===Formation===
The '''Third Ghost Regiment''' was formed in 3040.<ref name=FMDC114>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 114</ref> The ''oyabun'' responsible for staffing the unit committed suicide after misunderstanding one of Theodore's wishes. When he died, most of the Third's loyalty to the DCMS died as well. Each battalion of the Third Ghost was drawn from a different ''yakuza'' clan, and they tended to think of themselves as separate units instead of a single regiment.<ref name=FMDC114/>

===War of 3039===
On July 15 [[3039]] the Third and [[4th Ghost|Fourth]] Ghost Regiments landed on [[Breed]] and engaged the defending FedCom forces ([[2nd Robinson Rangers|Second Robinson Rangers]] and [[1st NAIS Cadre]]) in a mobile campaign. The DCMS made the FedCom defenders believe that the invading force was much larger than the incoming two regiments. After the landing, the fight continued for three weeks without a clear winner. The Fourth Ghost got new orders to continue their raids deeper into enemy territory and the Second Robinson Rangers were recalled to Robinson to increase the defense for an anticipated attack which never occurred.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 112–113</ref>

==Tactics==
The Third Ghost is the most traditional of all the Ghost Regiments. They tend to favor stand-up fights rather than the integrated attacks preferred by Theodore Kurita. They also tend to operate as separate battalions rather than a single regiment; this is a holdover from their origins.<ref name=FMDC114/>

==Paint Scheme==
 +
The standard paint scheme for the Ghost regiments begins with a base coat of gray so light that it appears almost white. Accenting is usually white or darker gray. The Third Ghost warriors use white striping to accent their machines. Following the lead of the First Ghost troops, they also decorate their 'Mechs with full-body designs that remind them of their lives in the yakuza. The Third's design is a stylized stream of water that begins at the center-right torso of each 'Mech and branches into two streams. One stream swirls along the 'Mech's left arm and the other spirals down the left leg, so that the entire left side each unit 'Mech is awash in blue-green.<ref name=FMDC114/>
