The Capellan Reserve Cavalry formed during the years between the repeal of the [[Star League]] [[Council Edict of 2650]] in [[2572]] and the eruption of the [[Amaris Coup]]. The [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] had expanded rapidly, as did the militaries of the other [[Great House]]s, and the Capellan Reserve Cavalry was the last of the [[CCAF]] [[brigade]]s to form (or re-form) prior to the Coup. Between 2572 and [[2765]] the Reserve Cavalry mustered seven new regiments, with the intention that the Reserve Cavalry would act as rapid reinforcements to other units and as a source of replacement personnel for frontline commands. Like the other regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, the '''Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' was an odd combination of volunteer corps, training cadre and militia, with standing orders for the junior [[Colonel]] in charge of the Sixth to subordinate his command to and place it at the full disposal of any frontline command it served alongside. This allowed the Sixth to act as a synergistic part of the superior formation, free of internal power struggles or conflicts.<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 16: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref>

The Sixth was one of the heavier regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, and was composed almost entirely of new recruits, who were full of patriotism, vigor and fiery enthusiasm. The majority of the personnel initially recruited into the Sixth were employees of Firmir Commercial; with a wave of Capellan patriotism and nationalism sweeping through the Confederation following [[Barbara Liao]]'s investiture as [[Chancellor]] in [[2760]], the local commonality president, [[Kareem Bizrah]], gave a fiery, rousing speech to Firmir Commercial's employees, culminating in a rallying cry calling for them to give there all for the people of the Confederation. More than nine hundred Firmir employees marched to the local [[CCAF]] recruiting station to enlist, and whilst many of them were either deemed unsuitable for military service or were inducted into the local home guard, enough remained to merit creating the Sixth, which was immediately dubbed "The Firmir Yeomanry".<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16"/>

The unit was reactivated by [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] in wake of invasion of rogue [[St. Ives Compact]] 2nd battalion of the [[Blackwind Lancers]] in [[3060]]. The unit's creation was partially political in nature and led to the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]].

The Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry served on [[Indicass]] and [[Denbar]] during the ''Xin Sheng'' campaign. After hostilities ended, the unit returned to those worlds as a peace offering. The two worlds accepted the Cavalry's presence, but generally didn't warm to the unit. Denbar's inhabitants in particular were very cold to the Cavalry. In response, the Sixth used a ''[[Firestarter (BattleMech)|Firestarter]]'' whose fuel tanks had been filled with paint to spray graffiti all over the tarmac of the main spaceport. The scale of the graffiti was such that it only became visible at an altitude of thousand meters or more.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 22</ref> The Sixth returned to Hustaing in [[3067]].<ref name=FMUp32/>
