Operation Bulldog
They battled the Smoke Jaguars during the Operation first on Almunge, supported by the 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group. On Coudoux they fought alongside the Second Sword of Light, Com Guards 34th Division, and the 1st Amphigean LAG against the Jaguars' Eighth Garrison Cluster. After that, they and the 1st Amphigean LAG attacked Staplefield, supported by the 1st Free Worlds Guards.[2]

The 3rd FedCom RCT was defeated after the combined might of the Borderers and the 12th Vegan Rangers Alpha Regiment battled them to the ground.[3] Their losses were heavy but with the battlefield salvage the command could rebuild to former strength.[4]
Jihad
New Aragon was assaulted by Word of Blake forces in 3069.[5] The fate of the Borderers wasn't released.
