	By the Dark Age Era, the Fusiliers of Oriente had been reduced. This allowed the Oriente Hussars to step into the gap and start to shine. The average Free Worlds citizen saw the capabilities and competence of the Hussars, and their reputation improved. This carried over into their relationships with other League units, especially when those units discovered that the Oriente Hussars were still low on the Quartermaster's priority list and used older, less-efficient equipment.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 104</ref>		By the Dark Age Era, the Fusiliers of Oriente had been reduced.

−	Although the individual Hussar regiments use a range of different camouflage schemes, the most commonly favored is a two-tone green paint scheme for vehicles and [['Mechs]], with the lighter of the two tones in use on the top parts of the equipment and the darker tone on the lower parts. The various units display the group insignia prominently; usually, this means that the brigade insignia can be found on the turret-front of armored vehicles and the upper torso of [[BattleMechs]].
