During the [[Ronin War]], the unit operated as a garrison force. It was providentially used to as garrison force starting in July [[3034]], when it was sent to [[Engadin]]. The Second was there to relieve the [[2nd Genyosha|Second Genyosha]] just after they had completed its extermination of survivors of the [[9th Rasalhague Regulars|Ninth Rasalhague Regulars]] after shattering the unit during its attack in June.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', pp. 106, 111, 120–121: Unit's origin as an Infantry Regiment, and its brief history during the war being used as a garrison unit after being formed formally as frontline command</ref> − − ===The Clan Invasion=== − During [[Operation Revival]] the regiment was stationed on [[Hainfeld]]. The world was defended by a large garrison force, which lacked sufficient air defense capabilities. The assaulting Wolf Clan task force ([[Green Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Green Keshik]], [[Nega Garrison (Clan Wolf)|Nega]], and [[Dorbeng Garrison (Clan Wolf)|Dorbeng Garrison Clusters]]) made a night combat drop at the capital. The Freemen retreated off-world to avoid damage to the civilian infrastructure.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 66</ref> − − Both sides met again on [[Carse]] in February [[3052]]. The invaders ([[Red Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Red Keshik]], [[11th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|11th Wolf Guards]], [[37th Striker (Clan Wolf)|37th Striker Cluster]]) landed far away from all important objectives. The CO of the Freemen used his scouts and set a series of engagements. The bad weather conditions hampered the Clan, preventing the use of its [[aerospace fighter]]s. The Second inflicted serious damage on several Wolf Clan units before withdrawing to [[Ueda]].<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 69</ref> Also on Carse was approximately a quarter of the [[Twenty-third Arcturan Guards]] [[RCT]], who had refused orders to redeploy; these forces fought alongside the Second Freemen, but where the Freemen managed to escape with approximately half their forces, only a handful of personnel from the Guards escaped; included among the casualties and captured prisoners were two regiments from the Guards infantry brigade, most notably the [[73rd Guards Jump Regiment|Seventy-third Guards Jump Regiment]].<ref name="FM:LAp60">''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 60: "23rd Arcturan Guards RCT: The Frost Giants"</ref> − − ===Clan Invasion Era and Raiding the Ghost Bear Dominion=== − After the [[Truce of Tukayyid]] the KungsArmé shipped a great deal of equipment to the Second Freemen, hoping to put more effective weapons in the hands of soldiers who could use it. Once the unit was rebuilt, it became a symbol of Rasalhague's determination to resist the Clans, expanding into a Regimental Combat Team by 3062.<ref name="fmcs70">''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 70: Second Freemen - Strength through Growth - Armed force report, noting Second Freemen's activities, noting that the Elected-Prince expanded the unit into a Combat Team</ref> − − In [[3065]], the Second Freemen were assigned to probe the territory claimed by [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. During this expedition they met the [[1st Rasalhague Bears (Clan Ghost Bear)|1st Rasalhague Bears]], a Cluster commanded by [[Ragnar Magnusson]]. Rather than engage their Elected Prince in combat, the Second withdrew. During this campaign, the regiment acquired a [[Ghost Bear (species)|Ghost Bear]]cub which they named [[Snuggle]] and adopted as the regimental mascot.<ref name="fmu92">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 92</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: Jihad'', p. 70</ref> − − ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable" − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="3" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 2nd Freemen''' − |- − | ''[[Överste]]''||[[Rhett Weaver]]||[[3050]] - [[3067]]<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 51</ref><ref name="fmcs70"/><ref name="fmu99">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 99</ref> − |- − | [[Star Colonel]]||[[Ivar Øygard]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM3145p173>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 173</ref> − |- − |} − − ==Tactics== − * 3062 - The Second Freemen specialized in anti-Clan tactics.
