MacLeod's Regiment participated in 3061 in [[Task Force Serpent]] assaulting the [[Smoke Jaguar]] city of Pahn on [[Huntress]], taking the factory producing [[BattleMechs]] and [[ProtoMechs]], suffering a Smoke Jaguar counterattack shortly afterwards.  
[[Operation GUERRERO]] extended to [[Northwind]], too. [[Loren Jaffray]], descendant of a long storied Highlanders' family, offered MacLeod the Confederation's help to achieve Northwind's full independance. The Suns' Consul on Northwind made serious mistakes, and the [[Battle of Northwind (3057)|Battle of Northwind]] began. MacLeod's Regiment divided himself between loyalists to the Suns' and independentists, both faction led by Major [[Chastity Mulvaney]] and MacLeod, respectively, but when they fought, avoided to kill each other, and when Colonel's [[Drew Catelli]] plan to make blow half of Tara was uncovered, both factions joined forces against the Suns, and with the help of [[Stirling's Fusiliers]], they disarmed the trap and destroyed the Suns' forces.<ref>''HighlanderGambit'' </ref>
 
 
 
===Wayside V===
 
A battalion of the Regiment was contracted by the [[Draconis Combine]] to garrison [[Wayside V]]. It must have arrived after Stirling's Fusiliers had taken the planet from [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] forces, but the [[Battle of Wayside (3058)|Battle of Wayside]] hadn't go as expected, as the planet had a full Galaxy: [[Tau Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Tau Galaxy]]. Mulvanery's force arrival, however, proved decisive: they landed on 8 August, when the Jaguars were to crush the weakened Fusiliers. The battalion's charge on the Jaguars' back forced them to break off their attack, giving time to [[Clan Nova Cat]] forces to arrive, changing the tide of the battle.<ref>''Impetus of War'', ch. 46</ref>

In [[3061]], MacLeod's Regiment participated in [[Task Force Serpent]] assaulting the [[Smoke Jaguar]] city of Pahn on [[Huntress]], taking the factory producing [[BattleMechs]] and [[ProtoMechs]], suffering a Smoke Jaguar counterattack shortly afterwards.
