The 39th moved to Lee to act as a reserve force, but wasn't called on to engage the CCAF.[1]

War of 3039

Clan Invasion

The 39th completed several combat resupply missions to resistance forces on Bone-Norman, Somerset, and Black Earth. These efforts, though successful, cost the 39th about a third of its DropShips.[2]

Operation Guerrero

Operation Bulldog

Civil War

The 39th allied with Victor Steiner-Davion, but didn't relocate to the Federated Suns. Instead they supported Peter Steiner-Davion in the Lyran Alliance. Though they didn't take place in the final battle of Tharkad, they did remain in orbit as reserve troops.[3] They later returned to the Federated Suns and were stationed on Wernke-Talon.[4]

Jihad

The Blackwind Lancers destroyed the 39th on Wernke-Talon with several thermonuclear strikes.[5]
