The Third was understrength prior to war start and remained that way through first three years of constant fighting. The unit was station Draconis March during this period. It joined the 1st Ceti Hussars in assaults on Bryceland and lated paripated in defending Cassias against Draconis Combine reprisals raid. The unit remained understrength, but operational due to absorbing survivors of the 4th and 5th Davion Guards.
[edit] Officers
In 3011, the unit CO was Prince Hanse Davion. Starting as Lance Commander, the Prince steadily rose through the unit thanks to his unorthodox but highly successful tactics. The Prince however was only to hold command for less than a year upon being appointed Military Governor of New Aragon. [1]
As of 3062 the Commanding Officer was Leftenant General Margeurite McCaffe.
