===FedCom Civil War===
During the early years of the [[FedCom Civil War]], Alarion APM has remained on station on Alarion with the Jaegers.  However, this changed in late October of [[3063]] when leading element of the [[11th Arcturan Guards]] lead by [[Lieutenant General]] [[Maria Esteban]].  Esteban notifies them of the pro-Victor Steiner-Davion forces were on their way here.  Feeling that the Jaegers and green Alarion APM were not up for task with her to fend them off.  She then orders Militia and the Jaegers to abandon their garrison duties and come with her forceThe militia begins what will become its first combat duty since it formation as what will later be referred to as the 11th Arcturan Battlegroup.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 88, "Wave 2, Virtue" - Lt.

After year of fighting broke out during the [[FedCom Civil War]], both of the Province Militia were swept up by [[Leftenant-General]] [[Maria Esteban]]'s [[11th Arcturan Guards]] Loyalist Task Force that gave pursuit of renegade Prince [[Victor Steiner-Davion]].  Both Militia fought some of the most significant battles of the Civil War, until the end of their campaign on [[Thorin]] in [[3066]]Where both militia were garrisoned after proving to be to exhausted from the fighting.

===Jihad===
As part of the 11th Arcturan's growing Task Force of military units, General Esteban moved the unit to [[York]] to set her "Prince Trap".  There with the recent acquired Carlisla APM, the two militia units became bait for Victor Steiner-Davion's task force whom arrived in early [[3065]]. Taking the roll of garrison force stationed outside area known as the Salibury Plains, the unit drew attention of [[6th Crucis Lancers]]. Short of 15 kilometers of the Alarion Milita and its sister unit, 11th Arcturan Guards landed in daring orbital drop behind the 6th Crucis Lancers.

Finding themselves in trap, the Crucis Lancers fled the APMs, moving west of York's capital city. The Alarion and Carlisle regiments being faster than the heavily laden 6th Crucis, allowed the unit damage unit as it withdrew to their Landing Zone and fled the planet.<ref>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'' page 102-103 Wave 3 - York - Alarion APM with Carlisle APM lure and give chance to the 6th Crucis Lancers until they flee the plant.</ref>
