History


Clan Invasion

In 3050, they were defeated by Clan Jade Falcon on Anywhere during the first wave of Operation Revival, facing the 8th Falcon Regulars. The Chasseurs had just been rotated to the planet, and were unfamiliar with its terrain. It is unclear if any of the Chasseurs made it off planet. [1] As of 3054, they were still considered inactive. [2]

The unit was rebuilt in 3062 with new academy graduates from New Ivaarsen. Their sister regiment transferred many experienced officers and non-commissioned officers into the unit, but it was only with extensive training and preparation that the unit was able to come together.[3]

Like the First new Ivaarsen Chasseurs, the Second didn't participate in the FedCom Civil War. Instead they were kept on New Ivaarsen to protect that world.[4] After the FedCom Civil War ended, the Second was transferred to Dobson to guard the Draconis Combine/Federated Suns border.[5]

During the early years of the Jihad the Second raided Galedon to liberate several prisoner of war camps. They were joined by the 12th Deneb Light Cavalry and 2nd Robinson Rangers. After making planetfall, the unit was exposed to the "Curse of Galedon" plague and most of the soldiers died. The few survivors made it to An Ting, but the unit was destroyed.[6]

Officers

  • As of 3050, the commanding officer was Leftenant General Jacob Greensville. [8]
  • As of 3062, the commanding officer was Leftenant General Winona Stephenson-Voss. [3]

In 3067 the Second was commanded by Colonel Julian Poole.[5]

Tactics

Because they the unit was recently formed they haven't developed any unique battlefield tactics.[3]
