====Poznan, Buchlau, Shipka, and Wei====
During the events of [[Operation RAT]], Gamma Regiment, led by [[Colonel]] [[Vella Delacroix]], joined with [[Delta Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Delta Regiment]] and assisted the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] in capturing several worlds from the [[Capellan Confederation]].  In Wave One, they secured [[Poznan]] by liberating the planet's majority of ethnic Hispanic citizens from the oppressive rule of the elite minority, who were mostly of Chinese extraction.  By convincing the citizens to take up arms, Colonel Delacroix created a planetary militia that was willing to secure the planet and eager to join the fold of the Federated Suns when the time came.  In Wave Two, Gamma Regiment's forces easily secured [[Buchlau]] from the hands of the meager planetary militia, then proceeded to capture [[Shipka]] in Wave Four.  To their great fortune, they secured a valuable cache of JumpShip parts that was hidden on that world.  As their string of proven successes grew, AFFS command sought to use their talents in different places.  In Wave Five, Gamma's Second Battalion was detached to fight alongside other [[AFFS]] units on [[Zaurak]], while the First and Third joined with Delta Regiment to attack the planet of [[Wei]], held by the formidable [[Sung's Cuirassiers]].<ref name=NAISv1p32+>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 32–33, 86</ref><ref name=FSWv242>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 42–43: "Wei"</ref>

AFFS command made no effort to conceal the difficulty of the invasion of Wei, or the likelihood that the enemy would resort to desperate measures in their defense when they offered the job to the Rangers. [[Colonel]] [[Mitch Nelson]], leading the detachment of Rangers slated for Wei, was undeterred, taking the job for triple the pay and the promise that any Rangers affected by any potential chemical or biological weapons encountered would receive the best medical care the Federated Suns had to offer.  Nelson landed the Rangers in a scattered, unpredictable pattern across the planet's southern continent, catching the garrisoning Capellans off guard and allowing the Rangers to make rapid progress.  The Capellans deployed chemical munitions several times in a desperate attempt to keep Delta and Gamma at bay but the AFFS medical forces on planet were able to quickly develop strategies to mitigate the effects of UrbStryc-A, keeping casualties low.  Gamma and Delta pushed towards the planet's capital, Vandannis City, sending lance-sized elements down a massive raised highway towards their objective.  The Cuirassiers, seeing the moment as a now or never opportunity, met the Rangers on the highway near a small town named Bonganville.<ref name=FSWv242/>
