Colonel Jaime Wolf present intelligence which surprised First Prince Ian Davion on raiding activities on Liao held world of Halloran V.

In 3007, the Kommandos were sent in as independent mission where they espionage and punitive raid against elements of the Liao employed mercs, McCarron's Armored Cavalry. The Kommandos conducted serious of sabotage actions, to destroy supply depots in various cities, frustrating the Cavalry in their inability to catch them. They were accompanied by Special Recon Group to pin point where bases were and other intelligence capacities.

House Davion had the Dragoons to disrupt alliance between House Kurita and Liao. This was done using the Kommandos to attacking various targets through acts of sabotage on New Aragon, but leaving evidence of that would suggest Kurita was involved.
