History
Fourth Succession War
The unit was formed in 3027 by order of Coordinator Takashi Kurita to be an elite regiment, filled by Yorinaga Kurita of the best House Kurita soldiers.[1] Its original mission was receive Lord Kurita's military knowledge and destroy the mercenary Kell Hounds, whom he felt robbed him of his honor.
Operation Bulldog & Great Refusal
Deployed in 3059 during Operation Bulldog, the unit was part of the newly formed SLDF Task Force that destroyed Clan Smoke Jaguar's units on Kiamba. It later routed the surviving Jaguar forces on Schuyler. The 1st Genyosha journied with Victor Steiner-Davion's task force to Huntress & ultimately the Clan homeworld of Strana Mechty in 3060. There, Tai-sa Hohiro Kurita led the command company as part of the Great Refusal trial against the Clan Invasion. The Genyosha fought Clan Blood Spirit's Blood Guard Keshik, defeating them and their khan.
1st Combine-Ghost Bear War

Jihad
The 1st Genyosha arrived on Luthien in February 3068 with remains of the Fourteenth Sun Zhang Cadre to fight the 2nd Sword of Light and other units compromised by the Black Dragons Society. The Sorenson’s Sabres, an independant company attached to the Genyosha, was filling in as reinforcements. The Sabres left in 3072 to join Chandrasekhar Kurita's forces on Arcturus in 3073. The 1st Genyosha, along with other Combine units loyal to Coordinator Theodore Kurita (and later to former Genyosha commanding officer Coordinator Hohiro Kurita), stayed until the planet's liberation in 3074. The unit was reduced to two reinforced companies by the conflict.[2]
