Prior to the [[Clan Invasion]], the green ranked 311th Division was posted to the [[4th Army (ComStar)|Fourth Army]] with its headquarters on the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Atlas (system)|Atlas]].<ref name=20YU>''20 Year Update'', p. 70: "4th V-nu"</ref>

Along with the rest of the Fourth Army, the 311th was assigned to assist the [[1st Army (ComStar)|First Army]] combat Clan Ghost Bear during the Battle of Tukayyid. The First Army commander [[Katherine Luarca]] ordered the Fourth Army to stay on station around the secondary target city of Luk while the First Army led the charge against the Bears despite concerns from the Fourth Army commander that the green Fourth Army would be routed in combat against the battle-hardened Bears.

Along with the rest of the Fourth Army, the Three-Hundred and Eleventh was assigned to assist the [[1st Army (ComStar)|First Army]] combat Clan Ghost Bear during the Battle of Tukayyid. Scared that the green units of the Fourth like the 311th would break during combat against the Bears, despite protests from the Fourth Army's commander [[Precentor]] Aryon Tolliver, the First Army commander [[Katherine Luarca]] ordered the Fourth to stay on station around the secondary target city of Luk while the First led the charge against the Bears.
  
When Luarca's decision weakened the defense of the primary target of Spanac and allowed the Ghost Bears to capture it, two divisions from the Fourth unsuccessfully attempted to pin them down in the city with artillery fire to prevent them moving on their brothers back at Luk. With the [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Bears' elite Alpha Galaxy]] shrugging off this assault and tearing into the Fourth Army as Luarca had feared, Luk and the divisions of the Fourth were saved when Luarca ordered the [[103rd Division (ComStar)|103rd Division]] along with the remains of the [[308th Division (ComStar)|308th Division]] to sack Alpha's main supply depot. Guarded only by [[Freeborn|freebirth]] warriors in second line [['Mech]]s and with Alpha's losses mounting, the Bears pulled back to reinforce and safeguard Spanac, earning a marginal victory against the Com Guards.<ref name=T>''Tukayyid'', pp. 48–56: "Campaign: Clan Ghost Bear"</ref><ref name=IC>''Invading Clans'', p. 29: "Tukayyid: World of Fate"</ref><ref name=WC>''Wolf Clan'', pp. 48–49: "Days of Armageddon - Ghost Bear"</ref><ref name=CS>''ComStar'', pp. 69–72: "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref>
