	==History==		==History==
−	=== Formation ===
−	The Capellan Reserve Cavalry formed during the years between the repeal of the [[Star League]] [[Council Edict of 2650]] in [[2572]] and the eruption of the [[Amaris Coup]]. The [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] had expanded rapidly, as did the militaries of the other [[Great House]]s, and the Capellan Reserve Cavalry was the last of the [[CCAF]] [[brigade]]s to form (or re-form) prior to the Coup. Between 2572 and [[2765]] the Reserve Cavalry mustered seven new regiments, with the intention that the Reserve Cavalry would act as rapid reinforcements to other units and as a source of replacement personnel for frontline commands. Like the other regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, the Fifth Confederation Reserve Cavalry was an odd combination of volunteer corps, training cadre and militia, with standing orders for the junior [[Colonel]] in charge of the Fifth to subordinate his command to place it at the full disposal of any frontline command it served alongside. This allowed the Fifth to act as a synergistic part of the superior formation, free of internal power struggles or conflicts.<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 16: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref>

−	The Fifth was one of the heavier regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, and was composed almost entirely of new recruits, who were full of patriotism, vigor and fiery enthusiasm.<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16"/>
−
−	=== Third Succession War ===
−	The Fifth was stationed on [[Tsinghai]] and [[Larsha]] at the end of the [[Third Succession War]].<ref name=citation105>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation'', p. 105: "Regimental Deployment Table - 3025"</ref>

	===Fourth Succession War===		===Fourth Succession War===
−	Tsinghai was attacked during the Seventh Wave of [[Operation RAT]]; in contrast with the thirteen other Capellan worlds annexed with little difficulty during this wave, Tsinghai had a front-line garrison, consisting of a battalion from the Fifth and the First Battalion of [[Preston's Lancers]]. Without much time to plan, the Capellan Operations Command of the AFFS attempted to use numbers to compensate for a lack of information and planning time, and deployed two regiments of the [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] — [[Gamma Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Gamma]] and [[Delta Regiment (12th vegan Rangers)|Delta Regiments]] — and the complete [[Twentieth Avalon Hussars]] [[Regimental Combat Team]]. The task force landed on Tsinghai on the 8th of December, with the Vegan Rangers targeting the Cavalry while the Twentieth Hussars engaged Preston's Lancers. The Rangers were able to bracket the Cavalry troops in a long valley, using numbers to their advantage and outflanking the Cavalry; the Cavalry had luck on their side, and were able to fight through to their [[DropShip]]s and abandon Tsinghai after losing only half their strength.<ref name="4SWv2p59A">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 59: "Tsinghai"</ref>	+	The 5th Reserve was originally stationed at battalion strength in [[3025]] on Tsinghai and Larsha although there were not present for the [[Fourth Succession War#Wave 5|Fifth Wave]] attack by the [[Davion Heavy Guard]]<ref name=citation42>''NAIS Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 42,  Tsinghai</ref> in [[3029]].
−	Preston's Lancers were able to avoid being encircled by the Hussars, breaking through the Hussars' line, but were soon being attacked by the Hussars' [[aerospace fighter]]s and a regiment of [[hovertank]]s. The Lancers retreated into the Hornatio Valley, a twisting river valley, with the Hussars in close pursuit. The Lancers launched several ambushes against the more numerous Hussar forces, until the Hussars dispatched a [['Mech]] battalion and an armored regiment around to the river delta and used their other forces to drive the Lancers towards them. The Hussars' trap was successful, and after two days of combat in the river delta a single [[company]] of Lancers managed to escape, leaving the planet under Federated Suns control.<ref name="4SWv2p59A"/>	+	Later they did defend the world at battalion strength during the Seventh Wave along with a battalion of [[Preston's Lancers]]. In that battle the [[20th Avalon Hussars]] and two [[regiment]]s of the [[12th Vegan Rangers]] landed on the planet with a large numerical advantage. The 5th Reserve managed to battle their way to their [[dropship]]s and escape losing only half their number.<ref name=citation59/>

−	In [[3064]], the 5th Reserve faced pirates while on regular rotation to [[Zanzibar]]. While the regiment was on Zanzibar raiding actions by the ''[[Shen-sè Tian]]'' pirate band forced the Cavalry to redeploy in battalion strength. A green battalion of the Cavalry subsequently fought two battalions of pirates commanded by Pirate-Major Kerry Wung on [[Muridox]] and handily defeated them using combined armed tactics.<ref name=citation22>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 22: "5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref>	+	In [[3064]] the 5th Reserve faced pirates while on regular rotation to [[Zanzibar]].

−	During the opening part of the [[Jihad]] the Fifth CRC was part of the Capellan counterattack after [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]].<ref name="frcc11"/> They first landed on [[Imalda]] and, assisted by elements of the [[Death Commandos]], faced the [[21st Illician Rangers]] from the [[Illician Lancers]] mercenary brigade. The 21st Rangers were forced to fight a guerrilla campaign due to lack of supplies, striking back more than once at the more numerous Capellan forces before the supply situation forced them to withdraw to [[Sendalor]].<ref name="MSUp73">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 73: "Illician Lancers"</ref> After defeating the Lancers, the Fifth CRC moved on to [[New Westin]], where they [[Battle of New Westin (3068)|defeated]] the [[Jie Fang Legion|''Jie Fang'' Legion]].

	The Fifth Reserve Cavalry is unique among its peers in that every battalion has been reorganized into the Capellan [[Augmented Battalion]] formations (other CCAF units typically have a single Augmented Battalion).
