382nd Royal Dragoons were raised to the front line status following colonel Roadracer's move to a full-time Command Staff duty. Major Tango, as colonel's executive officer in 571st Grenadiers, was given command and the first choice at selecting the personnel for the newly upgraded regiment.
The symbol of 382nd Royal Dragoons is a black eagle positioned to strike, its claws gripping a blue lighting bolt, over an ancient Terran shield. It represents honor, courage and fearsome predatory ability. These are the qualities that mechwarriors must exhibit prior to acceptance into the regimental ranks.
With the upgraded status, 382nd recruiting criteria have been revised. To be accepted, mechwarriors must have served with another independent combat regiment for at least a year. Applicants are subjected to personnel history review and battle skills testing. If they successfully pass both of these examinations, they are assigned to the battalions according to their specialties.
Although currently not at full combat readiness, 382nd has shown skill and courage under fire during the raids on Clan Wolf and Ghost Bear planets. |
