==History==
In June [[3050]], the unit defended [[Kirchbach]] along the [[First Kirchbach Armored Regiment]]. The invading [[Clan Wolf]] used psychological warfare to their advance. After hearing terrible stories of the strength of the enemy the warriors were frightened. When the command meet the [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|Fourth Wolf Guards]] in combat, the unit started retreating and only one battalion was able to retreat off-world.<ref name=WCS061>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 61</ref>

In June 3050 the unit defended [[Kirchbach]] along the [[Kirchbach Militia|First Kirchbach Armored Regiment]]. The invading [[Clan Wolf]] used psychological warfare to their advance.

Two months later, in August 3050, Clan Wolf forces landed on [[Basiliano]] to conquest the planet. The Third Kavalleri and the [[First Basiliano Mechanized Brigade]] were defending the planet, facing forces from Clan Wolf's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma Galaxy]]. The defenders were optimistic that they could use what they'd learned from their previous battles to stall Clan forces. Unfortunately for both the Kavalleri and the militia, the invading forces—the [[Bronze Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Bronze Keshik]] and elements of the [[7th Battle (Clan Wolf)|Seventh Battle]] [[Cluster]]—were led in the field by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Mikel Furey]], one of the preeminent tacticians in the [[Clan Wolf Touman|Clan Wolf ''touman'']].<ref name=WCS062>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 62: "Basiliano"</ref>

Furey kept the militia and Kavalleri off-balance with small probing attacks, making it impossible for Fraga to keep track of all of the Clan Wolf forces, before he led the Bronze Keshik in a flanking attack that hit the Kavalleri in the rear. The Kavalleri and militia were defeated in battles fought at Green Kurquat and Padua, with Fraga's [['Mech]] exploding after a ten-minute toe-to-toe duel with Furey at Padua.<ref name=WCS062/>
