This was a reflection of the reality that the Regulars could at any point be called on to fight against the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] or the [[Star League Defense Force]], as a result of the [[Benjamin Military District]] bordering the [[Federated Suns]], [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Terran Hegemony]]. This was even acknowledged by the [[Internal Security Force]], who gave the Fifteenth and the other regiments of the Regulars more leeway than the average [[DCMS]] unit - an attitude the Benjamin Regulars repaid by limiting complaints and criticism to supply issues and local concerns, rather than anything to do with politics.<ref name="FR2765p10"/> ===Third Succession War=== In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Xinyang]].<ref name=HKDCp135/> ===Fourth Succession War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Ronin Wars=== {{Sectionstub}} ===War of 3039=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Clan Invasion=== During the [[Clan Invasion]], the Fifteenth was posted on [[Xinyang]]<ref name="20yr42"/>, and was staggeringly unprepared for combat.
