed in black. Black shoes and a black gun belt are worn with the uniform, but are optional. Black elbow and knee pads are only worn when handling menial activities.<ref name="FM:CCp61"/>
