The regiment was destroyed by Word of Blake forces on [[Yorii]] and [[Lyons]].

On [[Yorii]], several bomb blasts (determined to be large "dirty bombs") were detected in the heart of Neo-Tokyo, devastating hundreds of city blocks, destroying several power nodes, and severing two major highway arterials over the Shokaku Ocean. As emergency crews responded to the massive disaster, waves of unidentified [[aerofighter]]s dropped several bombs on the 60-million-acre fishing rights belonging to Kishi Amalgamated, releasing a chemical agent that begun to systematically destroy the fertile gorii-tuna awaiting harvesting there. As the Night Stalkers began to muster, the incoming [[DropShip]]s unleashed a devastating missile attack on the island base, destroying it with multiple nuclear blasts and sending a tsunami across the Minamoto Sea that devastated the coastal croplands near Neo-Tokyo. It is unknown at this time if any Night Stalker units survived the bombardment. The death toll is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, though the greater damage is to the massive fisheries that cover almost seventy percent of the planet's oceans.<ref name=BFEWMD>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [05/07/3068]: "Blakist Forces Employ WMDs on Altair, Yorii"''</ref>
 
 
 
Its surviving members were held in Blakist reeducation camps.  Few survived.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref> The Third was officially listed as destroyed in [[3085]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 36</ref> The three survivors of the unit were transferred into the ''[[Otomo]]'' to honor their years of resistance against the Blakists, even while in prison.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 43</ref>

The Third's commanding officer in [[3059]] was ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Clifford Mattila]].
