The 8th Tyran Armored Royal Cuirassiers is where most members of social elite families are sent in the COG Army. Unlike other units who have fazed out the C1 Desipich MBT in favor of the Centaur the 8th still uses them as their main tank. Also the 8th have a history of being strongly disliked by Gears and civilians alike for being one of the only units to not be a part of any major battle or operation and the poor treatment and protection of civilians but it all changed when their commander Colonel Ken Lee was killed during E-Day and was replaced by the battle hardened and famed Major Harris Salazar. With a new leader and soldiers with purpose and a new found purpose to avenge their fallen the 8th Tyran ARC became a force to be reckoned with, still Gears we're doubtful of them but all questions were hushed in Operation Midnight where the Easy 8th as they soon would be called showed skill, bravery, and determination there former commander could never even dream of.
