Gustavsson remained in command of this Brigade during the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]] in 3151, participating in the defense of South America from [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. On day T+67 of the Battle the Falcon's [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]] under Galaxy Commander [[Denise Mehta]] were sent to take Redoubt Panama, which was defended by [[Knights of the Republic of the Sphere|Knight]] [[Kristoff Erbe]] and the [[XI Hastati Sentinels]], including Gustavsson's 1040th Infantry.

Gustavsson remained in command of this Brigade during the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]] in 3151, participating in the defense of South America from [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. On day T+67 of the Battle, the Falcon's [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]] under Galaxy Commander [[Denise Mehta]] were sent to take Redoubt Panama, which was defended by [[Knights of the Republic of the Sphere|Knight]] [[Kristoff Erbe]] and the [[XI Hastati Sentinels]], including Gustavsson's 1040th Infantry.
  
Initially attempting a [[Mongol Doctrine]] blitzkrieg, Mehta's assault quickly devolved into a stalemate, with an attritional siege continuing until day T+72. Losing patience, at that time [[Khan of Clan Jade Falcon|Khan]] [[Malvina Hazen]] ordered Galaxy Commander Mehta to either personally lead the next attack on the Redoubt, or be executed with her command staff for treason. In response Mehta lead the [[4th Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|Fourth Falcon Striker Cluster]] against the [[RAF]] defenders the following day, with [[aerospace fighter]] support, which was sufficient to force the Hastati back into Panama City. Despite increasing losses, Mehta continued to push the Republic forces back, approaching the Panama Canal itself. Colonel Gustavsson and the 1040th Infantry attempted to defend the Pedro Miguel Locks on Day T+73 of the battle (i.e. 24 March), and managed to protect this key shipping infrastructure from being destroyed by the Fourth Falcon Striker Cluster, but at the cost of Colonel Gustavsson and most of the 1040th Infantry being killed.<ref name="ilClan"></ref>
