Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The 3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry’s founding is somewhat of a mystery although they were stationed at battalion strength on Sirius, Hsien, and Fletcher as of 3025. [1]
They took part in the Fourth Succession War, defended the confederation during the combined Andurien-Canopus invasion, and fought in the Xin Sheng Campaign. Their tendency to fight to the last man rather than showing more prudent use of manpower and equipment has left them at the back of the resupply line and largely languishing.[2]

History
4th Succession War
Operation Riposte
A battalion from the 3rd joined a company from Trimaldi's Secutors and a company of Lothar's Fusiliers in an attempt to destroy a supply depot on Kawich during Operation Riposte but was ambushed by infantry, armor, and a battalion of ‘Mechs from the 1st Davion Guards. When faced with the dug in defenders the commander ordered a retreat but many over enthusiastic warriors ignored the command and charged hopelessly into the ambush. [3]
Andurien/Canopus Invasion
The 3rd Reserve fought during the Andurien-Canopus invasion of the Confederation but tended to make suicide-stands.[2]
Xin Sheng Campaign
Reactivated and rebuilt in 3052, the 3rd Reserve fought on Denbar in the Xin Sheng Campaign where they were trapped in the Ho-Lu Lowlands by the Blackwind Lancers and destroyed.[4]
The command companies final suicide charge led to eventually replacement by the 5th Reserve and reassignment to Drozan in the Victoria Commonality.[2]
The Homeworld of the 3rd Reserve is Holloway.[citation needed]
