Saint Mary's Camelry Regiment (Santa Magdalena)

The Saint Mary's Camelry Regiment (Tiberian: Regimiento de Camellería de Santa María) is a regiment of the Santa Magdalenian Army. The regiment consists of two company-sized cavalry squadrons and one motorized artillery battery. The unit is unique within the Santa Magdalenian military for its camelry designation and rides military camels during ceremonial military functions and when fulfilling police duties.

The regiment was founded in 1887 as the personal guard of the Governor of Mojadulto with two battalions of cavalrymen mounted on camels. The camels were imported from Tiperyn, having originated in its colonial holdings on the northern coast of Kesh. These camels were initially imported as livestock and pack animals, although since the onset of widespread motorization of construction and agricultural work, they have become a pest animal. The camelry's camels have been kept domesticated and separate from their feral cousins, however, and have been selectively breed over the past century for size and coat.
