It had a reputation for poor discipline, which allowed the Kuritans to find or forge excuses to arrest about ten of them. The new Dragoons liaison officer, ''Tai-sa'' [[Reiko Akamine]], refused to release them to Dragoons' custody to put pressure on the unit.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', p. 45</ref> The ongoing tensions and the arrival of a [[Clan Wolf]] representative trying to recruit the Dragoons for the battle on [[Terra]], [[Star Captain]] [[Marotta Kerensky]], caused a rift inside the Dragoons. This resulted in the [[Battle of Parma (3150)]] between the Dragoons and a faction of mutineers led by Nicholas Crews, Gamma's leader, with casualties and deaths on both sides. At the end of the battle, the survivors compromised and agreed to terminate the contract with the Combine and join Clan Wolf.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', pp. 113–115</ref> Gamma, as the other Dragoons' line regiments, joined Clan Wolf's [[IlClan Trial]]. As part of ''Task Force Athena'', Alpha attacked the Jade Falcon lines, wading through the [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)]], breaking their lines, with Gamma following them, after splitting the Falcon in half, continued into [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)]], pushing twelve kilometers. Colonel Brubaker was wounded, and Major Krull had to take command of all the Dragoons. When [[Alaric Ward]], Khan of the Wolves, ordered the Dragoons to cease their attack and retreat, he had to comply, but the Dragoons' sustained heavy losses during the maneuver.<ref>''IlClan (sourcebook)'', p. 96-100</ref> ===Second Disbandment=== Along with most of the Dragoons, Gamma sustaed heavy losses: the ''Black Cats'' battalion had a single survivor and the new Dragoons leader, Colonel [[Henry Kincaid]] was forced to deactivate it, though their surviving equipment was used to rebuild other units. The Black Cats' DropShips were used by the reborn [[Zeta Battalion]].<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 29</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 Gamma Regiment''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Wilhelmina Korsht]]||[[3006]] - at least [[3025]]<ref name=HKTDCp133/> |- | Colonel||[[Neil Parella]]|| (no later than) [[3052]]<ref name=YE>''Yesterday's Enemy''</ref> - [[3055]] |- | Colonel||[[Irwin Tyrell]]||[[3055]] - [[3067]] |- | Colonel||[[Nicholas Crews]]||[[3150]] - [[3151]] |} ==Tactics== Gamma regiment are the Dragoons' urban specialists.
