Description on Chubfrom Chub
The 1st Moreau Infantry Brigade was stood up by the United States Army in 1964 as a self-sufficient light infantry unit with the largest percentage of combat manpower being predator Moreau Morphs. On paper the unit was allotted 2,000 personnel, though that number in combat was typically much smaller. The unit served with distinction in Vietnam from 1964 until 1972. The unit was officially disbanded in 1975 and folded reflagged as the 4th Light Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division, the "Velvet Tigers," paying homage to the unit's most famous member "Mac" Caruso, of Velvet Fang.

- #112nd Platoon
Keys: , 2nd Platoon
Notable members:
1LT David "Butterbar" Hensley (Human) — Twenty-three years old, West Point class of '66, with the soft hands and clean conscience of a man who's never had to smell what a white phosphorus round does to a village. He means well, listens to his NCOs more than most, and might even survive long enough to become competent.
Sgt Alex Rodriguez (Wolf - Moreau) Senior squad leader of the platoon, Mac's right hand man when he's away. Has a wife and kids back home he hasn't seen for eighteen months but still loves fiercely.
SP4 Tomás "Tommy" Reyes (Moreau - Jaguar) — Machine Gunner, stocky and spotted, with a rosette pattern across golden fur and eyes that have seen too much for his twenty-nine years. He hums old corridos while he cleans his pig and has a wife in San Antonio who sends him jalapeño cornbread that he shares with no one.
PFC Winston "Drum" Oyelaran (Moreau - Hyena) — Tommy's assistant gunner, Nigerian-born, naturalized citizen, built like a fire hydrant with a laugh that sounds like grinding rocks. He carries four hundred rounds of linked 7.62 like it's nothing and has a philosophy degree from Howard that he never talks about.
Specialist Fourth Class Ellis "Sparks" Monahan (Moreau - German Shepherd) — Radioman, wiry and twitchy, ears permanently cocked toward whatever frequency Command is squawking on. He's got a talent for scrounging and a morphine habit he thinks nobody's noticed; Mac's noticed.
Private First Class Jerome "Jet" Washington (Moreau - Raven) — One of the rare avian morphs, coal-black feathers instead of fur, hollow bones that make him fast but fragile, eyes like polished obsidian. He's the best point man in the company when Mac needs a break, and he doesn't talk about what happened to the rest of his original unit at Pleiku.
Private First Class Daryl Kowalski (Human) — Draftee from Milwaukee, nineteen years old, pale as milk and jumpier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He volunteered for moreau units because the hazard pay might get his mom out of debt; whether he'll live long enough to send it home is still an open question.
- #12Colonel Keith "Razorback Actual" Grimm
Keys: Colonel Grimm, Razorback Actual, Grimm
The CO of 1st Moreau Infantry Battalion, the first Moreau officer in the US Army to see combat, and beloved by his men. He is a Rhodesian Ridgeback Moreau, standing 6' tall and proud. He routinely makes the rounds, going to every firebase and muck pit his troops are sent to, and rarely a few weeks go by without him firing his weapon in combat. He believes in leading from the front, and also believes more than just Moreaus need to fight this war. This belief has cost him any chance of earning a general's stars, he has long since stopped caring.
