The '''Second Gunzburg Mechanized Infantry Regiment''' was a part of the [[KungsArmé|Rasalhague KungsArmé]] (Royal Rasalhague Army), the military of the short-lived [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], and was a part of the RRA military forces assigned to the [[Radstadt Province]] of the Republic.<ref name="CWSBp66"/> By [[3050]] the KungsArmé had ninety-seven active infantry [[regiment]]s, and more than half of those regiments were mechanized regiments like the Second. KungsArmé infantry regiments were noted for both benefiting from the deep sense of nationalism within the Republic, and being hampered by it; the deep-seated sense of pride instilled in the Nordic majority of the population worked against those skilled soldiers within the rank and file of the infantry regiments who happened to be of Oriental heritage, as they suffered from prejudices generated by that same sense of nationalism.<ref name="20YUp49">''20 Year Update'', p. 49: "Composition"</ref>

By the time [[Clan Wolf]] arrived in the [[Gunzburg]] system in December [[3051]], command of the forces in the [[Radstadt Province]] of the Republic had passed to [[General]] [[Tor Miraborg]],<ref name="CWSBp66">''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 66</ref> having originally been the responsibility of ''[[Generalmajor]]'' [[Gunnar Mannerheim]].<ref name="20YUp49"/> Stationed on Gunzburg when the Wolves arrived were the [[Gunzburg Eagles]], a [[BattleMech]] regiment, the Second and a sister regiment, the [[First Gunzburg Mechanized Infantry Regiment]] and the [[First Gunzburg Armored Regiment]].<ref name="CWSBp66"/>

In the end, the Second didn't end up battling Clan Wolf forces; as part of the internal politicking within Clan Wolf, [[Star Colonel]] [[Marcos Radick]] and [[Khan]] [[Natasha Kerensky]] engaged in a competitive bidding process that saw Kerensky ultimately bid just a single person to conquer Gunzburg - [[Phelan Kell]]. Kell was able to negotiate the surrender of Gunzburg with General Miraborg, and Gunzburg became a part of the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone.<ref name="CWSBp66"/>
