During the Clan Invasion, the Fortieth's commander requested resources to attack the [[Federated Commonwealth]].

The majority of the 40th, led by ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Edward Brandon]], fought against the loyalist members of the unit and abandoned them on [[Kessel]], in order to support the [[Black Dragon Society]]'s coup on [[Luthien]]. They arrived in February [[3069]] and recovered their personnel losses with local recruits.<ref name=JTPL_7_40th/>

The majority of the 40th, led by ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Edward Brandon]], fought against the loyalist members of the unit and abandoned them on [[Kessel]], in order to support the [[Black Dragon Society]]'s coup on [[Luthien]]. They arrived in February [[3069]] and recovered their personnel losses with local recruits, but received serious casualties from both [[Clan Nova Cat]] and the [[Word of Blake]] in [[3072]]. The [[Coordinator]] declared the unit to be ''ronin'' in February [[3075]] and it was stricken from the [[DCMS]] at the same time.<ref name=JTPL_7>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "40th Dieron Regulars"</ref>
  
On 18 July [[3069]], the [[2nd Sword of Light]], along with the [[6th Benjamin Regulars]] and the 40th, moved to disrupt the effectiveness of the Loyalist forces operating in the vicinity of the [[LAW City]] ruins on [[Guthry Island]]. Prematurely alerted to their presence by an engagement with an encountered Word of Blake salvage team, the [[1st Genyosha]] levied heavy casualties on the 6th, scoring a [[Battle of the LAW City Ruins|victory]] for the Loyalists.<ref name=JTPL8>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', pp. 8-9, "Bullet In the Blue Sky"</ref>

In 3057 the Fortieth was commanded by ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Carlton Doi]], an officer who disliked Theodore Kurita's reforms and his posting to the Fortieth.<ref name=FMDC_56/>
On 28 November 3073, the [[32nd Division (Word of Blake)|32nd Division]] [[First Battle of the Takashi Memorial Spaceport|pushed]] against ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'' forces located in the vicinity of the [[Takashi Memorial Spaceport]]'s customs annex, securing at least one ingress to the underground complex. By destroying the main headquarters compound located there, they forced the 40th Dieron Regulars and [[2nd Sword of Light]] out into the local neighborhoods. The 32nd lost a Command [[Level II]] and an ''[[Overlord]]'' class [[DropShip]] to a booby trap.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 10, "Tunnel Rats"</ref>
 
  
On March 14th [[3074]], the Word of Blake [[ROM]] had leaked information regarding the presence of [[Buda Weapons]] Chief Researcher [[Hideoshi Yamika]] and his prototype [[Large X-Pulse Laser]] to the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'' as a means of wearing down Loyalist defenders in [[Skytower City]]. The resulting [[Battle of Skytower City|battle]] ended with Yamika and his prototypes being hustled aboard a Blakist [[DropShip]].<ref name=JTPL-10/11>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', pp. 10-11, "Light Machine"</ref>

When the Fortieth mutinied and traveled to Luthien, it was commanded by ''Tai-sa'' [[Edward Brandon]],<ref name=JTPL_7/> who led the 31st Kessel Armor regiment.
  
In December [[3074]], during the [[Clan Ghost Bear]] assault against the Blakist presence on [[Luthien]], the 40th combined their assets with the [[6th Benjamin Regulars]] to attack the clan's [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omega Galaxy]]. Though frustrated by not engaging the [[Word of Blake Militia]], the clan warriors devastated both regiments.<ref name=JTPL_7_OG>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Omega Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref> The [[Coordinator]] declared the unit to be ''ronin'' in February [[3075]] and it was stricken from the [[DCMS]] at the same time.<ref name=JTPL_7_40th>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "40th Dieron Regulars"</ref>
