==History==

=== Star League Era ===
Of the various [[brigade]]s of Regulars active within the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] during the [[Star League era]], the [[regiment]]s of the Benjamin Regulars - including the '''First Benjamin Regulars''' - were considered to be the most flexible. This was a reflection of the reality that the Regulars could at any point be called on to fight against the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] or the [[Star League Defense Force]], as a result of the [[Benjamin Military District]] bordering the [[Federated Suns]], [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Terran Hegemony]]. This was even acknowledged by the [[Internal Security Force]], who gave the First and the other regiments of the Regulars more leeway than the average [[DCMS]] unit - an attitude the Benjamin Regulars repaid by limiting complaints and criticism to supply issues and local concerns, rather than anything to do with politics.<ref name="FR2765p10"/>

==Tactics==

=== 2765 ===
The First Benjamin Regulars favored a strong combined-arms approach, but otherwise were a generalist unit, and deliberately fielded a wide range of [[BattleMech]] classes to encourage adaptation to changing circumstances.<ref name="FR2765p10"/>
