In the [[FedCom Civil War]] the Royal New Capetown Training Battalion was ordered to assault [[Coventry]] with the [[11th Arcturan Guards]]. They landed and were quickly overwhelmed by elements of the [[7th Crucis Lancers]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 129</ref>

Cadets only participated for two months before being assigned to a line unit of the [[LCAF]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 105</ref>
 
 
 
===Dark Age===
 
In [[3145]] [[New Capetown]] was held by [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. The Royal New Capetown Training Battalion was destroyed in that action.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 168</ref>

As of [[3062]] to [[3067]] the commanding officer was ''Kommandant'' Alfred Vaughn, he was promoted to the rank of an [[Colonel]] and held to command of the unit in [[3085]].<ref name=FMLAp123>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 123, "Royal New Capetown Training Battalion Unit Profile"</ref><ref name=FMUp178>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 178, "LAAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM3085p108>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 108, "LAAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref>
