On 9 November [[2510]] he oversaw his troops being loaded on ''[[Vulture (DropShip class)|Vulture]]''-class [[DropShip]]s and embarked on one of them, the ''[[Hideyoshi Toyotomi]]''.

They were not heard of again because of a [[misjump]].<ref>''Far Country'': "Prologue"</ref> ===Star League Era=== During the [[Star League era]], the Fifth Galedon Regulars shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Galedon Regulars, due to the threat posed by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. This common structure saw the First assigned a group of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced [[aerospace fighter]] [[Wing (Formation)|wing]]. Second only to the [[Sword of Light]] regiments in priority, the various Galedon Regulars regiments had excellent levels of supplies, and a high level of access to new BattleMechs and equipment.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp12"/> ===Second Succession War=== In June [[2825]], the Fifth and [[Ninth Galedon Regulars]] were mobilized to stop the [[Paul Bunyan Regiment]] [[mercenary unit]] from sacking [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] warehouses on [[Zlatous]] for food and much needed supplies after the Combine's attempt at absorbing the mercenaries via the so-called [[Company Store]] ploy backfired. Ordered by [[Coordinator]] [[Jinjiro Kurita]] to destroy the Paul Bunyan Regiment's DropShips and seize their JumpShips, the Fifth and Ninth Galedon then assaulted the dug-in mercenaries over the course of two months of vicious fighting that laid waste to much of the planet before the survivors of the unit hijacked a Kurita DropShip and fled to the [[Periphery]].<ref name=HKTDC-62>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 62: "Snakes and Sneaks" box</ref> The Fifth's primary duty was garrisoning the original capital world of the Combine, [[New Samarkand]]. With this important posting, the Fifth received more attention from the [[Internal Security Force]] than any other Galedon Regular unit.<ref name=FMDC61/> ===Third Succession War=== During the 2920s, the Fifth was posted on the Periphery border fending off raids from [[pirates]] and [[bandit kingdom]]s, remaining there for almost a century. They undertook a successful campaign against the [[Belt Pirates]] in the 3010s.<ref name=TGCp55>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 55: "5th Galedon Regulars"</ref> ====Rise of the Warlord==== In [[3019]], the regiment's commanding officer [[Grieg Samsonov]] was promoted to warlord of the [[Galedon Military District]] for his leadership of the Fifth's campaigns against the belt pirates. This caused the Fifth to be relocated to New Samarkand and begin front-line operations again.<ref name=TRO3025Rp58/> In [[3019]], the unit was sent against the Federated Suns, but found itself trapped by two regiments of the [[Crucis Lancers]], the [[Seventh Crucis Lancers]] among them. Panic struck the unit and only the timely intervention of the [[Eighth Galedon Regulars]] saved the Fifth from complete destruction.<ref name=TGCp55/> In [[3021]], the Fifth raided [[New Ivaarsen]]. They were not equipped with sufficient long-range firepower, however, and the Fifth took serious losses.<ref name=TRO3025Rp58>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 58</ref> Most noteworthy was the loss of a ''[[Dragon]]'' 'Mech (and severe damage to three other ''Dragon''s) to a single [[Neptune Submarine]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3026, Revised Edition'', p. 86</ref> The unit started they year [[3025]] stationed on New Samarkand.<ref name=HKTDCp133/> The Fifth participated in the [[Galtor III|Galtor]] campaign during 3025. They held the [[Bremond DMM]] at bay, allowing the [[Seventeenth Benjamin Regulars]] to pound the [[Raman DMM]].<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 12</ref> The unit suffered 61.953% casualties during the Galtor operations.<ref name=TGCp55/> ===Fourth Succession War=== Acting on information provided by [[Fadre Singh]], the [[Third Proserpina Hussars]] and Fifth Galedon Regulars pursued the families of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] as they evacuated [[Draconis Combine]] space. However, the Hussars and Regulars who were assigned to the duty were shamed by it, and used the skill and valor of a battalion of Dragoon cadets as an excuse to let the families escape to [[Cassias]].<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 37</ref> During the war the Fifth engaged [[Wolf's Dragoons]] on [[Glenmora]].<ref name=4SWv1-72>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 72</ref> The death of Warlord Samsonov before the Dragoons left enraged the Fifth's troops.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Death to Mercenaries'', p. 14</ref> They quickly engaged the surviving Dragoons of Alpha Regiment on the continent of Hades. After skirmishing several times, they followed the surviving Dragoons to [[Crossing]]. They fought the Dragoons in the Tartarus Caldera for a month,<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Death to Mercenaries'', p. 8</ref> but when Zeta Battalion and the Tenth Deneb Light Cavalry arrived to reinforce the Dragoons, the Fifth withdrew.