The regiments were effectively destroyed in the Reunification War, but during the conflict they developed a reputation for being tenacious fighters. They were rebuilt in the years that followed, and the surviving officers and troops were able to instill that tenacity in the new regiments. During the Star League era they were deployed when long-term campaigns away from support were anticipated. At this time the regiments were typically organized as a single battalion of heavy 'Mechs supported by two battalions of medium 'Mechs, supported by a large contingent of support vehicles.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 15</ref>

In the Jihad the Canopian Fusiliers defended their worlds with skill, but suffered heavy losses. The First Canopian Fusiliers fought forces from the former [[Free Worlds League]], while the other two regiments fought the [[Word of Blake]] in the Magistracy itself. The Second in particular took heavy losses from the Word. The Third was actually forced out of [[Capellan Confederation]] space during [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]], and then spent the rest of the Jihad defending the core of the Magistracy from the [[42nd Shadow Division]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', pp. 138–139</ref>

After the Jihad ended, the member regiments of the Fusiliers lost their skills. To remedy this, they were assigned to allied nations to participate in defensive operations.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 192–193</ref>
