The resulting combat and terrorist actions within the Periphery Military Region inflicted heavy damage on XXXIV Corps; two complete Mechanized Infantry Divisions, the 44<sup>th</sup> and the 62<sup>nd</sup>, were destroyed, along with XXXIV Corps' Independent Aero Wing and three of the seven independent regiments... more than half of the effective combat strength of the Corps.<ref name="SLp142"/>
 
 
 
The remaining units of XXXIV Corps went on to fight in the [[Hegemony Campaign]], but by the end of the campaign the Corps was effectively destroyed as a fighting formation; only one independent regiment, the [[9999th Mechanized Infantry Regiment]], survived as a combat unit in [[2784]] from what had been a deployable fighting strength of more than forty regiments just twenty years before.<ref name="SLp142"/>
 
  
The remnants of XXXIV Corps joined [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]].<ref name="SLp142"/>