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Death to Mercenaries'', p. 9</ref> ===Ronin War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===War of 3039=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Clan Invasion=== Stationed on [[Jeronimo]], the Fifth Regulars faced [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] during the Fourth Wave of [[Operation Revival]] in September [[3050]]. Originally bidding the Assault [[Trinary]] and a [[Binary]] of [[Elemental]]s from his [[3rd Jaguar Cavaliers (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Third Jaguar Cavaliers]], the stiffer than expected resistance of the Fifth Galedon in Jeronimo's Topside Woods forced [[Star Colonel]] [[Paul Moon]] to break his bid and call down the [[cluster]]'s Second Battle Trinary to finally overcome the Fifth. Suffering heavy losses, little more than a [[Inner Sphere military structure#Reinforced Battalion|reinforced battalion]]'s worth of the Fifth Galedon Regulars retreated off-world.<ref name=IC-67>''Invading Clans'', p. 67</ref> ===Operation Bulldog=== Volunteers from the unit formed the ''Galedon Pride'' Provisional Company as part of [[Operation Bird Dog]]. Sent to stage guerrilla operations on Smoke Jaguar held [[Kiamba]] ahead of [[Operation Bulldog]], ultimately the Clan garrison would crush the entire company.<ref name=TDR-8>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 8–9</ref><ref name=FMUp108>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 108: "5th Galedon Regulars"</ref> ===Dominion War=== During the Dominion War, the Fifth's command staff was wiped out on [[Dumaring]], but the prompt arrival of the [[Second Benjamin Regulars]] allowed the Fifth to rally and seize several cities.<ref name=FMUp108/> ===Federated Suns Incursion=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Jihad=== Early in the [[Jihad]], the High Command transferred the Fifth Galedon Regulars to [[Bad News]] to counter any [[Clan Snow Raven]] aggression. Though they faced down some coordinated pirate activity, possibly based out of [[Port Krin]], in [[3073]] the deployment to Bad News has kept the Fifth Galedon out of most of the fighting.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 10</ref> ===Republic Era=== In [[3083]], the Fifth Galedon Regulars were assigned to assault [[Valentina]]. The Fifth invaded and destroyed the [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Raven]]s' [[12th Raven Garrison (Clan Snow Raven)|Twelfth Raven Garrison Cluster]]. At the same time, the defenders had raided the Fifth Galedon's rear areas, destroying their supplies and killing half their command staff.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 40</ref> The Fifth raided [[Pascagoula]] later that century, destroying an entire wing of [[AFFS]] aerospace fighters. This left Pascagola an easy target for the Combine's assault into the [[Federated Suns]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 24</ref> ===Dark Age=== The Fifth had made it its business to raid all [[Raven Alliance]] worlds within three jumps of wherever they were deployed; however, since losing a third of its 'Mechs, the Fifth's effectiveness had been greatly decreased. They were regrouping on [[Capra]] and waiting for their next posting to the front.<ref name=FM3145p54>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 54: "Fifth Galedon Regulars"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 5th Galedon Regulars''' |- | ''[[General]]''||[[Grieg Samsonov]]||[[3019]] - [[3028]]<ref name=HKp134>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 134: "Deployment Table"</ref> |- | ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]''||[[Li Dok To]]||3028<ref name=4SWv1-72/><ref>''Operational Turning Points: Death to Mercenaries'', p. 11</ref> |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Ivor Sotallarude]]||[[3050]] - [[3059]]<ref name=20Yp41>''20 Year Update'', p. 41: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref name=FMDC61>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 61: "5th Galedon Regulars Unit Profile"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Stephan Suwo]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMUp116>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 116: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Gerlach Bachman]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p50>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 50: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Dona Hurley]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM3145p65>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 65: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== ===Star League Era=== Due to the high number of [[Sun Zhang Military Academy]] and [[Galedon Military Academy]] recruits within the Galedon Regulars, the Regulars often displayed fanatical loyalty and courage. However, the elitism displayed by these same recruits led to poor coordination between the Regulars and the attached convention forces, who were often used as cannon fodder.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp12"/> ===Third Succession War=== In 3025, the soldiers were experienced in mountain combat.<ref name=HSDCp145>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 145</ref> ===Clan Invasion Era=== The Fifth uses a number of combined arms tactics, linking 'Mechs with conventional armor units.
