Together with the [[7th Rasalhague Regulars|Seventh Rasalhague Regulars]] and conventional forces, they became embroiled in a protracted campaign against the [[4th Royal Guards|Fourth Royal Guards]]. The open battles of the first two years gave way to the LCAF defenders waging a guerrilla war against the Combine, which the Fourth Sword was ill-equipped to handle.

Yoguchi was unaware, however, that food and water shortages on Federated Suns worlds near the Davion-Combine border had grown so severe that the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] invasion force would consist of twenty regiments, four of which were BattleMech formations. Heavily outnumbered, the Combine defense quickly collapsed when an AFFS 'Mech [[battalion]] made a daring drop against Yoguchi's headquarters and forcing him to desperately flee into the surrounding heavy forests, his second-in-command convinced the Coordinator had been killed and reporting this back to [[Luthien]]. Though Yoguchi would ultimately survive, the grossly outnumbered Fourth was destroyed to the last man, with the Davion forces defeating the last surviving 'Mech of the Fourth Sword of Light within a month.<ref name=HK-69>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 69: "History - Second Succession War - Divine Sacrifice"</ref><ref name=HDTFS-72>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', pp. 72–73: "History - Second Succession War - Tishomingo"</ref> ===Dark Age=== ===Dark Age=== − The Fourth was re-formed shortly after the [[2nd Sword of Light|Second]] regiment was by Coordinator [[Vincent Kurita (31st c.)|Vincent Kurita]].
