The Tenth FedCom was located in Lyran territory when [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] announced the secession of the [[Lyran Alliance]] from the [[Federated Commonwealth]], and after her issuance of Archon Order 5730023, was integrated into the [[LAAF]] under the new name of the Fifth Alliance Guards.  The Fifth Alliance Guards were ordered to garrison [[Fort Loudon]] in order to act as a guard and raiding unit, striking into the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Steel Viper]] Occupation Zones, and were expected to work alongside the [[Fourth Davion Guards]] who were also stationed on that world.<ref name=FMLA47>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 47: "5th Alliance Guards: The Fighting Fifth"</ref>

During the opening stages of the [[FedCom Civil War]], on December 2, [[3062]] the Fourth Davion Guards would be ordered by the fifth Alliance Guard's commander, Lieutenant-General [[James Ito]], to relocate to a new base located 1,500 km away from their old one, in an effort to separate the Fourth from its small support of anti-Katrina protesters. By December 7th the Fourth Davion had not yet begun to move when Lieutenant-General James Ito ordered the Fourth Davion Guards commander, General Alberta Orsina, to step down and be replaced. Orsina refused and launched a strike against the Fifth. Fighting would continue inconclusively until February 3, [[3063]] when the fourth Davion Guards withdrew, but left special forces units to occupy the Fifth.<ref name=FCCW33-4>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 33–34</ref>  These special forces units, led by Major Lawrence Montkreith of the 177th FedCom Mechanized Infantry, launched raids and sabotage missions against the Fifth, culminating first in the successful destruction of the Fifth's main supply depot, and later in a much less successful attack against General Ito.<ref name=FCCWp66>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 66</ref>

By late December [[3064]], after ending resistance activities on [[Fort Loudon]], the Fifth moved to [[Blue Diamond]] to convince the [[Fourth Lyran Regulars]] to enter the war on the Loyalist side when it was learned the Fourth Davion Guards were on nearby [[Dalkeith]]. General Ito decided to stop trying to convince neutral units to enter the war and moved his RCT to Dalkeith.<ref name=FCCWp29>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 129</ref> The Fifth Alliance Guards arrived on Dalkeith on December 2, 3064 and its arrival swung the advantage to the Loyalist side and put the Allied forces on the defensive. By March 6, [[3065]] the Fifth had broken through the last defensive line only to learn that the rest of the allied forces had withdrawn earlier into the nearby badlands where the Allied forces had moved to rearm and repair their forces. Scouts sent in were mauled badly by the [[Deneb Light Cavalry]] and the Fourth Davion Guards, and by April 4, the Loyalist forces, now under General Ito's command began to advance along a broad front. By April 19, the Loyalists had arrived Point du Raz only to discover that the Allied Forces had withdrawn once again to the nearby Continent of Rockmeir.<ref name=FCCW129-130>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 129–130</ref>
