When that polity joined the [[Capellan Confederation]], the Armored Cavalry became the provincial force for the St. Ives Commonality. Prior to the Confederation's creation, each member world of the Mercantile Association was responsible for raising and equipping its own Armored Cavalry unit. This led to a series of units that were tactically skilled and highly motivated, but lacked any real strategic coordination with their fellow regiments. The formation of the Confederation allowed the Strategios to rectify this shortcoming, and the St. Ives Armored Cavalry quickly became one of the best units in the CCAF.<ref name=fr2765ccp14/> In [[3007]], they assaulted [[Weekapaug]], but were driven off by [[Wolf's Dragoons]] [[Beta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Beta Regiment]].<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 11</ref> After the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]], the St. Ives Armored Cavalry only remained because Duchess Candace Liao promised that they would never be deployed outside the borders of the St. Ives Commonality without her permission.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 29</ref> During the [[Jihad]], the First and Second St. Ives Lancers counterattacked [[Federated Suns]] units that participated in [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]].<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 18</ref> The various regiments of the St. Ives Armored Cavalry proved their loyalty to the [[Chancellor]] and the [[Capellan Confederation]] with their actions in the Jihad, and while the SIAC remained apart from the regular [[CCAF]] military because of their St. Ives origins, by [[3081]], they were once more one of the premiere assault commands of the Confederation.
