===Formation===
+
The 69th PGC was created by [[Galaxy Commander]] Kedric Gilmour, who moved all of Omicron's AeroSpace assets into two Clusters. The 69th was highly skilled in combined arms and ground support operations. The large number of fighters often confused an enemy and in several cases ended a Trial before the enemy knew what happened. Though they preferred to attack grounded targets, the 69th was also capable of performing [[JumpShip]] escort duties and deep space strikes.<ref name=FMWC97/> In 3061 they were stationed at [[Soverzene]].<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164</ref> In [[3067]] the 69th PGC had moved into the [[Inner Sphere]] along with the rest of the Ghost Bears, and were stationed at [[Goito]].<ref name=fmu>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 78</ref>

===Jihad===
 
During the [[Jihad]], the Sixty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster deployed alongside the [[1st Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|First]] and [[7th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Bear Regulars]] in the assault to liberate the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Cebalrai]] in mid-August 3075. Having established landing zones, the Seventh Bear Regulars - along with the First Bear Regulars and Sixty-ninth PGC - swiftly pushed the defending forces from the [[Cebalrai Protectorate Militia]] and their supporting mercenaries off the continent of Lennori and continued to pursue them across Sarrina, a pursuit that culminated in a bloody three-day campaign to seize control of [[New Wade]], the capital city of Cebalrai. New Wade was secured by the Ghost Bears on the 18th of August and the government reestablished; concerns about rogue Blakist units and supporters led to the First remaining in place to both act as guards and recuperate from their losses.<ref name="JHS3076p47">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 47: "Cebalrai Free, But at What Cost?"</ref>
 
 
 
The Seventh Bear Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC continued to harry the retreating Cebalrai Protectorate Militia and their supporting mercenary forces, pursuing them back to Dragga, where the Blakists still controlled the three main cities. The main Blakist strength was at Kamrin, a heavily industrial city, and the Ghost Bear forces were driving deep into the city when the Blakists acted out of desperation and detonated a chain of five neutron bombs that had been concealed under the city. The results were devastating for the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC, who were collectively reduced to just a handful of survivors.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/><ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>
 
 
 
With the Ghost Bears still in control of the bulk of Cebalrai the [[10th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] was deployed to the planet to secure Dragga, a campaign that took until at least the 23rd of August;<ref name="JHS3076p47"/> even with the Blakists annihilated,<ref name=DARWp9>''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)'', p. 9: "Cebalrai"</ref> the casualties inflicted on the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC were such that Omicron Galaxy halted offensive operations temporarily to reassess the campaign and attempt to recover its strength.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/>
 
  
The Republic of the Sphere established a memorial to the Ghost Bears who died liberating Cebalrai; a huge sculpture of a Ghost Bear, carved from obsidian, was placed in the center of Kamrin, the location of the final conflict between the Ghost Bears and the Blakists.<ref name=DARWp9/>

During the [[Jihad]], the 69th Provisional Garrison Cluster deployed along with the [[7th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|7th Bear Regulars]] in the assault to liberate the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Cebalrai]] in mid August 3075. On the 20th of August, as the Ghost Bear forces closed on the increasingly desperate [[Word of Blake]] defenders on the planet, the Blakists detonated a large neutron bomb which wiped out not only themselves but the 7th Bear Regular and the 69th Provisional Garrison Cluster as well; the blast also killed thousands of civilians.<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
