Dragoons are a hybrid regiment of cavalry and infantry. They primarily use horses. Their loadout consists of the Carbine, Shortsword, and Horse. The carbine has the shortest kill range at 125 studs but also has the quickest reload at 6 seconds. The carbine also has the least amount of bullet drop making it very good for precision shooting. The shortsword is a mini sabre that does 45 damage making it take 3 hits to kill. It is slower swinging than the knife but faster than a sabre. Dragoons has many unique things to it. Dragoons has their own unique hat and is the only regiment without a tricorn, they have the most customizable regimental training camp, and they have some of the most dedicated people in the CA.

===== Real Life History =====

The **2nd Continental Light Dragoons**, also known as **Sheldon's Horse** after Colonel Elisha Sheldon, was commissioned by the Continental Congress on 12 December 1776, and was first mustered at Wethersfield, Connecticut, in March 1777 for service with the Continental Army. The regiment consisted of four troops from Connecticut, one troop each largely from Massachusetts and New Jersey, and two companies of light infantry.

===== Training Camp Lore =====

**Mayor Election **- In July of 2024, Dragoons HICOM hosted an event where 4 people were selected to run for Dragoons TC Mayor. Eventually Billysilly won. The mayor would work with the lead dev to get the requests of the Dragoons Members added to the game. Soon after, Billy left Dragoons leaving Sidedisch21 as the Mayor where he stayed mayor until April 10th, 2025, where IICrxn_Berriez won the most recent election hosted by Twonkalicous. As of now, the mayor gets their own office in the training camp town hall building.

**Murder Mystery 2024** - In October 2024, there was a murder mystery event on the Training Camp where players would find the dead body of Twonkalicous behind the Cavalry Corner building. The player would follow the notes of Twonkalicous to find out who murdered him. The player would eventually find the ripped apart dead body of at the time, Major, DanielDNAOP. The player would then go and read notes in front of every statue in the Hall of Fame where the final note in front of the statue of Tonylicious would hint at the murder of Twonkalicous. Upon going to Tony's Major statue you would find another note. Going back to Tony's HOF statue you would I found behind it a note with a code on it. Going to a remote house near the small town and putting in the code would show you a dead and hanging, Tonylicious. The reward for this was a Badge which had a medal bound to it. This event is not canon to the training camp.

**Secret Codes 2024** - Alongside the Murder Mystery event was also the Secret Codes Quest. In this quest the player could find 10 notes around the map that were all riddles. Each note was numbered 1-10 and the answer to all the riddles was a number 0-9. Upon putting the code in the board at spawn you would get a badge which also unlocked the limited time Ghost horse saddle which turns your entire horse into a ghost.

**Live Event 2024** - Over the course of a week in December of 2024, the Dragoons Training Camp had a meteor slowly move into the atmosphere of the game. This was alongside at a 1 week countdown timer. The meteor hit the Dragoons Town and completely demolished it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNH7yZiG5Pk|Live Event Video]]

**What's Up Ranger** What's Up Ranger was a propaganda video made for a CA regiment propaganda contest. The winning regiment would be given 500 robux to divide evenly. Dragoon's video was made by Sidedisch21 with a cinematic video showcasing the training camp. This used the song "What's Up Danger" which is where the video gets its name from. This video was unmatched to all the other videos submitted and is recognized as one of, if not the best modern CA propaganda videos.

===== The Hall of Fame =====

**Greatest Idols**

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 〜 [[people:Nicolas Genova|Nicolas Genova]] 〜 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Nicolas Genova was an excellent Colonel-in-Command for the Dragoons. However, most of the time that he shone, was when Nicolas stepped up to do higher up jobs as an officer. When the HICOM was never around to do events, he would step in and make sure that dragoons ran smoothly and efficiently. We love you Noodle Boi.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 〜 [[people:twonkalicous|Twonkalicous]] 〜 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Twonk was the longest (and still reigning) Colonel of Dragoons. He achieved the largest rallies that Dragoons had ever had. Dragoons was the most active that it had ever been at this point and during season 10 led us to get the best score that we had ever received. Twonk was an amazing leader and it showed through the promotion he received to BGEN in the middle of his career. We all love you Twonk, never leave us.

**Key influencers**

⭐  ⭐ 〜 [[people:billysilly573|billysilly573]] 〜 ⭐ ⭐

Billy silly is former BGEN for 3rd brigade, former XO and current Major of dragoons. You cannot fathom how much this man has put towards this regiment in the past years of its open. He has seen dragoons grow, and diminish. But yet he still comes back every single time. Well done Billy.

⭐ ⭐ 〜 [[:people:myfriendjeff44|Myfriendjeff44]]〜 ⭐ ⭐

Jeff was here just as long as twonk and has stayed loyal to the Continental Light Dragoons, returning back the moment it reopened. He befriended almost everybody upon joining and kept a tight and strict schedule for everyone when first getting officer. After the shut down, he returned back to his home regiment and stood by his CO’s side (twonk) as his XO for as long as time. Later moving on to becoming their BGEN.

⭐ ⭐ 〜 [[people:Jguisin|JGuisin]]〜 ⭐ ⭐

This is the second Brazilian man to be in the Hall of Fame. He was a good leader and stayed in the regiment for quite a while. He helped us to do better in Season VI than we have ever done before. He was a great combatant, leader, and friend among many people. Lets just see if we put any more Brazilian people in this Hall of Fame.

**Notable Personnel**

⭐ 〜[[people:Xygamer127|Xygamer127]]〜 ⭐

This man is underrated within the dragoons Officer corps. With extreme combat worthy of LOM, this man has changed dragoons for the greater good. Some may call him an unhinged nerd, but this nerd single handedly helped us to crowns with amazing leadership and honorable combat skill. Brilliant levels of effort within Dragoons, he has truly broken the “Major curse”

⭐ 〜[[people:Tonylicious|Tonylicious]]〜 ⭐

Tony was and still is one of the highest quality combatants that dragoons has ever seen. Being an OG member, he has befriended and is loved by everyone in Dragoons. He is a good quality soldier, and an amazing friend. Winning combat tournaments left-right-and center, Tony is surely a force not to be reckoned with. We love you Tony!

⭐〜[[people:Sidedisch21|Sidedisch21]]〜⭐ He may not be the best combatant, or best behaved(mild autism?). But he shows faithfulness towards dragoons and dedication no-one can match. He has been the centerpiece of development and the community for some time now, and without him, not much would get done.

⭐ 〜[[people:yomo238|yomo238]]〜 ⭐

He has always been a notable officer to all CA, and after leading Rifles successfully as CO he managed to improve CA even more being part of the HQ core. Yomo founded and was CO of the actual 2nd Continental Light Dragoons with TheAmazeman13379.

⭐ 〜[[people:TheAmazeman13379|TheAmazeman13379]]〜 ⭐

Amazeman, with yomo, structured the entire Dragoons acting CO when yomo was unable to command it. He proved extreme competence as administrator of the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons.

⭐ 〜[[people:Lurastan|Lurastan]]〜 ⭐

Lurastan was the 4th CO of 2nd Continental Light Dragoons. Under his Colonelship we won our first victory in a Raid. He brought quality in combat for the first time in our regiment.
