History

Operation Guerrero
They continued to fight so-called freedom fighter, because the joint invasion of Liao/Marik goes on.[1]
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.[3]
FedCom Civil War
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.[4] Their losses were heavy but with the battlefield salvage the command could rebuild to former strength.[5]
Jihad
New Aragon was assaulted by Word of Blake forces in 3069.[6] The fate of the Borderers wasn't released.
Officers
As of 3062 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Jimmie Kirston, who was responsible for all military matters on this world but the CO of the 3rd FC didn't recognize this case.[1]
In 3067, Jimmie Kirston was promoted to Major General but remained in command of the Borderers.[7]
Tactics
The Borderes are most effective as a counter-insurgency force and short-range strike force. They also prefer a defensive position if possible.[1]
