==History==
'''Ernst Vallejo''' rose to the rank of colonel of the [[First Calderon Guard]].

The First were based on [[Gaul]] for a number of years, and as such faced many of the pirate bands willing to run the risk presented by the ''[[Quixote]]''-class missile frigate [[Redemption|CPS ''Redemption'']] and attempt to raid the worlds of the Protectorate.

As a combined-arms unit, the First constantly trained to take full advantage of all the assets available to the regiment, particularly the basic tactical doctrine of using overlapping fields of fire from the [[Combat Vehicle|tanks]] and [[infantry]] to wear down attacking forces, rather than relying solely on their [[BattleMech]] assets.

Ernst Vallejo was demoted to [[brigadier]] and reassigned to command of the First's Second Battalion for forgetting – or ignoring – this doctrine during a pirate raid in [[3083]], when he led his unsupported 'Mechs out to face pirates. Ernst's victory cost the Guards more than a [[lance]] in casualties when the raiders outflanked the First and cut down a number of 'Mechs, casualties that could have been avoided if the First hadn't been forced to fight in a manner other than that taught by their years of drilling.<ref name="FM:3085p145">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 145: "First Calderon Guard''</ref>
