Formation
The command was created under the Defense Act of 2464 as the first real mech unit within the Free Worlds League.[1] Over the centuries they prove their worth through unquestionable service.
With the 2nd Guards lead the FWLM forces into the former Terran Hegonomy and their final goal was Terra itself. The command used a secret base as preparation for the invasion but unknown forces attack the Guards during the Procyon Campaign in 2789. [1]
The unit was heavy involved in fighting along the former terran borders and also at the capellan front troughout of the 1st Succession War.
With the start of the 2nd Succession War the command make an successful raid at the Liao planet Shiro III. The material which was taken was transfered to other units. The command was then assigned to lyran border.

Though most of the Clan Invasion, the Second Free Worlds Guards remained at their duty station. The garrison duties had blunted their skill slightly, but the Second was still a formidable force.[2]
Jihad
The Second participated in Operation BROKEN FIST, counterattacking into the Lyran Alliance. They rebuilt their losses and remained on the Lyran border until the Circinus Federation invaded Poulsbo and Khon Kaen. At that point the Second sent a battalion to the worlds as part of a task force. This battalion was destroyed in the fighting, but the task force successfully ejected the Circinians from both worlds.[3]
Officers
As of 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Josiah Kimbolton.[4]
As of 3050 to 3054 the commanding officer was Colonel Kamps Stattun.[5][6] Stattun was still in command as of 3059.[7]
