Fortress Republic
After the rise of Fortress Republic in October 3135, the Tenth became last original regiment of the brigade survive multiple invasions and eventual retreat of RAF forces behind borders of Prefecture X.
The RAF Command found that many of the veterans of the Tenth had severe survivor's guilt. Even after nearly decade later, with only a third of the unit being veterans of the Tenth, the remaining two thirds of the Tenth were infected by the depression and guilt of the veterans. The unit as a whole felt that it had failed the Republic and allowed it to fall. The unit's command staff was trying to turn this to an advantage by redirecting their anger at the enemies of the Republic, but this was only partially successful.
Exarch Levin choose the Tenth to join other combat units participating in Operation DAMNATIO in 3141. The showed that Tenth could still fight well, where it help hunted down and exterminate the militarized ComStar faction.[4]
The Tenth was stationed on Lipton in 3145.[5]
