The unit was rotated to the [[Periphery]] in [[3059]], to assist the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] against the [[Marian Hegemony]]. After a year of limited maneuvers, the Ironsides were recalled to [[Victoria]], where they remain and continue to prosper quietly.
	===Jihad===		===Jihad===
−	The Ironsides were part of the [[CCAF]]'s assault on [[Halloran V]]. While on that world, the unit lost two battalions of forces to a [[Word of Blake]] [[Level III]] from the [[48th Shadow Division|Forty-eighth Shadow Division]] that constantly attacked them.<ref name=TCp167>''Total Chaos'', pp. 167–168: "Ravaged Iron"</ref> In [[3079]] they were still on Halloran, looking to rebuild from battlefield salvage.<ref name=frccaf16>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 16</ref>	+	{{Sectionstub}}
−	===Republic Era===	+	==Officers==
−	In [[3081]] the Ironsides hit [[Yangtze]]. Their offensive strategy was effective, forcing [[Republic of the Sphere]] forces to withdraw from a pincer movement between the Ironsides and the [[Harloc Raiders]]. However, the Republic's Sixth Auxiliary forced the Ironsides back to [[Kansu]]. The Ironsides then began to fall back after offering only minimal opposition to attackers. This left them with more combat strength, but upset many in the CCAF's command structure.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 27</ref> Despite their self-preservation, in [[3085]] they were at a quarter of their nominal strength.<ref name=FM3085p33/>	+	As of [[3035]], the unit CO was Major Judith Lockhardt.
−	===Dark Age===	+	As of [[3063]] the Commanding Officer was [[Sang-shao]] Rhianna Lockhardt.
−	During the Capellan invasion of the [[Capellan March]], Lockhardt's Ironsides were assigned to garrison [[Taygeta]]. There they had to deal with a strong resistance movement and [[AFFS]] troops who remained behind. The Ironsides established a series of firebases to control critical areas and left the rest of the world to the resistance.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 8</ref>
