23rd Combined Arms Regimental Combat Team “The Last Chancers”

The regiment is organised into readily deployable units, often slightly larger than standard MILICIA. The 23rd suffers from a shortage of officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned. Some of the officers available are also considered unsuitable for company or even section level commands. Since they have a shortage of equipment and have difficulty requisitioning some supplies, they field whatever equipment is available. Units tend to be deployed eitheralone for simple patrols, or in overwhelming force in the hopes of ending any engagement decisiviely and quickly, with minimal loss. Plus, it reduces the chances of a squad deciding they have a better chance of survival if they cheese it into the jungle. Typically the regiment is assigned piecemeal to provide support to MILICA or league forces in the surrounding region. Standard missions include long, tedious patrols, low-priority recon, and taking the lead in assaults against rebels, bandits and other low-profile targets. MILICIA command has never officially used the phrase ‘cannon fodder’ of the 23rd, but that’s what it often boils down to. Specialist units like artillery, armour, snipers, etc. get a slightly better deal, but GP infantry or gear assignments in the 23rd tend to be a not-very-drawn-out death sentence.
