History

Civil War

Operation GUERRERO extended too to Northwind. Loren Jaffray, descendant of a long storied Highalnders' 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) began. MacLeod's Regiment divided himself between loyalists to the Suns' and independentists, led by Major Chastity Mulvaney and MacLeod, respectively, but both factions 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.[1]

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) hadn't go as expected, as the planet had a full Galaxy: Tau Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar). Mulvanery's force arrival, however, proved decisive: they landed the 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.[2]

Operation Serpent

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. At the end of the campaign, the majority of the regiment had been destroyed.
