History
The Second Militia took years to recover from a botched raid on the Lyran world of Algorab in 3020 which cost them over half the Regiment. Transferred to the Capellan front in 3024, it was able to go on the offensive more, albeit at the cost of increased casualties. This lead to continuous cycle of raw recruits into the unit, making it difficult for the Second to grow in experience.
In 3038, in conjunction with the Fourth Marik Militia, the Second staged a successful series of raids that were intended to help both units gain experience. It worked, with the Second going on to carry out several more raids against both the Federated Commonwealth and Capellan Confederation over the next decade.
However, the unit's luck turned bad again in 3049, when faulty intelligence caused the Second to grossly underestimate the defenders on Sarna. Hammered by both the Third FedCom RCT and the Sarna Training Battalion, the LCCC was forced to send in the Twelfth Atrean Dragoons to extract the Second.
Officers
As of 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel Alva Gierke
