:*[[2925]] - The Grenadiers and [[Kamakura's Hussars]] were attacked on [[Battle of Hassad (2925)|Hassad]], by [[House Marik]] forces utilizing large force of ''[[Scorpion (BattleMech)|Scorpion]]'' BattleMechs. The Grenadiers and its allied unit used their more maneuverable ''[[Hornet]]'' light [['Mech]]s to outflank the cumbersome four-legged Marik 'Mechs in some parts of the planet.  However, heavy losses force them to withdraw. (This marks the beginning of the Capellans' trademark doctrine of conserving equipment.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 49: "Limits of Success" - Ishara's Grenadiers pull out after being hammered by Marik ''Scorpion''s.</ref>

Ishara's Grenadiers attacked [[Arboris]] in [[3057]], where their first battalion was defeated by the combined forces of the remnants of the [[Arboris SMM]] (a mixed regiment of BattleMechs, armor, and infantry loyal to the [[FedCom]]) and the [[Farmers' Freedom Army]] (9+ infantry regiments).  The FFA then turned on the Arboris SMM, forcing them to withdraw.  Meanwhile, Ishara's Grenadiers withdrew to the capital city of [[Kansas Plain]] where they waited in vain for supplies from the [[CapCon]].  By the end of 3057, there was a three-way stalemate on Arboris, with the FFA and Arboris SMM suffering raids by the Grenadiers, while the SMM's commander kept failing in his efforts to enact a truce with the FFA.<ref name=CM27>''Chaos March'', p. 27</ref>

They were one of the first [[CCAF]] units sent to reclaim the [[Chaos March]] in [[3060]]. The Grenadiers struck [[Carver V]] expecting the same low level resistance found in the [[Disputed Territories]]. Twenty-four fighters surprised them as they reached the planet. Armor raids followed as soon as the regiment landed. Finally, an assault BattleMech battalion ambushed them as they attacked the planetary capital. Pushed back to their landing zones, the battered regiment was ordered back to [[Aldebaran]] for rest and refit two months later.<ref name=FM:CCp81/>

During their time rebuilding, ''Sang-shao'' Choung Vong received unconfirmed reports that the [[Word of Blake]] was responsible for the disaster inflicted upon them on Carver V. The enraged ''Sang-shao'' promptly shot the WoB acolyte who delivered the confidential report. On their next mission to [[Genoa]], the Grenadiers accidentally targeted a WoB installation during their battle with the local militia. Unable to sugarcoat such public actions, the [[Strategios]] gave reparations using supplies intended for the regiment. This has slowed rebuilding to a crawl and further lowered morale. The unit blamed the WoB for it all, further provoking attacks and reparations. By [[3067]], the unit is still down a battalion of 'Mechs with the overall average weight being reduced to a medium regiment.<ref name=FM:CCp81/> The unit was stationed on the [[Liao Commonality]] world of [[Kaifeng]] as of [[3067]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 25: "Vong Grenadiers unit profile"</ref>

Vong's Grenadiers took serious losses in the fighting against the Illician Lancers, and by the time the mercenary unit withdrew most of the command cohesion was totally gone. When ''Sang-shao'' Vong led an understrength battalion against [[Word of Blake]] forces, the unit's command integrity shattered at last. In [[3077]] a company of MechWarriors deserted from the unit and eventually joined the Republic Armed Forces. In light of the problems facing the unit, the command staff was cashiered by the Strategios in [[3080]]. ''Sang-shao'' Luo Chao was assigned to the unit, which was renamed '''Chao's Grenadiers'''.<ref name=FM85-30/>
