"My fellow Rimmers, we have faced a tough road since those early days of Amaris rebellion to The Great Retreat to the Clan Invasion and now this Jihad by Word of Blake seeking to take down mankind. We have as a nation survived our fall, We have risen from the darkest days to rebuild our worlds, our lives. Through dark times and good, We have survived. Now we look forward to the furture, we can not be lax in our duty to ourselves, our families, our nation. I am announcing the reformation of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th Light Lancers. The 1st, 4th and 5th Republic Fusiliers. The 2nd, 4th and 6th Republic Dragoons. These storied units will add to the nations defense against outside forces. Also i will be reinforcing the infantry, fighter and armor commands on several worlds. The current level of graduates will replace those who will be moving to their new postings and will begin the cycle anew. Under my direction we will not, i say again, will not add any new taxes or burdens on the populace."
