By [[2582]] the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] had been in a state of civil war for seven years, and the [[2nd Amaris Fusiliers|Second Amaris Fusiliers]], who had remained loyal to [[Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]], were based on the world of [[Bucklands]] within the [[Finmark Province]] of the Republic. The [[Star League]] had initiated [[Operation MAILED FIST]] in mid-[[2581]], but the SLDF plans had been forced to change after a deep raid by the one of the Second's sister regiments, the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers|Fourth Amaris Fusiliers]], had managed to strike at the Lyran Commonwealth interior world of [[Alarion]].<ref name="H:RWp132+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132-133, "Alarion (December 2581)"</ref>
By [[2582]] the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] had been in a state of civil war for seven years, and the '''Second Amaris Fusiliers''', who had remained loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]], were based on the world of [[Bucklands]] within the [[Finmark Province]] of the Republic.

The result was the reorganisation of the SLDF forces and their auxiliaries into three battlegroups, each responsible for the pacification of one of the three provinces that made up the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Island Hopping (2582-2590)"</ref> Bucklands and the Second Fusiliers were the first targets of the battlegroup assigned to pacifying the Finmark Province, and the SLDF deployed [[VIII Corps (Star League)|VIII Corps]] - which actually consisted of two [[division]]s, the [[31st Armor Divison (Star League)|Thirty-First Armor Division]] and the [[32nd Divison (Star League)|Thirty-Second Division]] at the time, but was still predominantly an infantry corps - to the battle for Bucklands.<ref name="H:RWp133"/>

VIII Corps planners thought that Buckland's broad plains would give them an advantage over the Rim Worlds Republic military forces stationed on the world. This proved incorrect, as the light armor forces within the Second Fusiliers proved very adept at evading SLDF patrols, repeatedly slipping past patrols and pickets to strike at weak points within the SLDF positions. The sheer tenacity displayed by the Rim Worlds defenders - a unit the SLDF was notionally supporting with their campaign to restore Gregory Amaris to power - was a shock for VIII Corps, whose infantry-heavy forces frequently found themselves on the retreat despite the numerical advantage the SLDF enjoyed on paper. The net result was an indication of what the SLDF would find happening on numerous other worlds within the Republic - an extended seven month campaign before Bucklands was pacified and the defending forces finally broken.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Helbrent to Nightwish (July 2582 - November 2584)"</ref>
