From [[3063]] through [[3065]], the Guard took an active stand as bodyguards for the [[House of Scions]]. They often posted armed men on the House floor to protect [[St. Ives]] members. This led to the formation of a second infantry regiment, currently two battalions in strength, for security measures.

A combined force of Holdfast Guard and [[Death Commandos]] landed covertly on [[Liao]]. They stormed the capital city, Chang-an, destroying vast swaths of the city and killing hundreds of civilians. This October 11, [[3111]] action was later named the "Massacre of Liao" by the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. Outside the capital city, the Holdfast Guard faced the [[V Hastati Sentinels]]. While the Holdfast Guard forced the Fifth to advance slowly, the [[Dynasty Guard]] carried out a headhunter mission that killed the Fifth's command staff.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 19</ref>

The Guard arrived on [[Liao]] not long after its liberation, likely as insurance against any threat to their newly won holdings. The Guard has been embraced by the planet’s inhabitants, who continue to ride the wave of resurgent Capellan nationalism. In addition the Guard has sent detachments of its troops to numerous neighboring systems to conduct well publicized exercises and to instill "proper Capellan values". The Guards have begun integrating classes on Confucian thought into their educational systems due to the urging of local communities. This has had the Guards assist in the construction of the new Rújiào Institute of Cultural and Philosophical Studies on Liao.<ref name=FM3145p30>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 30: "Capellan Hussars - Holdfast Guard"</ref>
