Overview:

The Helena Dragoons of the Imperial 1st Regiment have long since maintained a unit of professionals. The Brigades of the Regiment have maintained multiple main assault and component services in order to sustain an overall unit's strength. For most brigades, these individual services are categorized as billets, a position given to a Lieutenant to command. Though these billets can often operate by themselves, certain forces require additional personnel in order to maintain their ability to accomplish objectives. Organized by Captain Galbraith and Lieutenant d’Azor, The 31st Reconnaissance Section is a new component service of the 3rd Brigade responsible for the duties formerly occupied by Vanguard occupation. This new organization serves as the main Scouting organization for the 3rd Helena Dragoons, and is used by the Intelligence services of the Empire for military operations regarding action behind enemy lines.

Unit Objectives:

The goals of the Imperial State Armies 31st Reconnaissance Section are that of scouting, intelligence gathering, intelligence analysis, and covert operations. The soldiers of the Reconnaissance section are given a certain level of autonomy in their operations because of their unique situation of occupational speciality to which they use to plan, present, and execute operations for the benefit of Orenian Intelligence on a foe. These plans will often be pitched to the High Command of the ISA as well as the Captain of the Brigade before being executed. Each soldier within the 31st Reconnaissance Section is also expected to be able to act semi independently when found behind enemy lines. These expectations are met with the utmost professionalism by each member of the 31st, with forces expected to conceal, coordinate, and achieve their objectives.

Captain Robert Archibald Galbraith would nod peering at the missive approvingly "Great work as usual." he would exclaim alone in his Office.

"Spiffing!" exclaimed Anne Caroline from her office, trying to copy Robert Archibald's usual comments.

Captain Robert Archibald Galbraith would shake his head as he heard Lieutenant Anne Caroline imitating him from upstairs in the ISA Office block "Dammit am I that predictable? I was about to say that."

Sofia Teufel would grin as she'd read it as she cleaned up her equipment. "That same Lieutenant keeps rising and rising- for good reasons too. I hope he keeps the good-work up."

[kuerbis 3802]

"Robert, let's go for a cuppa' when I'm done with this paperwork!" yelled Anne from upstairs.

[𝖂𝖆𝖌𝖜𝖆𝖓 740]

Captain Robert Archibald Galbraith would shout back in return "Sure sounds good, just let me finish this, you see, I have a tad bit more to go!"

Meeting after meeting, document after document, war plans - city affairs and all of the like took the Archchancellor’s day. Just as the man would move to take a few moments of rest, an aide would bring forth a missive from his very son Leon. A sharp smile took on his face as he felt energized to the take on the next challenge. “Leon my boy, shall you continue to impress your father and your country.” He would smile as he asked for the next file to be brought before him. 

[Imperium 3495]

Captain Ruthern smiles, "Well done young Leon, you have a promising future."

"It's a good day to be a dragooner." Sergeant Ezekiel Moores says, grinning as he places the new green-feathered beret on his head.
