In actuality an upgraded garrison, the First Aragon Borderers are stationed on the Capellan March border world of New Aragon. The unit has been deployed off world, but has been most effective as a counter-insurgency force and short-range strike force.
Contents
History
Formation
Created by adding BattleMechs to a militia unit on New Aragon to help the planet fight off raids by the Capellan Confederation.[1]
Fourth Succession War
During the second wave of Operation Rat they captured Hunan. The defending 1st Battalion of the Freemont's Cuirassiers made the invasion difficult, only the arrival of the supporting double company from the Davion Light Guards RCT saved the day.[2]
War of 3039
Watched the Capellan border during the entire war to counter any CCAF incursion.[1]

Operation Guerrero
They continued to fight so-called freedom fighter, because the joint invasion of Liao/Marik goes on.[1]
Operation Bulldog
They battled the Smoke Jaguars during the Operation first on Almunge, supported by the First Amphigean Light Assault Group. On Coudoux they fought alongside the Second Sword of Light, Com Guards Thirty-fourth Division, and the First Amphigean LAG against the Jaguars' Eighth Garrison Cluster. After that, they and the First Amphigean LAG attacked Staplefield, supported by the First Free Worlds Guards.[3]
FedCom Civil War
The Third FedCom RCT was defeated after the combined might of the Borderers and the Twelfth Vegan Rangers Alpha Regiment battled them to the ground.[4] Their losses were heavy but with the battlefield salvage the command could rebuild to former strength.[5]
Jihad
New Aragon was assaulted by Word of Blake forces in 3069.[6] The Borderers were on the world at the time, rebuilding from damage they'd taken as part of Operation Sovereign Justice. The Borderers quickly took control of several Star League fortresses and began a hit and run campaign against the invading Blakists. The Blakist troops wanted to end the fight quickly, so they deployed several chemical weapons in the tunnels that connected the forts. These attacks destroyed the Aragon Borderers completely.[7]
