Reformation as Mercenaries
House Steiner's Winfield's Brigade was believed to be destroyed during Operation Revival, but a small force survived. The survivors build the core for the rebuild unit into a mercenary group named Winfield's Regiment. During the Clan's Wolf / Jade Falcon War, the Colonel Jeremiah Winfield conducted a small border raid against world of Butler, which ultimately failed. As consequence the unit left LAAF service and after a short time in the Chaos March they signed on to work for the Marian Hegemony in 3065. There the mercs defended the state against the Circinus Federation counter-invasion.[1]
In Service of the Hegemony In the Jihad
During the next years, the command trained with the IV Legio in anti-riot methods and other law enforcement tactics. The high command in 3068 ordered the mercenaries to find and destroy the base of the Circinus Black Warriors. The CO created two battalion-size task forces with the third behind as backup at Maximillian.
In 3069 on Corpus Mortuum, they captured a band of pirates how told them from massive Word of Blake bases in the Federation. Colonel Winfield salvaged chance coming and to get the necessary equipment about to liberated his conquered home planet from the clans. On Circinus the mercs lost two full battalions and the 3rd Battalion was attacked after information get in to the wrong hands. The regiment is a shadow of its former self after the horrific events on Blantleff. The Caesar of Marian Hegemony began citing the unit maybe in breach of contract due to its fighting condition. The Hegemony forbade regiment from recruiting from Hegemony citizens, however Palatinate rebels have joined the unit.[2]

Tactic
Harassing and cavalry tactics is best suited for this command. Flanking maneuvers and ambushes are also part of their tricks.
Support
The techs can do most of the normal repairs. The unit posses a Star Lord-class JumpShip (Hartford) and two Overlord-class DropShips to transport the entire command. The Hardford's KF Drive was shattered from overuse after arriving back on Blantleff in 3069.
