History
A prestigious and efficient unit, with a history of uneven leadership, command of the Third Donegal Guards is a much coveted post.[1] Ever since their participation in the celebrations marking the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth's 100th anniversary, the Third has used the Scales of Justice as their unit emblem and been known as "The Justice Brigade".[2]
The unit won a victory on Shirotori during the Fourth Succession War.[1]
Under the mediocre leadership of Thanom Hammerskjold, the third was defeated by House Imarra on Styk in 3057. The unit was transferred to Pandora after its recall from Styk.[1]
The unit participated in Operation Bulldog, attacking the Jaguars on Tarazed.[1] Under the command of Kai Allard-Liao, and in concert with the 2nd Genyosha and 1st St. Ives Lancers, they destroyed the 7th Jaguar Dragoons. During this operation they sustained serious losses, and were unable to continue their participation in Operation Bulldog.
FedCom Civil War
The Third defeated Argyle's Lancers on Crimond, and later moved to Cumbres to defend Tharkad against moves from Arc-Royal. [1]
As of 1st August 3067, the third was on Cumbres and at 85% strength.[3]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Walter Lestrade[4]
During the Fourth Succession War, the commanding officer was James Hipper.[2]
Leutnant-General Wendell Power replaced Thanom Hammerskjold as commanding officer in 3058 and commanded the Brigade to the year 3067. [2][3]

The sheer size of the RCT give the CO a wide range of opportunities. The command use often the direct engagements. The commander trust his subordinates and give them freedom to decide the best course of action for their unit.[2]
