Peace Brigade: Difference between revisions

Its first combat operation was as one of the units involved in the suppression of the [[Army of Common Men]] at the [[Battle of Khov]] precipitated by the arrest of locals protesting against extorsion at police checkpoints. For two days the Peace Brigade was set loose on Khov and shot upwards of 700 civilians and abducted the leaders of the riots, whose bodies were never recovered. After the successful pacification of Khov and with tensions flaring at the border with Rusana, the brigade was suddenly sent into combat alongside regular army units. Outfitted with surplus army equipment and ill prepared for the harsh conditions of frontline combat, the Peace Brigade suffered from tremendous attrition and were soon relegated to rear guard duties. It was during this time that it cemented its reputation for brutality and the general disregard for the rules of war.
