The Bandersnatches at the time they became full memebers of the order, were only a battalion of mechs.   Per rereading about them in the Comstar Sourcebook and House Kurita Handbook.

Also dont forget in 2788 they had 8 full divisions of personnel and equipment of which 4 were battlemech divisions.  and Jerome Blake also recruited several Mercenary Units.  also they had the remnants of a Battlemech division the 251st.    they captured 2 more Mechanized Divisions in South America.  though they and the 13th Royal Division took heavy losses.    after 72 hrs Terra was Comstar's.   at which time they broadcast to every Nation they took over Terra, showing the Former SLDF divisions and mecernaries working for Comstar.  so what happened to 10 divisions of men and women who ultimately joined comstar????
per the comstar housebook.

Probably off to the mines... :o

I'm sure some were integral to the creation of ROM, became the rebuilding core of TerraSec, or provided subtle security for HPG stations, but mostly I think they just retired. Given the fact that most of these troops just fought a decade long war to reclaim the Hegemony, I'm sure the conquest of Terra for ComStar was their last hurrah.

And were they at full strength?

The sourcebook doesn't give a specific number of troops per unit, but rather an overall number. Truthfully, what matters is that they were clearly staffed with enough personnel to be viable combat effective units. That's the important bit.

yes i would say the quote "8 Full Divisions" would constitute they were at full strength.

Then ComStar has to find new troops and in order to boost their efficiency (and having access to shipyards) gives to each Lance a Flight, making this their basic unit.
