In the face of threatened revolts in the newly occupied [[Sarna March]] in the [[3030]]s, the Fifteenth was one of many Lyran units ordered in to ease the tensions, being posted to [[Elnath]]. While requiring an entirely different style from pirate hunting, the Fifteenth rose to the challenge and slowly built strong ties with the local community. However in light of the [[Marik-Liao Invasion of 3057]] and Archon [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s order for Lyran units to return home order, the Fifteenth opted to obey and returned to the newly formed [[Lyran Alliance]].

With increasing tensions on [[Solaris]] and their success in the Sarna March, the Fifteenth was ordered to garrison several worlds with anti-Alliance rebels, with the first battalion under CO [[Felix Blucher]] posted to [[Thorin]], with the remainder sent to [[Muphrid]] under Kommandant [[Constance McCoy]].<ref name=FML2>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 56</ref>

While Blucher worked alongside the [[Thorin Militia]] at first, increasing anti-Katherine riots escalated into terrorist attacks and the Arcturan Guards personnel killing the activist reporter sister of the militia's CO [[Archer Christifori]]. An enraged Christifori led a rebellion against the Fifteenth and with the aid of militia turncoats within the Arcturan Guards and inspired tactics, Christifori was about to deal the Fifteenth several crushing defeats. After heading off reinforcements from Muphrid, the battered Fifteenth surrendered and traveled towards [[Lyons]] to rebuild.<ref name=FCCW1>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 34–35</ref>

The patchwork 15th arrived on Melissia shortly before the forces of [[Khan]] [[Marthe Pryde]], and despite protests of their need to retreat and resupply, fought alongside the other units under the command of General [[Adam Steiner]] <ref name=FCCW3>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 116</ref>. The so-called "Hodge Podges" 15th took part in [[Operation Audacity]], serving under both Generals Steiner and their old foe Archer Christifori, assisting in the capture of [[Black Earth]] and [[Roadside]]. <ref name=FCCW4>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 117, 188, 120</ref>.

During the [[Jihad]], the Fifteenth partnered with the [[5th Crucis Lancers]] in an attack on [[Demeter]]. There they attempted to take the [[Vicore Industries]] factory,<ref name=frla10>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 10</ref> but were repulsed by the defending [[Demeter Protectorate Militia]] units and two [[Level III]]s from the [[9th Division (Word of Blake)|9th Militia Division]], ''Measure of Trust'' and ''Call to the Faithful''. An orbital drop by the [[3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires]] reinforced the Coalition forces and pushed the Blakist defenders back. Three weeks later the Guards and other Coalition forces had taken control of the world, but only after bloody hand-to-hand fighting and several orbital bombardments; the 15th had worked alongside the 5th Crucis Lancers to take control of New Demeter City, while the 3rd Legionnaires had battled the 9th Militia Division forces until both the Blakists and the Vicore Industries plant were destroyed by orbital bombardment<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36, "Tragedy On Demeter"</ref>

Shortly after this victory, the Fifteenth landed on [[Towne]] to assist Coalition forces there. Towne was particularly difficult because it had several [[SDS]] stations both on the planet and in orbit.<ref name="JHS:Tp37">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 37, "The Tale Of Towne"</ref> The Fifteenth was only present for a few weeks before moving out to their next assault, the campaign for [[Hean]]; however, the Fifteenth wouldn't make landfall on Hean, as the system was discovered to possess a multi-layered [[SDS]] network. These defenses inflicted serious losses on the Fifteenth along with the [[Fox's Teeth]] and the Aerospace assets available to Group I, and most damaging of all, the SDS network destroyed the ''[[Fox (WarShip)|Fox]]''-class [[Fox (WarShip)#Named Vessels|FSS ''Indefatigable'']].<ref name="JHS:Tp37A">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 37, "Situation Report: Naval Defenses"</ref>

During the liberation of [[Terra]], the Fifteenth was assigned to [[General]] [[Galen Cox]]'s command. This task force--composed of the Fifteenth, [[1st Davion Guards]], [[Marlette CMM]], [[Hansen's Roughriders]] and the [[12th Vegan Rangers]]-- was assigned to take the Texas Highlands on the North American continent.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 96</ref>

However, a DropShip of class Fortress, the ''Brigada'', was attacked by two fighters and lost the course, crashing in North Carolina. The company aboard, lead by Hauptmann [[Conner DeVries]], was soon surrounded by Blakist forces. His presence there help to divert Blakist forces attacking Devlin Stone's forces retreating from [[Hilton Head]], and for the moment wasn't evacuation available for them, forcing them to hold.

They resist for days, crippling the TerraSec forces, but weakening day to day. Despite having been promised evacuation by Kanrei [[Kiyomori Minamoto]], it didn't arrived, but they managed to destroy all TerraSec forces, and after sending his wounded and infantry to hide in the mountains, the last Lyran 'Mechs charged against the Blakist [[4th Division (Word of Blake)|4th Division]] forces. It is unknown their final destiny.<ref>''Operation Scythe: Lyran Fire'' p. 245</ref>

After Terra was liberated, the Fifteenth found itself split into two battalion sized forces. The two battalions were stationed on [[La Blon]] and [[Marfik]], serving as garrison forces.<ref name=frla10/> By [[3085]] they had rebuilt into the largest 'Mech unit available to the Arcturan Guards brigade, and they had rotated back to Arcturus. Strangely, they had no conventional forces assigned to them at this time.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 98</ref>

In [[3142]], after [[Clan Wolf]] forces abandoned [[Arcturus]], the Fifteenth Guards redeployed there. They supported the self-proclaimed governor, [[Johan Rahmer]], who behaved as a tyrant. Commander of the 15th, General [[Ian Chesterton]], followed Rahmer's orders but refused to use his forces as stormtroopers against the population.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Duty'', ch. 6</ref>

In [[3142]], the Fifteenth Guards responded to the invasion of [[Arcturus]] by [[Peregrine Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Peregrine Galaxy]]. They split into companies and attempted to face the Falcons at every landing site. Despite their fearlessness and determination, they weren't able to defeat the Falcons, and had to withdraw after two days of fighting.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 24</ref> They took heavy losses, and relocated to [[Garrison]] in an attempt to regroup. This was unsuccessful. They were redeployed to [[Tharkad]] to help reconstruction efforts while they also took the time to refit and rearm their equipment.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 125</ref>

In [[3148]] the Fifteenth were sent to [[Coventry]] as reinforcements for the beleaguered [[Seventeenth Arcturan Guards]], the Stavlos Tigers soon finding themselves in the thick of the action around the city of Lietnerton against Clan Jade Falcon.
