Founded by nine former graduates from the Lexington Military Academy on Terra who chose to remain in the Inner Sphere rather than accompany Kerensky's Exodus, the combined armed Lexington Combat Group provided sterling service for its employers during the Succession Wars, most frequently serving the Federated Suns. The unit's ties to House Davion become increasingly permanent during the era of the Clan Invasion when the LCG accepted a 70 year contract with the Suns in return LosTech upgrades for their regiments, virtually becoming a line unit of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. [1]
However, like so many other mercenary units in the Federated Suns, the LCG suffered grievous losses during both the FedCom Civil War and the Jihad, with its regiments seeing action during Duke George Hasek's Operation Sovereign Justice and the Capellan's Operation Thunderstrike counter-strike. Relying almost completely upon the AFFS Department of the Quartermaster for resupply, the LCG discovered that being "almost" a line unit was meaningless in the desperate days of the Jihad, with supplies earmarked for them consistently reassigned by the Capellan March command to regular AFFS units. With the mercenaries not even receiving enough material to sustain basic maintenance levels, Marshal of the Armies Jonathan Davion recognised the critical situation represented by the loss of the LCG as a viable combat unit to the Federated Suns. Davion personally met to negotiate for the mercenaries to join the AFFS as part of the Ceti Hussars, a brigade noted for its absorption of ex-SLDF units and combined armed focus shared by the LCG. The LCG agreed in Janurary 3076, merging to become the fully-formed and combat ready Fourth Ceti Hussars. [2]
