ALCON:
Welcome to the 509th Hard Suit (HS) Battalion, Echo Company. 

Humpties, Dumpties, Eggheads, - Forget the insults,  You are now part of Hard Suits family.  The 509th HS Brigade, Echo CO first formed in 2059AL in support of OP Melted Popsicle, Pluto.  It later saw action and received multiple commendations  in over 50 missions in the revolt of the Exxon Infected on Titan.  E Co has provided security for the Pan-Olympic games on Mars in 64'.  Currently it is working to bring democracy to the splintered tribes in the heart of Omega 3.
  
Echo Company currently has 6, PIP-4000A4 Minx Class hardsuits, 16 Explosive Detection Working Dogs, and 33 Soldiers.  We are a combined arms unit mixing Infantry and Hard Suits.  In addition, given the insurgency's reliance on IED's we have the distinction of being the first 509th company to have Working dogs, Bomb Disposal, and Ballistic Cover/Entry Personnel.    

Please report to CW2 Eastbrook, 1st platoon HS OP for billeting issues before reporting.

I look forward to serving with you and welcome aboard!

    1. Khurasan makes the hardsuits, you can find them in the Earthdoom category.

  5. That's a nice balanced squad with the dog and heavy. Also, clever smoke.
