The Grenadiers fought its first battle against [[1st Atrean Dragoons|Atrean Dragoons]] on [[Matheran]] in [[2818]]. It won another singular victory against House Marik in [[2820]], when defending the world of [[Kwamashu]]. They fought Marik Militia unit and repelled them from the world, capturing two air lances' worth of [[Seydlitz]] AeroSpace Fighters. In [[2830]], the unit conducted its first offensive mission against Marik World of [[Suzano]]. There they fought and destroyed an entire regiment of the Orloff Grenadiers. Justine's Grenadiers developed a reputation from their string of successes. They became known for their trickery and ability to deceive their opponents. This proved to be true in defense of the world [[Bernardo]] where feigned withdrawal to deceive the world's invaders. They later returned, coming from the arctic regions to hit the unsuspecting Marik Militia force. The unit managed to capture number of ''[[Wasp]]'' and ''[[Flea]]'' light 'Mechs from them. They again feigned withdrawal before conducting a second surprise attack. The Grenadiers later conducted a deep strike against world of [[Wisconsin]] in [[2838]]. Wisconsin was being used as a rest & relaxation stop for two reserve Marik forces. The Grenadiers' AeroSpace lances caught and destroyed the [[8th Marik Militia]] without warning, destroying them in a daring early morning attack.<ref name="FM:FWLp65">''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 65, "23rd Marik Militia"</ref> In 2905, the unit conducted its first attack against Davion world of [[Novaya Zemlya]]. The Grenadiers' air lance took heavy damage by Davion air forces due lack of coordination. The unit since the 2960s, begun to suffer to lack of resources to maintain its unit strength. Because of this, Grenadier's deep strikes became less frequent. With unit only conducting specified objective raids against Marik worlds for supplies and what not. Unit morale begun to plummet considerably due to reduction of its more offensive actions it was known for. Despite that, its individual members have kept their morale up. In the [[4th Succession War]] the units 1st & 2nd battalion later in the war become part of the [[3rd Republican]]. The 3rd battalion was destroyed in the failed defense of [[Saiph]]. ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Justine's Grenadiers''' |- | ''[[Colonel]]''||[[Nancy Justine Gordon]]||[[3025]]<ref name=hslioap106>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 106</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== Known for feigning withdrawals, sneak attacks, and deep strikes. ==Composition History== === 2821 === '''Justine's Grenadiers''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War (sourcebook)'', p. 135, "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces (CCAF) - Deployment Table"</ref> :- At this point in time the Grenadiers were a medium-weight regiment operating at just below full strength and were stationed on [[Kwamashu]].<ref name="FSWp136"/> === 2830 === '''Justine's Grenadiers''' (Regiment/Green/Fanatical)<ref name=2ndSSp95>''Second Succession War'', p. 95</ref> : Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Kwamashu]] with an operational readiness of 151 percent.<ref name=2ndSSp95/> The unit was destroyed during the war.<ref name=2ndSSp95/> ===3025=== '''Justine's Grenadiers''' (3 [[Battalion]]s/Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=hslioap106/> :* CO: was [[Colonel]] [[Nancy Justine Gordon]] :; 1st Battalion Commander: ''[[Major]]'' [[Andreas Hamilton]] :; 2nd Battalion Commander: ''Major'' [[Otto Leopold]] :; 3rd Battalion Commander: ''Major'' [[Norman Ming]] Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Elgin]] and also on [[Sirius]].<ref name=hslioap106/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: Free Worlds League]]'' * ''[[First Succession War (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' * ''[[NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1]]'' * ''[[NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2]]'' [[Category:Capellan Confederation Commands]]
