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 Trinaries are a mix of OmniMechs and Elementals, with varying ratios depending on their function. The fourth Trinary is a pure AeroSpace Fighter unit, while the fifth is a Supernova of conventional armor and infantry.^[1]

The Clusters are further divided into four separate categories:^[1]

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 fightercraft, 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 autocannons 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.
