The Taurian Guards Corps consisted of regiments that had a historical tie to the original Guards regiment. The three regiments were stationed in the Hyades Cluster, and their close proximity allowed them to cross-train with each other. As a result the regiments were skilled in coordinated efforts.<ref name=frp2765p22>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 22</ref>

		+	When originally organized at the birth of the Taurian rebellion against the [[Inner Sphere]] in [[2765]], the Taurian Guard was an amalgum of senior units that had survived the earlier [[Reunification War]]. The unit was given a christening of fire when it faced off against the legendary [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] in their defense of [[New Vandenberg]] from the invading Star League Defense Forces ([[SLDF]]) units. <ref name=P1/>
−	In later years the Guard was reorganized and augmented, increasing to a total of nine [[BattleMech]] [[regiments]] organized into three [[battalions]]. The Guard is permanently assigned to guard the Taurian core worlds located in the [[Hyades Cluster]], though common practice was for up to two Battalions of Guard units to rotate out to the border to relieve junior Battalions on patrol there. With the loss of the [[Taurian Velites]] this has been scaled back to a single battalion on border relief duty.<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 50</ref>	+	In later years the Guard was reorganized and augmented, increasing to a total of nine [[BattleMech]] [[Regiment]]s organized into three [[Battalion]]s.

−	The entire Guard Corps has more recently seen action both in the Concordat and farther afield. The Guard was instrumental in defending the core worlds from the attack of the [[Fighting Urukhai]] and in the later retaliatory strike into the [[Federated Suns]] in response to this mercenary raid. Though they performed well in this campaign into [[House Davion|Davion]] space, the unit has taken substantial damage during the engagements and has been rotated back to the Cluster for refit and repair.<ref name=FMU-193/>	+	The entire Guard Corps has more recently seen action both in the Concordat and farther afield.
