| − | During Operation Revival the regiment was stationed on Hainfeld. The world was defended by a large garrison force, which lacked sufficient air defense capabilities. The assaulting Wolf Clan task force (Green Keshik, Nega and Dorbeng Garrison Clusters) made a night combat drop at the capital. The Freeman retreated off-world to avoid damage to the civilian infrastructure.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 66</ref>

| − | Both sides meets again on Carse in February 3052. The invaders (Red Keshik, 11th Wolf Guards, 37th Striker Cluster) landed far away from all important objectives. The CO of the Freeman used his scouts and set a series of engagements. The bad weather conditions hampered the Clan, preventing the use of its AeroSpace fighters. The Second inflicted serious damage on several Wolf Clan units before withdrawing to Ueda.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 69</ref>
