In 2881 they captured some fighters from the Marik Militia during a raid on Calloway VI.
By 2910, they'd started to raid in the Capellan March.
In 2922, forces of the command held some AFFS forces in place until the timely arrival of Warrior House LuSann.
In 2948, the unit participated in raids on Lee to take the pressure off Tikonov.
In 2987, they destroyed important supplies of the House Davion raiders.
Fourth Succession War[edit]
In the Fourth Succession War, both battalions were destroyed, the First in the failed defense of Tikonov and the Second in the failed defense of Alrescha.
