Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The 1st Jaguar Guards was a front line Cluster of the Clan Smoke Jaguar.

History

Operation Revival

The First Guards fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave One

  • Almunge - The Almunge Cadet Infantry Battalion faced off against Alpha Battle Star of Trinary Battle fighting hard for every inch of ground. The survivors were made bondsmen. [1]

Wave Three

  • Albiero - The Guards landed at Dartson ridge and were immediately attack by the 8th Albiero Militia trapping them with artillery strikes until Trinary Strike broke out and eliminated the artillery unit. When the Militias command unit was ambushed and destroyed the regiment broke and fled into the hills, some forming guerilla units. [2]

Wave Five

  • Luthien - The Guards landed on the Tairakana Plains, almost immediately their defences were probed by DCMS scout forces. Within two hours and suffering under air attacks they were advancing towards three Kurita regiments drawn up on the shores of Basin Lake. As the Guards pushed the attack they found themselves trapped in a vibrobomb minefield amidst exploding Q-Mechs. In the chaos the real Kurita Units attacked forcing the clan unit to fall back. It regrouped and smashed through the defenders line pushing for the Capital city, but were eventually worn down and forced to withdraw. [3] [4]
  • Tarazed - Trinary Assault and Trinary Battle launched a ferocious assault against the defending 7th and 13th Tarazed Armour Regiments swiftly defeating them. [5]

Tukayyid

The Guards landed in the Racice Delta and quickly became bogged down. The swamps of the Delta proved excellent defensive grounds hiding ComStar 'Mechs and booby-traps. After three days fighting saKhan Weaver was killed and Beta Galaxy ordered to retreat by ilKhan Ulric Kerensky. [6]

Post Tukayyid

The Guards were stationed on Avon within easy striking distance of the Draconis Combine boarder. [7]

Operation Bulldog

Wave Two

  • Avon - The Second Star League attacked Clan Nova Cat before turning its attention against the unprepared Guards. Seeing collusion between the Cats and the Inner Sphere forces they fought a defensive withdrawal and retreated to Outer Volta. [8]

Wave Three

Officers

Tactics

During Operation Revival the Guards appear to have favoured frontal assault tactics employing heavy and assault 'Mechs.
