On Zion they repulsed a border raid by the Fusiliers of Oriente in 2880.

In 2881 they captured some fighters from the Marik Militia during a raid on Calloway VI.

By 2910, they'd started to raid in the Capellan March.

In 2922, forces of the command held some AFFS forces in place until the timely arrival of Warrior House LuSann.

In 2948, the unit participated in raids on Lee to take the pressure off Tikonov.

In 2987, they destroyed important supplies of the House Davion raiders.
