Overview
The 5th Jaguar Regulars were a front line military formation of Clan Smoke Jaguar.
History
Operation Revival
As part of Alpha Galaxy the Fifth Regulars successfully bid for and fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave One
Richmond
The defenders of Richmond, the First Alshain Regulars formed the only significant opposition that Clan Smoke Jaguar encountered during the First Wave in March 3050. Lincoln Osis issued the Batchall and the Alshain Regulars commander Tai-Sa Donald Ashira answered with honor. Ashira took a defensive positionin the rocky ground at Crag Gorge and the Second Battle Trinary and Trinary Assault were bid to face them. Over the course of four days the Jaguar Regulars whittled down their opponents. The Alshain troops finally took a defensive position at Olderson Pass and fought to the last facing a frontal assault. Only five percent of the defenders survived to become bondsmen.[1]
Wave Three
Hanover<>/u>
The Third Battle Supernova successfully bid to attack Hanover in July 3050. Defending the planet were two 'Mech Battalions of the Hanover Militia, that had taken a defensive position in the foothills of the Worldspine Mountains. The fighting dragged out for nine days, the Militia used their hidden supply bases but the Third Battle Supernova started to run short of munitions forcing the commander to call in reinforcements to flank the defenders and finish them off. The last engagement was fought in a blizzard resulting in heavy casualties for both sides. Eventually the Militia surrendered after agreeing honorable terms.[2]
Wave Five
Labrea
Having previously encountered an honorable foe the Fifth Jaguar Regulars again issued a Batchall for Labrea in November 3051. The 3rd Royal Labrean Defense Regiment answered the Jaguar but failed to mention their aerospace wing. The Fifth bid Trinary Assault however when they came under air attack they considered this a falsehood and launched a night raid against the RLDR airfields destroying all the grounded fighters. Trinary Assault then hunted down the rest of the unit, fighting a major engagement at Colodney, before finishing both armoured battalion after a week of combat.[3]
Luthien
In January 3052 the Fifth landed on Luthien and were one of the first Clusters to see action. The opening attack by the First Jaguar Guards had stalled and was being pushed back as Combine reinforcements arrived. The Fifth counter attacked with air support and broke through the defenders line on the Tairakana Plains.[4] They soon found themselves embroiled with the 1st Sword of Light's secondary line and the freshly committed First Genyosha who launched an all-out counter assault against the Clan flank, where they received heavy casualties. The push by the Genyosha against the Fifth Jaguar Regulars folded the Jaguar right flank back on itself inflicting heavy damage, but somehow they consolidated their force forming a wedge formation and pushed through the DCMS defenders for a second time, forcing them to retreat again.[5] The fight continued on the Tairakana Plains for over five hours.[6]
Officers
- Star Colonel Beaumont. [5]
Tactics
