| − | Founded by nine former graduates from the [[Lexington Military Academy]] on [[Terra]] who chose to remain in the [[Inner Sphere]] rather than accompany [[Operation Exodus|Kerensky's Exodus]], the combined armed Lexington Combat Group provided sterling service for its employers during the [[Succession Wars]], most frequently serving the [[Federated Suns]]. The unit's ties to House Davion become increasingly permanent during the era of the [[Clan Invasion]] when the LCG accepted a 70 year contract with the Suns in return [[LosTech]] upgrades for their regiments, virtually becoming a line unit of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. <ref name=MS>''Mercenary Supplemental'', p. 46</ref>

| − | However, like so many other mercenary units in the Federated Suns, the LCG suffered grievous losses during both the [[FedCom Civil War]] and the Jihad, with its regiments seeing action during Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek's]] [[Operation Sovereign Justice]] and the Capellan's [[Operation Thunderstrike]] counter-strike. Relying almost completely upon the AFFS Department of the Quartermaster for resupply, the LCG discovered that being "almost" a line unit was meaningless in the desperate days of the Jihad, with supplies earmarked for them consistently reassigned by the [[Capellan March]] command to regular AFFS units. With the mercenaries not even receiving enough material to sustain basic maintenance levels, [[Marshal of the Armies]] [[Jonathan Davion]] recognised the critical situation represented by the loss of the LCG as a viable combat unit to the Federated Suns. Davion personally met to negotiate for the mercenaries to join the AFFS as part of the Ceti Hussars, a brigade noted for its absorption of ex-SLDF units and combined armed focus shared by the LCG. The LCG agreed in Janurary [[3076]], merging to become the fully-formed and combat ready Fourth Ceti Hussars. <ref name=M&M>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 47</ref>
