The 7th Skirmisher Regiment, also known as the Laser Kiwi Regiment, is a special forces regiment in the Furbish Army. Like other skirmisher regiments, it is tasked with performing special operations including capturing high value targets, counterinsurgency, operations behind enemy lines, special reconnaissance, training regular or irregular forces, and unconventional warfare. Members are primarily recruited from the southeastern Furbish Islands. The regiment was founded in 2016 and participated in the Niagaran Civil War.
