[edit] War of 3039
Together with his sister unit the 8th Ghost forced the suprised FedCom troops from Sadalbari. The 3rd Fedcom suffer the most damage and against two advancing DCMS units even the 5th Davion could only retreat without available reinforcement.[1]
[edit] Clan Invasion and Destruction
While not able to penetrate the security surrounding the Ghost Regiments, Wolfnet believed that immediately prior to the Clan Invasion that the 8th Ghost was stationed along side the 7th on Byesville in the Pesht Military District. [2]
The 8th would suffer horrendous losses against Clan Smoke Jaguars on McAlister, losing six companies during the fight, the commander could only save a single Battalion which would remain stationed on McAlister as of 3054. [3] Rather than rebuild the 8th, the DCMS High Command eventually decided to merge the survivors into the 10th Ghost, which also suffered some losses during a raid into the occupation zone. [4]
