A tandem queue with a FIFO multiserver system at each stage, i.i.d. service times and a renewal process of external arrivals is shown to be regenerative by modeling it as a Harris-ergodic Markov chain. In addition, some explicit regeneration points are found. This generalizes the results of Nummelin in which a single server system is at each stage and the result of Charlot et al. in which the FIFO
