ESU Desantniki

Well, I promised this a while back, but Real Life
interfered in the form of a quick AVLB Cert field
problem.  We made the front page of the Texas Life
section of the Kileen Herald (quotes from a guy in my
squad, picture of a SGT from B Company hooking up
hydraulic lines on a bridge), which beats 1-7 Cav
which made the front page of the Kileen Herald and
caused my aunt to flip out and call me asking if I
were alive.  That was actually on the next range
over--we sat around yesterday wondering why all the
emergency vehicles were driving around.  For those who
aren't close enough to Ft Hood to hear about this (I
have no idea how much play this is getting in
national-level media), a 19-year old PV2 M1A1 driver
got burned to death in a vehicle fire yesterday.  No
one knows how or why it caught fire--and the kid's
parents still havn't been notified, or his name would
be released by now.

Kyrie Eleison.

But anyway:  All this stuff has Russian-style
designations.  I don't understand Chinese designations
even superficially and frankly am not terribly
interested in them.  Yes, I know Russian airborne are
IFV-mounted.  That's my next project, a regiment of an
Airborne Division in IFVs.  After that, seperate and
divisional Motorized Rifle Regiments and Tank
Regiments, then maybe Chinese-style motorized
regiments and light infantry.  This thing is a bit
more work than I was planning on from the get-go, is
anyone else terribly interested in this or should I
stick to my (mostly completed) Romans in Space?  Also,
should I stick to SGII organizations, or should I also
put together the DSII organization, or should I do
DSII only?

Eurasian Solar Union Guards Airborne Regiments are
fairly well distributed among the ESU colonies,
serving both as standard light infantry and in the
airborne role.	Airborne Regiments also spearhead many
planetary assaults.

Those Airborne Regiments which are part of Airborne
Divisions are generally IFV-mounted and typically are
used as spearhead forces for assaults.	They have a
different organization from that listed below.	

Non-airborne trained regiments with a simillar
organization are generally referred to as Rifle
Regiments and are second-line forces.

Usually when powered armor is available it is grouped
together in 1 of the battalions which is then used as
the main assault element.

Brigade Assets are summarized with major end items
listed, as are battalion support elements.
