Prior to the [[Clan Invasion]], the '''Hussars''' were a brigade of light-medium weight [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s 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.<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 48</ref> Each province was home to one of the Hussar regiments and the brigade was adept at quick redeployment across their assigned zone.<ref name=CM-Kp68>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 68: "Husars"</ref>

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 [[DropShip]]s, and redeploy against the same enemy from a new direction or a new enemy force.<ref name=CM-Kp68/>

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]].<ref name=CM-Kp68/>

* [[2nd Hussars (Free Rasalhague Republic)|2nd Hussars]] - (Destroyed during Clan Invasion)

==Notes==
The Third Husars are sometimes noted as fighting on [[Satalice]], where they held off the [[13th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Thirteenth Wolf Guards]] for more than a month with ''[[Kapten]]'' [[Ragnar Magnusson]].<ref>''More Tales of the Black Widow'', pp. 28–51</ref> This is in error and later sources make it clear that the [[Third Drakøns]] was the only force to spar with the famed [[Natasha Kerensky|Black Widow]], and the Third Hussars as one of two units that did not face the Clan Invasion.<ref name=FMC-71-3H-1>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 71: "3rd Hussars: Untested Veterans"</ref>
