I am doing a new pet project of mine after reading through some old source books.

The project is a review of all Houses military composition from 3025 onwards to 3067 (pre Jihad).

Sourcebooks used:
House Books
Field Manuals
20 year update
Objective Raids

In due respect to the scope of the project, I wanted to do something small first which would be House Liao or Capellan Confederation which is closer to my chinese roots. Hence we would look at House Liao first.

The Capellan Military (As of 3025)

The whole Capellan Military is placed under the aegis of the Ministry of Military. In the Capellan Military, there are three types of unit organizations: Regular Capellan Regiments, mercenary regiments and Warrior Houses Orders.

Units in House Liao are grouped into the following catergories.

1. Line Regiments
They form the standard combat units of the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces (CCAF). Most units report to one commonality or parent organiztion while there are others that are independent in nature. Examples of parent organizations are Capellan Hussars and Northwind Highlanders while independent units are Blackwind Lancers and Preston's Lancers.

2. Home Guard Regiments
They reserve as milita equivalent in specific Capellan Commonalities. They would employ vehicles and infantry in lieu of Battlemech and aerospace fighters. Their mission is to provide the first line of resistance against outside aggression. Though unable to hold up for long against Battlemech regiments, their purpose is to blunt the offensive until reinforcement arrive. In 3025, there are 124 Home Guard Regiments or 363 Battalions.

3. Mercenaries
Due to the nature of warefare in Inner Sphere, mercenaries are a neccessary evil to help pug the forces of each houses. In 3025, there are approximately 11 Regiments, 1 Battalion and 1 Company worth of mercenaries contracted to CCAF.

4. Warrior Houses
What can be said about the CCAF without the Warrior Houses? They are force apart from the rest of the CCAF where the word of the house master reign supreme. There are approximately 8 Warrior Houses (8 Mech Battalions, 8 Infantry Battalions) in CCAF as of 3025.

5. Death Commandoes.
The personal storm troopers of the Chancellor created in 2988. Their equal are DEST, Rabid Foxes or Loki, but the difference is that they want to be known and seen unlike the covert nature of their equivalents.

6. Milita Regiments
Each CC world maintains a milita regiment of 2 battalions to supplement any Home Guard or Line Regiments. Mostly consist of infantry or vehicles though equipped with least advanced equipment.

Battletech or War Material Production
Battlemech production is cruical for the survival of every sucession house. In case of House Liao, With only 8 eight factories or sites, their annual production come to a total of 400 battlemechs in theory. In practical, due to the shortage of supplies and raids by rival houses, the production figures may varies.
