This was a reflection of the reality that the Regulars could at any point be called on to fight against the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] or the [[Star League Defense Force]], as a result of the [[Benjamin Military District]] bordering the [[Federated Suns]], [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Terran Hegemony]]. This was even acknowledged by the [[Internal Security Force]], who gave the Twelfth and the other regiments of the Regulars more leeway than the average [[DCMS]] unit - an attitude the Benjamin Regulars repaid by limiting complaints and criticism to supply issues and local concerns, rather than anything to do with politics.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp10"/> Bandit raids in or around [[2765]] had inflicted sufficiently heavy damage on the Twelfth that the regiment was still rebuilding, causing the ISF to downgrade the Regulars reliability rating; it was anticipated that the Twelfth wouldn't finish rebuilding until some time in [[2766].<ref name="FR2765DCMSp10"/> In November [[2785]]<ref name="HKp53">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 53, "Bujitsu"</ref> the Twelfth Benjamin Regulars and the [[Seventh Proserpina Hussars]] invaded the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] world of [[Gram]], swiftly conquering it.
