Lechia Batalion
The Lechia Battalion is former Home Army unit that landed with US 2MARDIV from Germany. Upon arrival they were sent inland to assist other XI Corps units, accomplishing their task with distinction. At some point however, the unit's only long range radio was lost, leaving them unaware that a general retreat had gotten underway. By the time they returned to the Gdansk area the last ship had departed. Lechia's commander then promptly took half of the unit and started marching west. The deputy commander kept the remainder of the troops in Gdansk. The latter force has since become an important part in defending Gdansk's western approaches. Larger than most, they are also one of the best equipped militias. It was once thought that Lechia would merge with the IB, but for reasons that are unclear, in actuality the two have migrated further apart. There is a rumor that the CIA is attempting to persuade the unit to head west and link up with the US/CivGov XI Corps pocket.
Approximate Strength: 100
Current Allegiance(s): Unknown (technically NATO)
Notes: Lechia Batalion has mortar and other heavy weapons support
