Armed Forces of Dalcour (Dalcour Military)
The Government of Dalcour is obliged to contribute troops to the Tamarind Defense Forces. Two 'mech companies with a forward support battalion are rotated each year to serve in a location assigned by the Tamarind Defense Forces Command. Usually the Dalcour Task Force is assigned a garrison duty on a planet that has a low threat level (the Tamarind Defense Forces assign their regular troops to all hot spots).
The forward support battalion has a technical company (a mech maintenance staff assigned to the two 'mech companies), a support company and a combat support company to provide a recon element and base security.
The 'mech companies that are rotated in the Tamarind Defense Forces service are the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd 'Mech company from the 1st Guard Regiment, the 1st Strike company and the 2nd Storm company from the 3rd Assault Element, and the 11th Protector Company from the 4th Protector Regiment and the 12th Protector Company from the 8th Protector Regiment. The only 'mech company that is not rotated is the 4th Fury company of the 3rd Assault Element, as it is graded only as a training cadre.
One of the 1st Guard Regiment 'mech companies is rotated each year, and the other company rotates from the 3rd Assault Element or from either the 4th or 8th Protector Regiments.
