Formed in [[2364]], the Third Kearny Highlanders, as with the other Highlander Regiments, were originally part of a standing army for [[Northwind]]. However the outbreak of the [[Age of War]] saw the Highlanders drawn to the profit that could be made by hiring out their services to various foreign powers.<ref name=NHp7/>

===Destruction===
In [[2841]] the Third was understrength and undergoing extensive refitting and repair on [[Northwind]]. The [[Davion Assault Guards]], [[33rd Avalon Hussars]], and [[21st Rim Worlds]] landed and engaged the Third and [[Stuart's Highlanders]]. The understrength Third garrisoned Cromarty City, but they were smashed by the Twenty-First Rim Worlds and forced out of the city. During their attempt to link up with Stuart's Highlanders, all three [[AFFS]] regiments engaged the Third Highlanders and inflicted massive damage. Only a company of the Third was able to link up with Stuart's Highlanders. Eventually both [[CCAF]] regiments were destroyed.<ref>''Second Succession War (sourcebook)'', pp. 64-65</ref><ref name=NHsp-08>''Northwind Highlanders (scenario pack)'' p. 8</ref><ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental'', p. 51</ref>
