The Thirty-ninth were retasked, joining the [[Bald Eagles]] regiment of the [[Screaming Eagles]] mercenary command in the relief of besieged [[Fourth Syrtis Fusiliers]] on [[Demeter]]. The arrival of the Thirty-ninth and the Bald Eagles in the Demeter system on the 30th of June [[2828]] and the news of the death of [[Chancellor]] [[Ilsa Liao]] on [[Orbisonia]] convinced the senior [[CCAF]] officer, [[Colonel]] [[Jiang Bao]], to withdraw his forces. Having inflicted heavy damage on the Fusiliers, the [[Twenty-fifth Sian Dragoons]] and [[First Redfield Regulars]] withdrew, and [[First Prince]] [[Paul Davion (29th c.)|Paul Davion]] would subsequently award Colonel [[Damien Hasek]], the Commanding Officer of the Fusiliers, the dukedom of [[New Syrtis]] for his actions in defense of Demeter.<ref name="SSWp23">''Second Succession War'', p. 23: "The Suns-Confederation Front"</ref> ===Fourth Succession War=== The Thirty-ninth moved to [[Lee]] to act as a reserve force, but wasn't called on to engage the [[CCAF]].<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 11</ref> ===War of 3039=== The Thirty-ninth was based on [[Freedom]], along with several other [[AFFS]] and [[LCAF]] units, as part of a group that would strike in planned later waves of the invasion. Those plans were aborted however, and the 39th would see no action in the [[War of 3039]].<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 135</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== The 39th completed several combat resupply missions to resistance forces on [[Bone-Norman]], [[Somerset]], and [[Black Earth]].

On Newtown Square, they split into several smaller hunter teams. When the [[14th Donegal Guards]] arrived, the 39th led them on a chase across the world. The 39th regrouped and fought the 14th, facing destruction at the Lyran unit's guns, but the timely arrival of the [[244th Division (ComStar)|244th Division]] allowed Victor Steiner-Davion and the 39th to take the 14th Donegal prisoner. Victor stripped the 14th of their transport assets and gave them to the 39th, leaving the 14th in place on Newtown Square to defend against the [[Clans]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 66</ref> The 39th used their new [[JumpShips]] to land on [[Coventry]], where they destroyed the [[1st Coventry Jaegers]]<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 85</ref> Shortly thereafter they linked up with the [[6th Crucis Lancers]] and took control of [[Alarion]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 100</ref> Once relieved by the [[7th Crucis Lancers]] they went to Tharkad to support [[Peter Steiner-Davion]] in the [[Lyran Alliance]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 176</ref> Though they didn't take part in the final battle of [[Tharkad]], they did remain in orbit as reserve troops.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 176</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 126</ref> They later returned to the Federated Suns and were stationed on Wernke.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 138: "New Syrtis PDZ"</ref> ===Jihad=== The [[Blackwind Lancers]] destroyed the 39th on [[Wernke]] with several thermonuclear strikes.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 66: "Annihilation on Talon"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 39th Avalon Hussars''' |- | [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]]||[[Saunders DuCrimmon]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HD137>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 137 (PDF version): "Sirdar PDZ"</ref> |- | [[Hauptmann General]]||[[Bella Bragg]]||[[3050]]<ref name=20yr24/> |- | [[Major General]]||Bella Bragg||[[3062]]<ref name=FMFS56/> |- | [[General]]||Bella Bragg||[[3067]]<ref name=FM:Up138>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 138: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns Deployment Table"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== During the Star League era all of the Avalon Hussars were required to focus on being both flexible and mobile, with every regiment required to be capable of deploying within eight hours, although many of the Hussars struggled to actually achieve this.<ref name="FR:FS2765p8">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 8: "Avalon Hussars"</ref> After the Clan Invasion a common Thirty-ninth tactic was for the fast scout units go out and search for the enemy formation.
