History
Operation Revival
The Cluster was relegated to rear area duties and escort missions in the early stages of the invasion, but fought hard on Tukayyid partly in response to their earlier inactivity.[1]
Tukayyid
During the fighting in the Racice Delta with Beta Galaxy they suffered horrendous casualties, with barely two Stars of MechWarriors and Elementals returning from facing the ComGuards.[1]
Post Tukayyid
In July 3052 [2] the Guards were split with two Trinaries each trying to defend Schuyler and Caripare. [3] Those on Caripare had no end of Trials against the neighbouring Nova Cats. [1]
Operation Bulldog
Wave Two
- Caripare - Seeing collusion between Clan Nova Cat and Second Star League forces the Guards Trinaries pulled back to join the rest of their Cluster on Schuyler.[4]
Wave Three
- Schuyler - The Guards joined with elements of Nu Galaxy and while putting up a strong defence were ultimately forced off planet by Inner Sphere forces in August 3059.[5]
Huntress
Elements of the 2nd Jaguar Guards Cluster formed part of Hang Mehta's forces on Huntress in 3060, [6] where they were finally wiped out.

Notes
- Not mentioned in the early stages of Operation Revival it is possible they were assigned to Beta Galaxy after the disgrace of the 3rd Attack Cluster early in the campaign at Turtle Bay.
