===Operation GREAT FLOOD===
 
During [[Operation GREAT FLOOD]], the First Liao Guards landed on [[Styk]], [[New Canton]], and [[Zion]] after other [[CCAF]] regiments captured the planets. They then hunted down the remaining [[RAF]] stragglers and pacified the worlds. They later served as the garrison for the planet [[Liao]] soon after its capture and received a victory parade in [[Cynthiana]] from an elated public.<ref name=FM3145p35/>

===Operation CELESTIAL REWARD===
The only Liao Guards regiment to participate in [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]], the First Liao Guards were assigned to capture several former Republic worlds annexed by the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=FM3145p35/> Victorious against the usually ''ad hoc'' garrisons found on these planets, the Liao Guards were easily defeated by the defending [[Third Federated Suns Armored Cavalry]] on [[Rio]]. They would later return to capture the planet after the Third FSAC redeployed to counter the ongoing [[Draconis Combine]] invasion.<ref name=FM:3145p72>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 72: "Third Federated Suns Armored Cavalry"</ref>

====Operation TIAMAT====
 
As part of [[Operation TIAMAT]] the First Liao Guards assaulted [[Epsilon Indi]] in August [[3149]] alongside [[Warrior House Orders|Warrior House]] [[Warrior House Dai Da Chi|Dai Da Chi]]. Initially stymied by the shell games of the [[XIII Hastati Sentinels|Thirteenth Hastati]] and other Republican defenders, prisoner interrogations by House Dai Da Chi informed the Liao Guards that only a battalion of the Thirteenth was defending the capital and spaceport. Over the next week the Guards hammered the Thirteenth with air strikes before overwhelming the Republican defenders.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 72</ref>
