The 189th formed a part of XXIV Corps, Fifth Army, and in 2764, the unit was stationed on Asuncion[2] in District 1 of the Capellan Confederation Military Region.

The 189th took heavy losses during the Hegemony Campaign and the Liberation of Terra, particularly in Paris when the 8th Patriot Division forced the 189th into committing itself to a floor by floor clearing of a 50 floor building before detonating a tactical nuclear weapon, almost annihilating the division.[3] The division was disbanded by 2784 and elements of the division went on to join the Free Worlds League.[1]
