The best source of [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] for the Fourth since the formation of the regiment had been the [[An Ting Academy]], a former [[Star League Defense Force]] facility that the planetary government had renovated during the [[First Succession War]] and turned into an academy, producing skilled MechWarriors, [[aerospace fighter]] pilots and elite special forces infantry. In [[3015]] alumni from the [[Sun Zhang Military Academy]] raided the An Ting Academy in retaliation for defeats during the [[Kensai Kami]], and the An Ting Academy closed. In addition to the loss of the graduates the An Ting Academy had provided, the Fourth and her sister regiment continued to slide down the priority list for supplies from the DCMS.<ref name="FM:DCp97"/>

[[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] faced the heaviest resistance yet seen from the DCMS, as the bolstered troops fought for every centimeter of ground and even forced the Jaguars to withdraw from a number of worlds attacked during the Fourth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]] because they had underestimated the strength of the opposition and underbid when competing for worlds to invade.<ref name="ICp59">''Invading Clans'', p. 59, "Fourth Wave: The Jaguar Stumbles"</ref>
