History
Dating back to the Terran Alliance, the Second Donegal Guards were originally the 11th Terran Rangers. Following the collapse of the Alliance, the 11th Rangers became mercenaries, contracting with the various worlds in the area that would become the Protectorate of Donegal for protection. When Seth Marsden formed his Protectorate, he offered the 11th Rangers, who had been serving as some of the finest mercenaries in the region for almost a century, a place in their nascent military. They accepted, becoming the 2nd Donegal Guard.[1] Having served the Lyran Commonwealth for almost a millennium, the Guard have fought in every major conflict in Commonwealth history save the Clan invasion.
In 3011 they mobilized to relieve the survivors of Winfield's Brigade on Sevren.[2]
The 2nd Donegal conducted the first offensive operation of the War of 3039 when they were tasked to take the world of Kessel alongside the 4th Skye Rangers and 11th Lyran Regulars, defeating the 2nd Sword of Light, as well as the 5th Sun Zhang Cadre and 12th Sun Zhang Cadre. During Operation Bulldog, they made history as the first Lyran regiment ever to be welcomed on to Luthien, and the first to land at all in almost three centuries. Only seeing mop-up action in Bulldog, the 2nd was nonetheless active in the FedCom Civil War, taking part in the brutal fighting on Giausar before General Caesar Steiner called upon them to end the Skye Revolt on Hesperus II.[1][3]
Heavily involved in the Skye-Bolan Offensive against the Free Worlds League, having been lead to believe them responsible for the assassination of their commander in 3068, the 2nd Donegal pulled back in the face of the Marik counter-offensive and focused on keeping the border secure. Having absorbed the remnants of the 3rd Donegal Guards following the liberation of Donegal, the 2nd made it through the Jihad cohesive enough to stage attacks in to the Blakist Hegemony.[4] At the end of the Jihad they found themselves rotated to the Clan front, garrisoning A Place.[4] One of the central pieces of the defense against Clan Jade Falcon, they found themselves faced with troops looking to keep an edge against worthy opponents, and found themselves fighting trials of possession over alcohol and contraband while rebuilding.
Officers
Possibly it's most famous commander, Colonel Caesar Steiner lead the unit as of 3025. He commanded the unit through the 4th Succession War. The 20 Year Update names Leutnant-General Delmar Voss commander of the 2nd, a post he held until he was killed in action on Giausar. Shortly thereafter, Caesar Steiner, now a General, took direct command of the unit once more late in the Civil War. By 3085, Leutnant-General Violet Gates had taken command of the Unwearied Second.[1][3]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Leutnant-General Herman Henriot.[5]
Tactics
The 2nd Donegal Guard possess a reputation for unorthodox, yet effective, tactics. They prefer high-speed combat over the usual Lyran "mountain of metal" tactics, as well as their heavy use of aerospace assets.[1]

Notes
The unit carried the unofficial nickname "Caesar’s Legion" while under the command of Caesar Steiner.
Often, members of the Steiner family not closely in line for the Archonship serve in this unit. The unit's logo, a Steiner fist holding a golden crown, represents this.
