At their inception they were equipped as well as a front line CCAF force, but they were staffed by new graduates, volunteers, and other less-experienced troops. The Strategios planned to use troops from the CRC to fill gaps in front-line forces, and the CRC's colonels were ordered to put their forces under the command of any more-experienced units and commanders who they fought alongside. This allowed the CRC's troops to gain experience while serving the goals of the Confederation. The First through Seventh CRC were formed prior to [[2765]].<ref>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 16</ref> As of [[3025]] there were five [[regiment]]s of various strengths listed<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 105: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> but [[Hurloc's Hussars]] is listed as being formed as the 7th Confederation Reserve Cavalry.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 93: "Hurloc's Hussars" - History</ref> Whether or not the other regiments initially had other designation is unknown. Only two regiments survived the [[Fourth Succession War]]<ref name=citation69>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 69: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> although it is also stated that there were originally five regiments, not seven. === Fourth Succession War === Prior to the [[Fourth Succession War]] the Confederation Reserve Cavalry regiments were broken up into battalion sized commands and used to reinforce strategic targets. During the [[Federated Suns]] invasion of the Confederation, these battalion sized commands were frequently surrounded by large number of [[AFFS]] troops and forced to surrender or they were destroyed.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 16, 22, 34</ref> Several of these commands engaged the invaders in a guerrilla war before they were destroyed however.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 34</ref> The few commands that escaped were dramatically understrength and when later used to counterattack the Federated Suns, they again had little choice but to surrender or fight to the death.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 92, 99</ref> In the reorganization after the Fourth Succession War the Reserve Cavalry became mobile forces stationed in one [[commonality]] and rotated between planets. Even then they occasionally transferred from one commonality to another.<ref name=citation69/><ref>''Field Manual: Update, p. 22, "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> ===''Xin Sheng''=== Rebuilt from the ashes and fielding five regiments the units had the opportunity to developed strategies and could familiarize themselves with the planets they defended. The exchange of information and experiences have improved the skills of the units too. They field a other indirect role also, because the commands receive their orders from the Strategios and not the local jiang-jun. In the recent conflict with the former St. Ives they proved their worth in face of enemies with equal skills. === Jihad === During the [[Jihad]] the reserve forces took a significantly larger role in aggressive action and uniformly brought honor to the regimental colors although the Second was destroyed. The surviving Confederation Reserve Cavalry units then took up garrison stations across the Confederation.<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 11: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> Described as having given solid, if unspectacular, service during the Jihad, the Reserve Cavalry had effectively acted as a second-line formation, working in support of commands such as the [[Capellan Hussars]].<ref name="J:FRp100">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 100: "The Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> The Confederation Reserve Cavalry fought off many of the [[AFFS]] best commands during [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]] and the battles of the Jihad. After the [[Treaty of Tikonov]] and the creation of the [[Republic of the Sphere]] the Confederation Reserve Cavalry units were transferred to the Confederation/Republic border.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 28</ref> ==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 Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' |- | [[Major]]||[[Romano Liao]]||[[3012]] - [[3023]]<ref name=BT:Lp32>''BattleTech: Legends'', p. 32</ref> |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Alistair Hayden]]||[[3050]]<ref name="20YUp6263">''20 Year Update'', pp. 62–63: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces (CCAF)"</ref> |- | ''[[Jiang-jun]]''||[[Siona Aterade-Liao]]||{{cn}} |- |} ==Available Forces== The units field many older, upgraded designs piloted by a mix of new recruits and experienced officers. The regiments are supported by at least 6 companies of tanks, but have fewer infantry as common. The aerospace fighters provide minimal security in the field because of their few numbers. [[Augmented Lance]]s are not unusual in and provide the CO with some flexibility. ==Units of the Confederation Cavalry Reserve == * [[1st Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] * [[2nd Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FMCC3063>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', pp. 69–74: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> * [[3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FMCC3063/><ref name=FM3085p28>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 28</ref><ref name=FM3145p35>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 39</ref> * [[4th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FM3145p35/> * [[5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FMCC3063/><ref name=FM3085p28/> * [[6th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FMCC3063/><ref name=FM3085p28/><ref name=FM3145p35/> * [[7th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FMCC3063/><ref name=FM3085p28/><ref name=FM3145p35/> * [[8th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FM3145p35/> * [[9th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name=FM3145p35/> * [[10th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] * [[11th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] ==Notes== :* The 1st Cavalry was destroyed during the Fourth Succession War. :* The 2nd Confederation Reserve Cavalry was destroyed on [[Necromo]] during [[Operation Sovereign Justice]]).<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 11</ref> :* The 4th Confederation Reserve Cavalry was destroyed/defected during Fourth Succession War. ==Colors and Unit Insignia== The Confederation Reserve Cavalry uses appropriate camouflage in a striped, two-color pattern.
