Prior to the Clan Invasion, the Hussars were a brigade of light-medium weight BattleMech regiments belonging to the KungsArmé.
History
Formed along with the rest of the KungsArme, the Hussars regiments were designed to use medium-weight BattleMechs. These 'Mechs were supposed to be at the lighter end of the spectrum, and simultaneously carry enough firepower to allow the Hussars to inflict serious damage on a foe and then retreat.[1] Each province was home to one of the Hussar regiments and the brigade was adept at quick redeployment across their assigned zone.[2]
After the formation of the Ghost Bear Dominion, the Hussars regiments were honored by being recreated as new Clusters.

Tactics
Though each Hussars regiment uses its own tactics, in general, the units of this command are highly skilled at rapid redeployments. This allows them to act as the rapid response force for their province. They can quickly disengage from one foe, board their DropShips, and redeploy against the same enemy from a new direction or a new enemy force.[2]
Every supporting combat vehicle battalion maintains only a lance of heavy or assault tanks, to be used for defense. The remainder of the vehicles are fast hovercraft, and the assigned infantry is anti-'Mech trained jump infantry.[2]

Notes
The Third Husars are sometimes noted as fighting on Satalice, where they held off the Thirteenth Wolf Guards for more than a month with Kapten Ragnar Magnusson.[3] This is in error and later sources make it clear that the Third Drakøns was the only force to spar with the famed Black Widow, and the Third Hussars as one of two units that did not face the Clan Invasion.[4]
