Fedcom Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War, the Assault Guards secured Addicks for the Federated Suns and then moved on to Tikonov. After spending several years in the fighting on that world, they were recalled to Addicks to help repel the DCMS Reprisal forces. After that was complete they - along with the 1st Crucis Lancers - opened a beachhead on New Avalon, taking heavy losses in the process. Marshal Cooper combined the First Crucis into his Assault Guards. The Crushers took serious losses, but only about one third of their total forces were completely destroyed. As of 3067 they had rebuilt to full strength.[1]
Jihad
The Assault Guards were instrumental in driving the Word of Blake off of New Avalon. They arrived in 3068, taking few casualties during their arrival. Their ability to move their heavy 'Mechs more quickly than expected kept them from being pinned down by the Blakist forces. The Assault Guards were one of the main units defending Avalon City, along with the Davion Heavy Guards and 1st Davion Guards.[2] During the Third Battle of New Avalon, they took serious casualties because they stopped several attacks cold.[3]
They were later rebuilt and assigned to Devlin Stone's Coalition force.[4]
Officers
As of 3062 the Commanding Officer was Marshal Stephan Cooper.
In 3068 Marshal Dixon Zibler commanded the Assault Guards.[5]
