6th Arcadian Background

The 6th is, according to Departmento Munitorum records, a regiment of infantry that has been merged numerous times with its brothers from other units. It has members from the 1st through 8th Arcadian regiments. These regiments, along with the 6th, formed the 1st Arcadian Rifle Division that was sent to the planet of Armageddon at the start of the Third War. Because the regiments that made up the division were armored, mechanized, infantry, and artillery, the 6th Arcadian has become an evenly mixed regiment with effective fighting formations from all unit types. The backbone of the regiment is formed by four Infantry Companies. With single armored and mechanized companies for fast assaults. The regiment has ten companies lettered A through J as all Arcadian infantry and has an addition eleventh company numbered 13. This is a fluke that is unique to the 6th Arcadian. Rumors of reinforcements from Arcadia have persisted for a while, but this would an unheard of first for an Arcadian Regiment to be reinforced in the field by fresh troops and only remains even remotely possible due to the fame the officers and men of the current 6th Arcadian have gained.
