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]
The 305th also assaulted the north side of the Inner Sphere base, striking at the 10th Skye Ranger and Coventry Donegal March Militia units stationed there.[2] The Falcons were driven off, but they later slammed into the Eridani Light Horse's position supported by Arrow IV and Thumper artillery. Despite this, they were repelled by the Horsemen.[3]
During the fighting on Coventry, the unit was composed of Trinaries and Novas, afterwards it was reduced to Binaries.[4] 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.[5]
Tactics
The 305th Assault Cluster lost all its tactical specialties in the Refusal War. During the fighting on Coventry they preferred head on fights.[5]
