Serving the [[St. Ives Compact]] during the later years of the [[Clan Invasion]], as the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]] turned against the young realm the Carabineers drifted between various [[Chaos March]] factions before traveling to the [[Lyran Alliance]]'s [[Periphery]] border. Based on [[Timbuktu]], Gabhardt's Carabineers were deployed piecemeal over a half-dozen worlds, clashing several times with the mysterious raiders known as the  "[[Green Ghosts]]" known to strike archaeological and religious sites up and down the border. Too thinly deployed and with the "Green Ghost" equipped with Clan technology, the Carabineers suffered increasing losses.<ref name=MSII34/><ref name=MS-68>''Mercenaries Supplemental'', p. 68 - "Mercenary Employment Roster (Deployment as of 1 September 3067)"</ref>

Following the outbreak of the Word of Blake Jihad and rising tensions between Lyran Alliance and Free Worlds League, Gabhardt's Carabineers took part in the combined [[Bolan Province|Bolan]]/[[Skye Province|Skye]] invasion - [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]] - in early to mid-[[3068]]. In June the Carabineers, reinforced by the [[Seventh Donegal Guards]], landed to take [[McAffe]] avenging the heavy losses suffered by the [[Fourth Lyran Regulars]] by shattering the defending [[Ninth Regulan Hussars]]. Left behind to defend the planet, in July McAffe was targeted during the League's [[Operation BROKEN FIST]] first wave counterattack, the Carabineers grossly outnumbered and outmatched as [[Free Worlds League Military]] utterly destroyed the unit to retake the system. The survivors were interned in League POW camp with other Lyran prisoners, by [[3071]] they were still to be ransomed back to the Lyrans. <ref name=MSU-12/> <ref name=JS-TBD-21>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 21-22 "Jihad: The Early Years - OPERATION: “ÜBERSCHATTEN/BROKEN FIST” - Überschatten - Turning Point"</ref>
