The unit had served along the Capellan border, where it conduct its most noted action of the era. In 2998, the unit conducted the Taurian Concordat's only raid against Confederation. In raid against Liao world of Larsha, the regiment successfully raided a Supply Depot.[3] During the these times, the force was considered Veteran skilled and consisted of on average number of Medium class BattleMechs in its formations.
Post Succession War era
The unit did not see much action in 3030s to 3050s.
St. Ives Conflict
In early 3060s, the Concordat Jaegers were sent as part of the TDF's contridupation of troops in the conflict. The unit along with the Taurian Velites, dispatched to occupided worlds of the St. Ives Compact. When open hosilities broke out in what became the Capellan-St. Ives Civil War, the faced off with 7th FedCom RCT and Illician Lancers. In later stages of the conflict, it was part of final assault against the Compact's capital world of St. Ives. The unit was credited in its battle fighting 2nd St. Ives Lancers on Warlock, where it fought Lancers to a stand still.[4]
Rebuilding & Return to the Concordat
The fighting in the Compact hand changed the character of the Jaegers. The unit's third battalion had been completely lost in the war, and the survivors of the shattered elite Taurian Velites were integrated into the unit as its new third Battalion at the command of then-General Brenda Calderon. [5][6] They were then stationed on Taga.[7] The regiment was also enhanced with new technology salvaged from the fighting, and now included larger 'Mechs. This forced the unit to change its tactics.
After being returned to the Concordat it was spread thin defending the border with the rest of the I Corp brigade. The unit was assigned as of 3067, to worlds of Argos, Regis Roost and New Vandenberg. On Regis Roots, the unit's aerospace support, the 2nd Air Division was assigned to provide cover for the ground elements assigned there.[8] They were fighting with such pirates groups as the Calderon Commandos. Due to the ties with former General Brenda Calderon the unit's rating of loyalty was ranked at questionable. [9]
