History[edit]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
During the Fourth Succession War the Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs were deployed to New Hessen. There they faced the 2nd New Hessen Irregulars. The Irregulars attempted to use their superior knowledge of the terrain to destroy the Chasseurs, but the Chasseurs were able to seize Buchvaal, the planet's capital.[1]
Clan Invasion[edit]
In 3050, they were defeated by Clan Jade Falcon on Anywhere during the first wave of Operation REVIVAL, facing the Eighth Falcon Regulars. The Chasseurs had just been rotated to the planet, and were unfamiliar with its terrain.[2] Having lost 60% of their forces they retreated off world to Somerset. Once there they linked up with the remnants of the 8th Arcturan Guards and engaged the Jade Falcon's 94th Striker during the second wave of Operation Revival. After a 12 hour battle near the town of Hollyfield both units were virtually destroyed. [3]
Reconstitution[edit]
The unit was rebuilt in 3062 with new academy graduates from New Ivaarsen. Their sister regiment transferred many experienced officers and noncommissioned officers into the unit, but it was only with extensive training and preparation that the unit was able to come together.[4]
Like the First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs, the Second did not participate in the FedCom Civil War. Instead they were kept on New Ivaarsen to protect that world.[5] After the FedCom Civil War ended, the Second was transferred to Dobson to guard the Draconis Combine/Federated Suns border.[6]
During the early years of the Jihad the Second raided Galedon to liberate several prisoner of war camps. They were joined by the 12th Deneb Light Cavalry and 2nd Robinson Rangers. After making planetfall, the unit was exposed to the "Curse of Galedon" plague and most of the soldiers died. The few survivors made it to An Ting, but the unit was destroyed.[7]
Dark Age[edit]
The reconstituted Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs were stationed on Barlow's End when the Draconis Combine invaded. They pulled back and left the world to the Ryuken-roku.[8] During the withdrawal, they deployed a platoon of Destrier Siege Vehicles to cover their movements.[9]
