Xin Sheng Campaign
Returned to Capellan service when the Xin Sheng movement was launched.[1]
Re-stationed on Second Try. Then 3066 trials began between House Liao and House Marik. The Ambermarle's Highlanders and the Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry attacks Zion, the Steel Guard on Asuncion began loudly debating whether to go to the Third Guard's assistance or wait for orders to assault the Confederation. The Raiders jumped over the border to hit the Steel Guard and giving the Highlanders time to withdraw.[2]
Jihad
The Harloc Raiders fought on Zurich and New Aragon and joined the final assault on Pleione in 3077. This assault was so successful that the system fell to the Capellan Confederation.[3] Joining the Harlock Raiders in the assault on Pleione in June were Warrior House Hiritsu and Roman's Mounted Fusiliers.[4] After this the Raiders redeployed to Algot.[3]
Officers
- As of 3056 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Wu Kang Kuo.[5]
- As of 3063 to 3085 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Wu Deng Tang , most famous for having fought Kai Allard-Liao in a Solaris Championship Challenge.[1][6][7]
Tactics
Harloc Raiders are familiar with, but not wedded to, traditional Capellan combat doctrine which often allowed the Raiders to surprise their opponents with tactics other Capellan regiments wouldn’t have used. This is one of the advantages the Confederation has gained by sending them abroad as a part of the Operation Bulldog.[8]
They are fond of creating ambushes for the enemy by sending out lone light or medium mechs as a bait, which then lead the enemy right to the rest of the unit. They also excel at hit and run tactics and prefer raiding or defence to major assaults.[9]
