After the Truce of Tukayyid they continued to serve as a raiding force, stinging the Falcons and Clan Wolf forces in a series of raids. Though successful, they lost many men and machines during the six year tour on the Clan front.[2]

Civil War
The 22nd Avalon Hussars didn't care for Katherine Steiner-Davion's politics, but as soldiers they were honor-bound to uphold the chain of command.[4] The homeworld of the 22nd Avalon Hussars was Bromhead, a posting they shared with the 2nd Davion Guards. To prevent the two units from coming to blows, they both left the world. The 22nd Hussars landed on Talon, where they fought the 7th FedCom RCT and were damaged. The 22nd also dispatched a brigade of troops to New Avalon to defend the Archon, but that unit was destroyed. In 3067, they were rebuilding on Crofton with materials produced on Talon.[5]
Jihad
In 3076 the severely understrength 22nd Avalon Hussars, along with the FSS New Syrtis, were redeployed to New Syrtis.[6] There they absorbed the remains of the 20th Avalon Hussars to rebuild themselves. Whether the 22nd Hussars were reorganized along the lines of the AFFS' new "battalion combat teams" is unclear at this time. No explicit reference to such a reorganization exists and the unit is referred to as existing as a whole on New Syrtis, but the 22nd isn't listed as an active unit in the Avalon Hussars listing.[7]
Officers
As of 3062 the commanding officer was Marshal Donna Iona, who had been in command since 3053. She was later promoted and Vice Admiral Solomon D'Angelo assumed command.[8]
Tactics
The 22nd Avalon Hussars lacked any tactical specialties. Instead the focused on being skilled in a variety of terrains and environments.[9]
