History

The Seventh Donegal Guards has usually been stationed on the FWL border. It's known for having raided Irian in January 2842, and also for devastating the 20th Marik Militia on Concord in December 3048.[1]

FedCom Civil War

The Seventh fought on Giausar and Monte Diablo in the FedCom Civil War.[2]

As of 1st August 3067, the Seventh was on Launam and at 55% strength.[3]

Jihad

In 3076 the Seventh was stationed on Lyons as part of the Coalition defenders. Also on the world were the 6th Pesht Regulars. For unknown reasons the Seventh attacked the Sixth's bases. The fighting was ended by General Belle Lee, who arrived on Lyons two weeks after the initial fighting started. The Seventh was returned to LAAF control.[4]

The LAAF promptly reassigned them to Coalition control, this time placing the Seventh into the Free Worlds League task force under Alys Rousset-Marik. Along with the 12th Atrean Dragoons, the Devil's Brigade, and the 11th Mechanized Cavalry Cluster, the Seventh invaded Hsien. They started off well, facing only the Hsien Protectorate Militia and Hsien's Hotheads, but the arrival of the 4th McCarron's Armored Cavalry and 4th Tau Ceti Rangers turned the fight into a three-way brawl. The Coalition commander was able to convince the CCAF forces to focus on the Word of Blake troops, but coordinated actions were impossible. The fighting reduced the Seventh to about half of its original strength.[5]

During the invasion of Terra, the Seventh landed with Alys Marik's task force to take the Sandhurst Royal Military College. Later the Seventh landed on Mars alongside Stone's Liberators, the 11th Mechanized Cavalry Cluster, and the Alpha Galaxies of Clan Nova Cat and Clan Wolf-in-Exile.[6] The Seventh was present when the Blakist commander surrendered to General Andrew Redburn.[7]

Officers

In 3025 the unit is commanded by Leutnant-General Maria Estaban.[8]

As of 3062, the commanding officer was Leutnant-General Daniel Voss-Steiner, who had been in command since 3019.[1] He was still in command in 3067.[3]

Tactics

The unit uses all forces to soften the enemy up, slowly. First the fighters strikes from the sky, after that the artillery pound on them, and as the last push the swift medium mechs and tank companies deliver the final push.[1]
