The 245th Jump Infantry Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

In 2764, the unit was stationed on Lackland,[1] assigned as a part of the Fifty-third Jump Infantry Division within the LXIX Corps, Third Army to District 2 of the Federated Suns Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery.[2] The Fifty-third Division's nickname, "The Cyclones of Castle Rock," presumably originates from the 245th using their jump packs during the powerful storms on Lackland's capital island of Castle Rock.[3]

The Fifty-third was destroyed during the Periphery Uprising in 2765.[2]
