==History==
 
==History==
The Eighty-second was one of the most prestigious units in the [[SLDF]], tracing its heritage back to the [[w:82nd Airborne Division|Eighty-second Airborne Division]], a famous military unit from the former United States of America on [[Terra]]. Assignments to the Eighty-second were considered such a privilege that some officers were willing to take demotions in order to take up available positions within the division; the Eighty-second's Commanding Officer in [[2764]], [[Major General]] [[Thomas Alexander]], was one such officer, having served as the Commanding Officer of [[XL Corps (Star League)|XL Corps]] before requesting his assignment to the Eighty-second.<ref name="FM:SLDFp183">''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 183, "82nd Royal Jump Infantry Division"</ref>
+
In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[XXIII Corps (Star League)|XXIII Corps]], [[Fifteenth(Star League)|Fifteenth Army]], to District 2 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]] but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]] to take part in the [[Reunification War]] by [[2765]].<ref name=SL148>''The Star League'', p. 148, "Fifteenth"</ref>. The 82nd survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]], and followed General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] in [[2784]].<ref name=SL148/>
  
In 2764 the Eighty-second was serving as a part of [[XXIII Corps (Star League)|XXIII Corps]] within the [[15th Army (Star League)|Fifteenth Army]], assigned to District 2 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]], but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]] in [[2765]] as part of the redeployment effort to fight the [[Periphery Uprising]].<ref name=SL148>''The Star League'', p. 148, "Fifteenth"</ref> The Eighty-second survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]], and followed General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] in [[2784]].<ref name=SL148/>
