Operation Guerrero
Used its assault expertise along the Federated Commonwealth and Capellan borders, attacking Masterson in 3045 and Chamdo in 3048.[1]
Became the instigator of the Gibson crisis in 3054 when the then commanding officer, Nathan Roush used elements of the unit in an attempt to discredit Captain-General Thomas Marik. He provided insurgents on Gibson with a nuclear weapon from Regulan stocks and covertly transferred the Second Hussar's second Battalion to Gibson.[1] The Word of Blake forces on the world fought the insurgents, and later the Knights of the Inner Sphere that came to investigate the rumors swirling around the planet. The Regulan-backed insurgents fought alongside the Knights against the Word of Blake and Regulan Hussars on the world. The Blakist forces surrendered to the Knights when the Second Regulan Hussar's commander launched his tactical nuclear device. The captured Regulan Hussar equipment was given to the Knights as spoils of war, and the battalion was disbanded.
The new unit was reassigned to Goth Khakar, a system along the Periphery border. This tough world allowed the Second time to regroup and recover. After rebuilding to regimental strength, they served as escorts for diplomats heading to the Niops Association as well as pirate hunters.[2]
Jihad
Destruction
Sometime during the Jihad, the 2nd Regulan Hussars deployed to Wallis to defend that planet from invaders. In May, 3071 the 49th Shadow Division attacked the world and destroyed the 2nd Regulan Hussars completely.[3]
Reconstitution
By 3077, the 2nd Regulans had been rebuilt by Regulan Prince Titus Cameron-Jones. The reconstructed unit as part of Brigade wide recontruction and rebuilding, had its iconish 2nd Green Monster Assault Battalion, reactived for service. The Regiment's lances sometimes would receive same-design lances.[4]
Officers
As of 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Oskar Hausen.[1] He was still in command in 3067.[5]
Tactics
Specializes in assault operations and planetary invasions, the unit favor frontal assaults.[1]
