Clan Invasion
During the Clan Invasion the 2nd An Ting Legion was stationed on Tanh Linh with the 42nd Dieron Regulars. The two units expected to have a peaceful rotation after the Truce of Tukayyid, but the 3rd Jaguar Cavaliers attacked the world just two weeks after the Truce went into effect.[1]
Using their skill at night fighting to frustrate the Smoke Jaguars, the 2nd played a game of cat and mouse with the Jaguars, never staying in one place very long and keeping the Clan unit off-balance. Finally after a week of these tactics, the Smoke Jaguars pinned the 42nd Dieron Regulars against a mountain range and started blasting them to bits. The Second An Ting Legion slammed into the rear of the Jaguar unit, capturing it between the two DCMS units and driving it offworld. This was one of the earliest victories against the Clans, but a bittersweet one; The 42nd Dieron Regulars were destroyed and the Second suffered heavy losses.[1]
The Second An Ting was rotated to Leiston to rebuild. This rebuilding effort resulted in the Legion having a large amount of upgraded Inner Sphere equipment.

Dominion War
The Second An Ting Legion fought the 5th Bear Regulars on Richmond. The Bears inflicted serious losses on the Legion, but a strike to the Bear's rear area by the 2nd Sword of Light forced the Bear Regulars to withdraw.[2]

Jihad
In late 3077 the Second An Ting Legion reinforced the 10th Pesht Regulars in their attack on Qandahar. While there, the two units expelled Black Dragon Society supporters and held the planet under martial law until a new civilian government could be installed. [3] They spent the next year hunting down Black Dragon supporters on Virentofta, McAlister, and Bangor before being assigned to garrison Bjarred. Later in 3078 the Second and the 1st Arkab Legion arrived to reinforce the 10th Pesht Regulars, who were fighting on Korramabad. The Second's members were totally disgusted by what they saw on the world. To clean the honor of the Combine, the Second subordinated themselves to the 1st Arkab Legion and supported the Legion assault on Slaithwaite.[4]
After that attack, the Second split into battalions and garrisoned Korramabad, Gravenhage and Hartshill.[4]
Officers
In 3067 the commander of the Second An Ting Legion was Tai-sa Erik Schmidtt.[5]
Tactics
The Second An Ting Legion specialized in night operations and engaging multiple enemies at once. It wasn't unusual for the members of the Second An Ting to put so much fire on so many targets that the enemy thought they were being attacked by a battalion rather than a company.[1]
