In [[3047]], a recon lance of the Second were [[Battle of Galtor (3047)|scouting]] the [[Galtor Naval Yards]] when they were discovered by a lance of the [[Second Amphigean Light Assault Group]]. A brutal melee ensued which cost the life of one Raider MechWarrior and destroyed all four of their ’Mechs. Two of the Raiders and the remains of a third were eventually repatriated.<ref>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 94</ref>

In [[3055]], the Second Raiders were upgraded to a full RCT. The First Raiders had been heavily damaged and lost their skills, and upgrading the Second was the fastest way to retain their unique capabilities.<ref name=FMFS61/>

==Tactics==
Their equipment give this unit the flexibility to counter any enemy movement and uses the high mobile forces for flanking maneuvers. Most of their equipment can move faster than 50 km/h, and over a third of it can exceed 100 km/h for short periods. In addition the unit places a great deal of emphasis on independent operations, allowing the subcommands (from lances to battalions) to function effectively.<ref name=FMFS61/>
