History
Early Years
Got it's nickname from serving as the honor guard for ilKhans Nicholas Kerensky and Jerome Winson whenever they traveled in Ghost Bear territory.[1]
Operation Revival
In the lead up to the invasion of the Inner Sphere, the Third Guards fought in the Trials that determined which Corridor the Ghost Bears would receive.[1]
The Third Bear Guards fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave Two
The Third Bear Guards faced militia troops on Trondheim.[2]
Wave Four
On Casere the Third faced the fanatically loyal Second Husars of the Free Rasalhague Republic in September 3050. Using their light elements to to harass the 3rd Guards, the Hussars lured the Cluster into an old industrial sector where their heavier elements waited in reinforced positions. The close-quarters fighting negated the superior range and speed advantage of the Third's Clan-Tech, but not the Cluster's heavy firepower. With both sides refusing to retreat, the Third were forced to destroy the Second Hussarsto a man.[3] [2]
Wave Five
After rebuilding for a year the Third Guards (and all of Alpha Galaxy) attacked Alshain. The defending 2nd Sword of Light frustrated the Third Guards attempts to take the Fareer Canyons for several months. Finally it appeared as if the Second had retreated and the Third Guards pursued them. This was a trap however, and the Second inflicted serious losses on the Third Guards before withdrawing.[4]
Tukayyid
Fought the 308th Com Guard Division on the advance to Spanac.
Officers
As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Sarah DelVillar[1]. She replaced Hunter Tseng who had commanded the Third for more than ten years, and who subsequently took command of first the 139th Striker Cluster and then Omega Galaxy.

The command can counter the actions of enemy formation with equal or superior reactions.[1] The Cluster will undertake any means necessary to secure victory.
