==History==
 
==History==
The '''First Buena Guards''' actually predate the Commonwealth Guards brigade by several years. They were formed shortly after [[Buena]] replaced [[Alarion]] was destroyed in [[3082]].<ref name=fm3085p99/> They were stationed on Buena in 3085.<ref name=3085deployment/>
+
The '''First Buena Guards''' saw heavy action against [[Clan Wolf]], fighting on [[Bella I]] and [[Dixie]]. They then withdrew to [[Tharkad]] and arrived just before the Wolves did. They sustained moderate losses at the Battle of Nagelring, but by 3145 they had recovered from most of those losses thanks to new recruits and salvage from Tharkad. They were stationed on [[Buena]] in 3145.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 123</ref>

In [[3146]] the [[Buena Collective]] formed, and the First Buena Guards became a part of its military. In July a battalion of the First Buena Guards landed on [[Loburg]] and forced the planetary militia to give up its arms. This secured industrial plants for the Buena Guards.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 25</ref>
 
 
 
The First Buena Guards were renamed the '''First Collective Guards''' in 3147. At the time a battalion sized detachment was stationed on [[Valloire]]. The [[Lyran Irregulars]], [[2nd Buena Guards]], and [[Carlisle Buena Province Militia]] landed on the world and eventually forced the Collective Guards off-world.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 42</ref>
 
 
 
In 3148 the First Collective Guards were recalled to [[Buena]] to strengthen the defenses of the Buena Collective's capital world. The [[1st Buena Jaegers]] and [[1st Buena Volunteers]] assaulted the world, and struck the capital city, Ciudad del Mar. The First Collective Guards tried to stop them with artillery and aerospace strikes, but lost too many fighters.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', pp. 48-49</ref>
