''Close Quarters'' describes the unit as being composed of [[Free Worlds League]] natives, and having a diverse mix of different ethnicities. Many of the members hail from the three impoverished worlds of [[Cerillos]], [[Galisteo]], and [[Sierra]], the so-called "[[Southwest Trinity worlds|Trinity of Southwestern Worlds]]" on the League edge of the [[Periphery]] that are composed primarily of individuals of Hispanic descent. The novel also states the unit as being involved in battle against the [[Clans]], Colonel Carlos Camacho most notably piloting a captured [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] ''[[Mad Cat]]''. They are employed by the people of Crotch (in a flashback) and, for the main part of the story, [[Chandrasekhar Kurita]], the CEO of [[Hachiman Taro Electronics]], which is based out of [[Hachiman (system)|Hachiman]].

The Caballeros have been key in foiling the plots of the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'', as they did when the rebels attempted to conquer [[Towne]] from the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. The Caballeros defeated the [[Fifteenth Dieron Regulars]] and their support [[1st Dragons Joy Infantry]] there, earning the [[Draconis Combine]] a bruised ego as a line unit was defeated by corporate mercenaries. The Regiment gained a fourth Battalion in wake of the fighting on Towne in [[3058]].  Many of the 'Mechs and equipment that would make up their new battalion came from the decimated Black Dragon-aligned forces which included the Fifteenth Dieron Regulars and its task force of supporting regiments. Prior to June, the unit received a mixed group of new recruits from the Southwest Trinity of worlds, which would incorporate some survivors of the fighting on Towne. Robert "Navajo Wolf" Begay was promoted to [[Force Commander]] and became its commanding officer.  However many within the regiment were ill at ease with the new Battalion due to the nature of its creation and personnel.<ref>''Black Dragon'', pp. 72–73</ref>
