−	=== Star League Era ===	+	===Formation===
−	During the [[Star League era]] the '''Third Proserpina Hussars''' shared a common heritage back to a tank regiment of the same name that served under [[Coordinator]] [[Shiro Kurita]] and the [[Alliance of Galedon]], before the [[Draconis Combine]] was born. Since becoming equipped with BattleMechs, the Proserpina Hussars served as rapid-reaction units, constantly on the move - often staying on a planet for little more than a month or two before moving on.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp14"/>	+	{{Sectionstub}}
−
−	The various Hussar regiments including the Third made a point of regularly challenging [[Star League Defense Force]] units to training exercises, and while the balance of victories lay with the [[SLDF]], the Hussars always represented a challenge and won a surprising number of victories. Unfortunately, the very mobility that was a hallmark of the Hussars was also a disadvantage when it came to ensuring that they were kept adequately supplied, as demands for spares and matériel could take months to catch up to the demanding unit - as could new and replacement personnel.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp14"/>
−
−	In common with the other regiments of the Hussars, the soldiers of the Third were concerned primarily with being the best soldiers they could be; the average member of the Third viewed politics as distasteful, and the high level of confidence each had in their own abilities could lead to the Hussars fighting on past the point at which they should retreat, and taking heavier casualties as a result.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp14"/>

−	In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Galedon]].<ref name=HKp133/>
−
−	===Fourth Succession War===
−	Acting on information provided by [[Fadre Singh]], the Third Proserpina Hussars and [[Fifth Galedon Regulars]] pursued the families of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] as they evacuated [[Draconis Combine]] space. However, the Hussars and Regulars who were assigned to the duty were shamed by it, and used the skill and valor of a battalion of Dragoon cadets as an excuse to let the families escape to [[Cassias]].<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 37</ref>
−	On September 17 [[3028]] the [[Twelfth Galedon Regulars]] Regiment landed on [[Wapakoneta]] alongside the Third Proserpina Hussars. After a nine month war against two deeply entrenched regiments of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] the Combine troops finally gained control of the planet.<ref name=4SWv1-72>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 72</ref> The Third Hussars faced the Fourth Provisional Company of Wolf's Dragoons.<ref>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', pp. 32–33</ref>	+	===4th Succession War===

−	Following the lull in major offensives in early [[3029]], a number of new offensives began as the [[Fourth Succession War]] entered its second year. In early July 3029 [[Coordinator]] [[Takashi Kurita]] moved to [[Irurzun]] from [[Luthien]] and took more of an interest in combat actions on the border between the Draconis Combine and Federated Suns than he had earlier in the war, where his attention had been almost completely focused on Wolf's Dragoons. Ten days after arriving on Irurzun Takashi had drafted and launched a new offensive aimed at securing more worlds from the Federated Suns, and [[Lima]] was one of those worlds. Attacked by the Third Proserpina Hussars, the planetary militia on McComb were swiftly defeated as the DCMS inexorably annexed the Galtor Thumb region.<ref name="4SWv2p30">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 30: "A New Approach"</ref>	+	On September 17 [[3028]] the [[12th Galedon Regulars]] Regiment landed on [[Wapakoneta]] alongside the Third Proserpina Hussars.

−	During the [[Jihad]] the Third Proserpina Hussars were transferred to [[Kiamba]] to dissuade [[Ghost Bear]] adventurism. Once it became clear the Ghost Bears wouldn't attack the Combine, the Third redeployed to [[Niles (DC)|Niles]] to protect the DropShip yards in that system. This meant that by the end of the Jihad the Third was actually closer to full-strength than many Combine regiments. In the aftermath of the Jihad the Third began petitioning the High Command for permission to attack the Dragon's foes.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref>	+	During the [[Jihad]] the Third Proserpina Hussars were transferred to [[Kiamba]] to dissuade [[Ghost Bear]] adventurism.
