Iris Boarding School Complex Sensha-Do Team

The **Iris Boarding School Complex Sensha-Do Team**, a.k.a. the **Coileáin** (the cubs), is the Sensha-Do Team of the Iris Boarding School Complex in Fortham. The team was founded in 1989 and shares a love-hate-relationship with the Naval School Sensha-Do Team. 'Commander in chief' of the Team is Ida Taoiseach, the wife of the SDF-Army's Supreme Commander, General Ferris Taoiseach, who is one of the founding mothers of the Team.

Aside from the active roster, the Coileáin also maintains a small fleet of historic vehicles and armoured engineer vehicles to fulfill their obligations as part of the Younger Militia.

## History

The team was formed in 1938, originally as the *Motor-Vehicle Appreciation Society of the Iris Boarding School Complex*. The group received its first armoured vehicles, half a dozen Colúr-Tankettes, in 1940. Originally intended as the motorizedpart of the Iris' Younger Militia Contingent, these vehicles were maintained and operated by specialized crews.

In 1955, the Society received G 1 Caomnach and G 2 Cuachanach Halftracks to supplement the Colúrs, together with the first armoured vehicles intended for performing in a new sport called Tankery. With three Mealltach Reconnaissance Tanks, the *Tankery Section* participated in their first match in 1957, being wiped out by their opponents.

Not to be disencouraged, the *Tankery Section* continued its operations.

In 1992, the Team was founded as a seperate entity from the *Motor-Vehicle Appreciation Society of the Iris Boarding School Complex*. Ida Taoiseach was one of the founding mothers.

In 2019, the team was host for the first 2019 Iris Boarding School Complex Sensha-Do Convention.

On the 21st of December 2022, the Iris' Team fought the Streitkräftemuseum Dorch Sensha-Do Team in a small match on the Dearna Field. On the next day, both teams celebrated Cailleach's Feast on Trácheann Beach near Dumhach. The entire occassion became known as the 2022 Trácheann Beach Tank Party.

Co-Hosts: University of Fortham Sensha-Do Team (starting in 2022), GSCC (starting in 2055)
