===Reunification War===
By the time of the [[Reunification War]], the First Fusiliers and their sister regiments had become known as brigades, although they still operated at regiment strength; as a result, records of their deeds during the various campaigns of the war record the First Fusiliers as the First Fusiliers of Oriente Brigade. The First Fusiliers served in two different major campaigns during the war, acting first as a part of the [[First Marik Auxiliary Corps]] commanded by [[General]] [[Ian Marik]] as a part of the SLDF Task Force Canopus, before being redeployed as a core part of the [[Second Marik Auxiliary Corps]] commanded by General [[Duke]] [[Narinder Selaj]] as a part of the SLDF Task Force Mailed Fist; as a result, the First Fusiliers saw extensive service in the campaigns against both the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and the [[Rim Worlds Republic]].<ref name="H:RWp95">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 95: "SLDF Task Force Canopus"</ref><ref name="H:RWp129">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 129: "SLDF Task Force Mailed Fist"</ref><ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp152">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 152: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-Off - 2587)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-Off - 2596)"</ref> As a result of being a part of two campaigns the First Fusiliers fought on no less than eleven worlds during the Reunification War, more than any other [[Free Worlds League Military]] unit.<ref name="H:RWp38"/>

The First Fusiliers had been moved to the world of [[Mauripur]] close to the border between the [[Free Worlds League]] and the Magistracy during the buildup to the invasion into Canopian space. Although they didn't take part in the first wave of attacks in [[2577]], [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]], the commander of both the [[Star League Defense Force]] Task Force and [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]], selected the First Fusiliers to be a part of the detachment tasked with conquering the world of [[Ruschegg]] in [[2578]], a relatively easy campaign.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp100">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 100: "Ruschegg, Payvand and Scheuerheck (August-October 2577)"</ref>

Ruschegg was one of three former Free Worlds League worlds which had defected to the Magistracy in the 2550s, all three of which were conquered through a display of overwhelming force and agile diplomacy by Captain-General Marik. The defenders of Ruschegg effectively offered no resistance to the SLDF landings, although it would have been difficult for any local militia to contest an invasion which saw the SLDF [[Fifty-eighth Brigade]] deploy alongside the [[Sixty-second Royal Brigade]], the [[First Marik Militia|First]] and [[Third Marik Militia]] and the First and [[Second Fusiliers of Oriente Brigades]]. Within a very short period of time the planetary leader of Ruschegg had not only surrendered but was actively petitioning for Ruschegg to be admitted into the Free Worlds League. The relatively peaceful capture and annexation of Ruschegg, [[Payvand]] and [[Scheuerheck]] was an important publicity victory for the Free Worlds League, one that the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]]'s allies in the Parliament used extensively against opponents of the [[Star League]].<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp100"/>

The battle for the Magistracy world of [[Eleusis]] was expected to be more difficult than the majority of the previous planetary campaigns wagered by the SLDF task force due to the eight assorted regiments of defending forces expected to be on the planet, but the MAF upped the stakes considerably; the VII Corps' [[Fifty-seventh Brigade]] and the [[Sixty-first Royal Brigade]] were assigned to conquer the world, with the [[401st Independent Regiment]], the [[Thirty-fifth Royal CAAN Marine Regiment]], the Fifth Marik Militia and the First Fusiliers of Orient providing support. Unknown to VII Corps the MAF had played an elaborate shell game, moving regiments around and between planets, and had increased the defending force from eight regiments to twenty-two, including four [[BattleMech]] regiments - three of which were from the elite [[Chasseurs á Cheval]], the premier Magistracy 'Mech unit.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp100+">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 100–101: "Eleusis, Obrenovac and Bethnolog (March 2579-January 2580)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (Jump-Off-2582)"</ref>

The MAF had sabotaged the computer records at the system cargo waystations and recharge station, giving the SLDF no information on traffic on the system and no intelligence on the forces gathered on the planet; the MAF Navy had also stationed an [[aerospace fighter]] carrier in the system at a covert location, and the MAF aerospace squadrons waited until the SLDF DropShips were halfway through their burn to the planet before striking at the SLDF transport ships, savaging more than twenty vessels before being driven off. A large portion of the landing troops were effectively trapped in-system, and arrived on the planet only to find that a predicted two-week campaign for control of the planet would instead take four months as [[Colonel]] [[Ann-Britt McMillan]] led the defending forces on an extended cat and mouse game that let them inflict more damage on the SLDF strike force than they received in return, only finally giving up control of the world when ordered to retreat by the [[Magestrix]].<ref name="H:RWp100+"/>

