The 37th was stationed on [[Pondicherry]] when the invasion of the Alliance began and was deployed forward to pacify the population of [[Bad News]] in 2581.<ref name="H:RWp110">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 110-111, "Fait Accompli(shed)"</ref> The 37th was then tasked with the invasion of [[Haynesville]] in [[2582]], and landed on the 7th of February 2582. Initially, the 37th appeared to make quick progress towards securing Haynesville, but these efforts stumbled over the 14th and 15th of February as local militia forces staged a series of attacks. Haynesville was one of a number of worlds pledged to become protectorates of the [[Federated Suns]] under the terms of the secret [[Tancredi Accord]], and the local militia had been extensively trained in secret for four months prior to the arrival of the 37th by [[Captain]] [[Joshua March]], a trained [[AFFS]] officer.<ref name="H:RWp120">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 120, "Haynesville"</ref>

After these initial attacks by the militia, the 37th halted combat operations for a week while infantry units were deployed forward alongside the [['Mech]] and [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] forces, a week that the militia used to score a number of victories against the 37th, including the defeat of a complete mixed [[company]] of 'Mechs and armor at the Braszos water plant, as well as twice deflecting attempts by the 37th to follow the standing order issued by the SLDF Task Force commanding officer, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], to punish resistance to SLDF forces by leveling civilian towns and cities.<ref name="H:RWp120"/>

In early March, the Haynesville militia received reinforcements in the form of a detachment from the [[Pitcairn Legion]], who immediately began working with the militia forces to generate the impression that the 37th were up against substantial forces. By staging multiple attacks and disguising damage to Legion 'Mechs by cosmetic means, the Alliance forces successfully deceived [[Lieutenant General]] [[Thomas Sexton]], the 37th's commanding officer, into believing that he was facing a force with superior numbers. By the 27th of March, the 37th was running low on supplies and had received no word of reinforcements, leading Sexton to formally surrender to the Pitcairn Legion on the 29th of March.<ref name="H:RWp120"/>
