The 1st and 2nd were disbanded, the best Lyran loyalist troops and equipment being transferred to bolster the showpiece [[Alliance Jaegers]]. The remaining brigades served as sink units for troops whose loyalty to the Archon-Princess was suspect; they were not re-equipped, and used mostly outdated war matériel.

During the [[Jihad]], the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Alliance Guards were used as reserve forces that supplemented the "more trustworthy" [[LAAF]] troops. Several Guards units took part in heavy offensives, and took serious damage as a result. In addition, the Guards units were picked clean for "politically reliable" troops who could make up losses in other LAAF commands. As they are near the end of the supply list, they will likely receive units cast off from other Alliance commands as they upgrade. At the moment, the lack of supplies hasn't been a problem because the Guards units lack the troops to pilot the missing machines.<ref name=FRLAp8>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 8</ref>
