Prior to the [[Clan Invasion]], the '''Freemen''' was a [[brigade]] of medium weight [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s of the [[KungsArmé]].<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 48</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
A regiment of the Freemen were stationed in each of the Free Rasalhague Republic's three provinces prior to the Clan Invasion.<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 51</ref> Two of the regiments were destroyed during the Clan Invasion but after the [[Truce of Tukayyid]] the FRR poured most of its efforts rebuilding into the Second Freemen.<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 70</ref> None of the Freemen has ever retreated from combat.<ref name=cmk>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 69</ref> Before the [[FedCom Civil War]] the only Freemen unit that was in service was the Second Freemen.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 92</ref><br />
<br />
After the [[Clan Ghost Bear]]/[[Free Rasalhague Republic]] integration, the KungsArmé reorganized itself into three Clan style Galaxies. This reorganization resulted in the creation of three Freemen Clusters. All three Clusters were assigned to [[Taiga Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Taiga Galaxy]].<ref>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 23</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 128</ref><ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 105</ref><br />
<br />
This process was only partially complete in [[3076]] when the survivors of [[Clan Ice Hellion]] started raiding Republic worlds. Kavalleri, Freemen, and Drakøn Clusters eventually drove the Hellions off of [[Holmsbu]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 70</ref><br />

==Tactics==<br />
Though specific tactics vary by unit, in general the Freemen try to strike a balance between speed and firepower in their 'Mech and armor forces.<ref name=cmk/><br />
