Anton’s Revolt
The First Atrean Dragoons were deployed on Sophie's World to delay the forces loyal to Anton Marik during his revolt. At that time the First Dragoons were a heavy regiment that specialized in defensive tactics.[1] Alongside the 6th Marik Militia and the Head Hunters mercenary regiment, the First Dragoons faced the rebel 3rd Marik Militia as well as Wolf's Dragoons Delta and Epsilon regiments.[2] This action by the First Atrean Dragoons was nothing more than an attempt by Janos' forces to buy time for a counterattack. After tying down forces loyal to Anton for several months, Jaime Wolf reassigned his Alpha regiment to support Delta and Epsilon. The First Atrean Dragoons tried to break out past Alpha regiment, but were unsuccessful. The Delta regiment smashed into the Atrean Dragoon's rear, and the Atrean Dragoons were forced to surrender. The survivors were rounded up and sent to prison camps on New Delos.[3]

Andurien Secession
During the Andurien War, the First Atrean Dragoons was one of several units used to interdict supplies to the rebellious Duchy. Although they raided Shiro III and Conquista, they remained in reserve for the rest of the war.[4][5]

Operation Guerrero
Deployed to Asuncion during the Zion Crisis, the First ran into considerable resistance, including the murder of an entire infantry Squad which was patrolling the capital. The 'Mechs of the Dragoons were deployed in response, and the rebels escalated their attacks accordingly, until a mob stormed the Dragoons' compound on March 2, 3058, overrunning the infantry, and continuing despite numerous warning shots fired by the 'Mech Regiment. Eventually, two MechWarriors panicked, firing into the crowd, resulting in over two hundred civilian deaths. This incident became known as the Herat Massacre, and resulted in the First being rapidly pulled off the world.[5]
Despite being cleared of wrongdoing, the multiple investigations that occurred after the Herat Massacre resulted in very low morale for the entire unit. Tension between the First Dragoons and their supporting unit, Pfeister's Furies, led to increased friction between the two units.[6]
