Three months after the unit became operational, a battalion of the [[Blackwind Lancers]] launched their illegal attack against [[Hustaing]] and triggered what would be known later as the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]].  The Brigade first action of the war, came when they were deployed to reinforce Compact forces on [[Denbar]].  Initially, the 2nd Janissaries' assault against [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]] went well against the Capellan regiment.  However, Warrior House units counters Janissaries' assault with unexpectedly furious counterattack that threw the brigade back.  The Brigade learned to adapt and was able to counter Warrior House's gains with its Battle Armor infantry. In the end this was not enough to hold the planet for the Compact and the Brigade was forced to withdraw from Denbar after seven months of fighting.  Some of Denbar's Home Guard Aerospace unit was absorbed by the Janissaries' 288th Aerospace Wing.

The 2nd Janissaries were dispatched to [[Indicass]] where they were to back up [[St. Ives Cheveau-Légers]], however arrived too late.  The Légers had been destroyed by House Liao invaders and some of their survivors absorbed into the Janissaries.  While on Indicass, the Brigade had little chance taking the world.  Instead the unit was employed to as means to keep CCAF sending additional reinforcement to hold world while relieving pressure from other Compact forces fighting elsewhere.  In 3061, the Thuggees [[Black May]] attacks occurred throughout the Compact.  These nerve gas attacks killed civilians and military personnel alike, including the Janissaries' Brigade commanding officer.  The Brigade would come under the command of an officer named ''Sang-shao'' Angelina Ilyanova, who was the illegitimate daughter of late House Liao and Strategic Director [[Pavel Ridzik]]. With additional reinforcements arriving from CCAF, the Janissaries were soon forced to quit another world and fall back to [[St. Loris]]. Ilyanova would use her inherited gift of Strategy from her father to allow the Brigade fending off CCAF.  With aid from [[Khorsakov's Cossacks]], the Brigade managed to hold the planet for the Compact until its surrender in [[3063]].<ref>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 113 - 2nd Janissaries' actions during the Capellan-St. Ives War.</ref>