The campaign for Eleusis was the second and final major campaign the First Fusiliers took part in as a part of the First Marik Auxiliary Corps; the successes the MAF had enjoyed at Eleusis and elsewhere slowed the invasion down considerably, with relatively few major actions taking place in [[2580]] as the SLDF changed tactics and rearmed, and in [[2581]] the First Fusiliers were redeployed alongside the Second Fusiliers to form a part of the [[Second Marik Auxiliary Corps]] as the campaign against the rebellion within the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] began.<ref name="H:RWp148"/>

The First Fusiliers sent the bulk of Operation MAILED FIST operating alongside the two Marik Militia regiments; together, the three units would conduct campaigns in the [[Star's End]] system in [[2581]], on [[Stirling]] in [[2583]], [[Viborg]] in [[2588]], [[Marisura]] in [[2589]], [[Barcelona]] in [[2591]], [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Götterdämmerung]] in [[2592]], [[Bensinger]] in [[2594]] and [[Crellacor]] in [[2595]].

The Star's End campaign was one of the first systems to be designated as a target for the Star League forces; still considered a newly colonized system in the late twenty-sixth century, the population of the Star's End system numbered less than five thousand but was considered a strategically significant system. As a result, it merited a strong garrison, and during the early years of the civil war within the Rim Worlds Republic that garrison was a battalion from the [[Fifth Amaris Fusiliers]]. The Fifth were considered to be loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] but with no idea of how these loyalist forces would react, Task Force MAILED FIST was forced to treat the Fifth Amaris Fusiliers with suspicion.<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Persistence, Treeline, Star's End and Black Earth (May-December 2581)"</ref>

The First Fusiliers and the other [[FWLM]] units entered the Star's End system in May 2581. Unsure of what resistance to expect, if any, the [[Free Worlds League]] forces were surprised to find no visible military presence when they entered the system. The colonies had all been established on various asteroids along with the military garrison, all of which had gone dark to evade detection; with no charts of the system to draw on, the [[SLDF]] forces were forced to survey the system for themselves, a long, laborious fourteen-month task. Despite the difficulties in surveying the system, the Star's End system was declared to be secure in June or July, and the SLDF began to establish a fleet base in the system that ironically became the single biggest customer for the local mining colonies. The SLDF also established a supply depot on Novo Cressidas, the one habitable world in the system.<ref name="H:RWp132"/>

After failing to drive them out quickly, the First Fusiliers and the other units performed a building by building clearance operation that drove the Third Defenders out of the city after three weeks.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 82</ref> Shortly after this the First Fusiliers slipped past the lines of the Fifth Defenders of Andurien and struck them from behind. This unexpected attack caused the Fifth Defenders to splinter into lance-sized units that were easily destroyed by the First Fusiliers and other Federal forces.

====Operation Guerrero====
Following their service in the Andurien Secession, the First returned to [[Griffith]] and conducted occasional raids against Lyran and [[Circinus Federation|Circinus]] worlds. Its most significant raid was mounted against Penobscot in [[3055]]. One battalion was secretly deployed to the world ahead of the main force, disrupting the [[AFFC]] defenders and preventing them from countering the raiders.<ref>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 75</ref>

In late [[3075]], the First Fusiliers of Oriente and several unspecified units from the [[Lyran Alliance]] attacked [[Word of Blake]] and [[Circinus Federation]] forces that were holding [[Poulsbo]] and [[Khon Kaen]]. This proto-Coalition force was able to completely destroy the defenders of Khon Kaen. On Poulsbo only 10% of the Blakist and Circinian forces were able to escape the planet's surface.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 38–39: "Lyran, League Troops Repel Circinus Invaders"</ref>

Between [[3079]] and [[3085]] they were frequently countering raids from the [[Principality of Regulus]]. After splitting into company and battalion sized forces, the First Fusiliers raided every world along the Regulan border. Instead of engaging in a slugfest, the Fusiliers instead attacked Regulan infrastructure. These raids were impressive, but the most noteworthy were a raid on [[Harmony]] where the Jesters destroyed a corporate security force and seized fusion engines and another raid on [[Cameron (FWL)|Cameron]] where the Jesters drew the defending [[Tenth Regulan Hussars]] out of position and destroyed their main ammunition dump. The most impressive raid, however, has to be the Jester's assault on [[Regulus]]. A group of Jester MechWarriors slipped onto a cargo [[DropShip]] delivering ''[[Patron]]'' LoaderMechs and stole them, running wild in Regulus City's primary spaceport and inflicting millions of dollars of damage. In fact this raid delayed outgoing shipments for several weeks, weakening the Regulan economy.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 83</ref>
