Prior to the Reunification War, V Corps was responsible for the Capellan Military Region, and was initially poised for action against either the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] or [[Taurian Concordat]], but continued training problems within the Corps and ongoing anti–Star League activity within the Capellan Military Region kept V Corps out of both fronts.<ref name="H:RWp30">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 30, "V Corps"</ref>

By late summer, General Forlough had the Expedition move into the Alliance taking worlds. The 5th Corps would be teamed with their House Kurita brigade and would take [[Schirmeck]], [[Tabayama]], and [[Weisau]].

The 5th Corps expedition's progress would be hampered by due to needs of SLDF forces on the [[Taurian Concordat]] front of the war.  The General's drive to take the Alliance's capital world of [[Alpheratz]] was canceled by SLDF High Command and the demands of House Davion's First Prince, [[Alexander Davion]]. In [[2582]], General Forlough took worlds near the Alliance's capital. After the attack of the Alliance's [[Pitcairn Legion]] against the Rasalhague brigade, prove to be too much.  Kurita forces went on a rampage after the destruction of their sister brigade, killing citizens and causing the destruction of Alliance's property.  The 5th and other SLDF forces would be ordered by General Forlough to execute 10 percent of each world's population as deterrent to further attacks against him and the League.

Citizenry of the alliance rallied to fight off what they saw as a cruel invader and through themselves fury of training in anti-'Mech warfare and attack them in human waves. The 5th Corps was left occupying worlds, while their Kurita forces took worlds for their motherland. They were order so due to House Davion refusal to provide provisions for them.

Resistance to the League's occupation continued to grow stronger, as attacks by now trained citizenry continued.  In [[2583]], the 5th Corps was ambushed on [[Tellman IV]], by Outworlds Alliance Army forces backed up by Pitcairn's Legion.  The ambush cost the 5th Corps over two hundred BattleMechs, while only accounting for a hundred of the Alliance's machines. This ambush would later be known as the Day of Vengeance and would greatly deplete both sides of resources to fight.  After the ambush, the campaign's commanding officer, General Forlough, was transferred to the Taurian warfront after the assassination of SLDF General Kincaid.  His replacement, [[Major-General]] Franklin Barnex, would not be able get replacement troops for the damaged 5th Corps.  This prevented the campaign from moving on to take the Alliance's capital.  The Alliance would sign formal end of hostilities, with signing of the Peace of Cerberus.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 50 - Reunification actions.</ref><ref>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 19 Sowing and Reaping - The 5th Corps named as force being SLDF force targeted in the Day of Vengeance.</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Davion'', pp. 42-43 - Alexander Davion's involvement with V Corps's missions in Outworlds Alliance campaign.</ref>

The liberation of Terra against [[Stefan Amaris]]' Military forces occupying the Terran Hegemony, would bring destruction of two of its Mechanized Infantry Divisions, as well as both of its Battle Regiments. Five years after the disbandment of the Star League, [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] called upon the [[SLDF]] to form what would be later called the [[Exodus Fleet]]. They left the Inner Sphere in [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]] in [[2784]].  The majority of the surviving regiments and divisions of the V Corps would join his fleet, with the exception of the 184th Mechanized Infantry Division, which did not muster for the journey into the Periphery.<ref name="SLSB">''The Star League'', p. 144 - 11th Army, V Corps TO&E listing includes which years and known fates of its component regiments and Divisions.</ref>
