Clan Invasion
The DCMS High Command positioned the 5th SZAC on Altona, expecting to face Clan Smoke Jaguar forces. Unfortunately the Jaguars bypassed the world, and the 5th saw no combat against the Jaguars.[2]
However, between 3053 and 3055 Clan Nova Cat forces based on Bjarred and Tarnby struck Altona. Each time the Fifth was unable to prevent the Nova Cat forces from destroying or seizing supplies and parts. During this time replacement troops and supplies were slow to come. In 3056 the raids suddenly stopped and parts and recruits arrived to bring the Fifth back up to full strength.[2]
Operation Bulldog
The Fifth reclaimed Itabiana from the Nova Cats, and later went to support the 8th Sword of Light as they took Byesville from the Smoke Jaguars.[3]
Dominion War
Rotated to Nykvarm in 3062, the Fifth arrived just in time to face the heavy 6th Bear Regulars. The first battle with Ghost Bear forces destroyed one battalion completely, and losses continued to mount. The Fifth had to withdraw to Brocchi's Cluster to rebuild.[3]
Federated Suns Incursion

Jihad
The Fifth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre garrisoned Kessel during the Jihad. Early on, the Word of Blake struck the world, smashing several cities with tactical nuclear weapons and deploying a neutron bomb to cover their retreat. The Fifth spent the next five years helping rebuild the world. During that time they drove off several attacks made by mercenaries employed by the Blakists. Then in late 3076 the Word struck again. By using an orbital strike, the Blakists destroyed the Cadre's command staff and main fortification. By combining with the 40th Dieron Regulars, the Fifth SZMAC was able to survive, but at a greatly reduced level.[4]
Officers
In 3025, the CO of the 5th was Colonel Ishtar von Nielsburg. [1] In 3059 the commanding officer was Sho-sho von Nielsburg.[2]
