Editing Dolsene Rifles (section)

==Doctrine==

Due to the constant assaults from beyond the stars and need to maintain a flexible defence, the Dolsene Rifles use a highly unusual method of ‘offensive defence’. Regiments are assigned a point to anchor their defences upon. From these strongpoints the division would launch spoiling attacks against the foe, putting them on the back foot and forcing them to react and defend instead of assaulting in their full strength. When on the offensive the Dolsene Regiments attack from multiple vectors at once, using speed and surprise to force the enemy back, close in fire-fights being preferred over the dangers of close combat.

Although at the time of contact with the Fifth Legion these tactics were mainly being practised with mounted dragoons, the Dolsene Rifles were confident enough in their methods of war to preserve their tactics into the age of mechanised warfare.  Offers of tactical instruction by the [[Ciban Chasseurs]] were politely, but firmly, refused.

Their stubbornness and will to prevail in the face of adversity is reflected in their battle cry: ‘We are the Line!’
