==Notable Regiments==
*[[===Brimlock 4th Dragoons Regiment===742.M41 - Involved in the Damocles Gulf Crusade.<sup>3</sup> They also participated in Operation Hydra. ===Brimlock 8th Dragoons Regiment|===998.M41 - The regiment was assigned to the 4621st Imperial Army, XI Corps during the Taros Campaign. The XI Corps was to assemble after the X Corps had departed and act as a second wave for the invasion. The 8th was selected because of its experience in fighting the Tau around the Damoclese Gulf. In the event the campaign on Taros had collapsed before the 8th could arrive.<sup>1</sup> ===Brimlock 17th Dragoons]] Regiment === circa 750.M41 - During the [[Taros CampaignDamocles Crusade]] (on the world of Sy'l''1''')*[[Kell, and armoured column of the Brimlock 17th Dragoons Regiment|17th Brimlock Dragoons Regimentwere in transit to the front lines from their landing zone when they were ambushed by [[Kroot]]. The columns forward scouts were eliminated by Kroot Carnivires before they could get a warning off to the regiment following behind. As the main body of the regiment pushed through a narrow forested defile, the Kroot fell on them. Three Kroot kindred were involved in the attack. Surprise was complete, scores were killed in the opening moments of the ambush. Colonel Konstantin Griffin and [[Commissar]] - Anti-Tau Campaigns Eigerman ('''2'''alt. Eurbayn)*quickly recovered and held the Imperial line long enough to fight clear of the trap. From then on the column was contiually harried by the Kroot, until Colonel Griffin linked up with the [[Space Marines]] of the [[Scythes of the Emperor]]. By the time the columns linked up, the regiment had lost 2 Scout vehicles, 30 Guardsmen and Commissar Eigerman. The Commissar was air lifted out with severe wounds. With the two Imperial forces combined the Kroot faded away deeming the combined strength too much for direct confrontation. With the space marines in hot pursuit of the forces of the first ambush, a second ambush was sprung on the column. This time the Kroot were backed up by Armoured vehicles of the Tau. Colonel Griffin is killed and his column destroyed.<sup>2</sup> ===Brimlock 19th Dragoons Regiment|19th Brimlock Dragoons Regiment===[[Damocles Crusade]] - The regiment was left behind in Tau space after Crusade forces withdrew to be redeployed against Hive Fleet Behemoth. According to Tau propaganda, the regiment surrendered after all of their Commissars had (allegedly) been killed in Combat and was allowed to settle a world under the control of the [[Tau]]. Private Jeakim Slovaz, listed as MIA in the Damocles Crusadefronted this propaganda broadcast decades after the conflict and was declared [[Excommunicate Tratoris]] ('''.<sup>3''')</sup>
