History

The 305th Assault Cluster lost Montmarault to the First Viper Guards during the Fifth Wave of Operation Revival. Destroyed on Baker 3 by Clan Wolf forces during the Refusal War. Rebuilt with a mix of veterans and new recruits and sent on to fight on Coventry, taking approximately forty percent losses in that campaign.[citation needed]

While on Coventry, the 305th faced off against the Eridani Light Horse's 71st Light Horse Regiment. During this engagement, the Light Horse units destroyed the 305th's supporting artillery units and then forced the 305th out of their positions. The 305th inflicted severe damages on the Horsemen however, making this one of the Light Horse's costliest victories.[1]

As of 3059, the unit was considered dangerously understrength.[citation needed]

Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Tara. She also led the unit in the Coventry campaign.[2]

Tactics

The 305th Assault Cluster lost all its tactical specialties in the Refusal War. During the fighting on Coventry they preferred head on fights.[2]
