===War of 3039===
 
In July [[3039]] the Eighth Alshain Regulars and the [[11th Legion of Vega|Eleventh Legion of Vega]] landed on [[Alrakis]], a system that had been taken by the [[LCAF]] earlier in the year. They timed their assault to a local festival that had the local LCAF troops drunk, and Draconis Combine sympathizers in the militia disrupted the LCAF's response. This allowed the DCMS troops to land unopposed.<ref name=hw3039p73/> They fought against the [[23rd Arcturan Guards|Twenty-third Arcturan Guards]], who left the world on August 13.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 74</ref>

===Clan Invasion===
As of [[3050]], the Regulars were stationed on [[Buckminster]].<ref name=20yup43>''20 Year Update'', p. 43</ref> By the autumn of [[3051]], the unit had been moved to garrison [[Thessalonika]], in order to meet the threat of the [[Clan Invasion]]. They were stationed there when [[Clan Ghost Bear]] attacked, that same season. They lost the battle, but tied up [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta Galaxy]] for over a week with the help of the [[Twelfth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]. Roughly two-thirds of the unit was able to get off Thessalonika, along with some elements from the Twelfth.<ref name=FMDC36>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 36: "Unit Profile"</ref>
