===[[Operation Revival]]===
The '''Twentieth Polar Bear Attack Cluster''' was the only unit with this designation at the start of Operation Revival. It spent the first three waves of the invasion as a garrison force, and was partly blamed for the loss of several garrison units during Wave Two to [[Inner Sphere]] guerrilla forces. After the Ghost Bears activated Provisional Garrison Clusters, the Twentieth was reassigned as part of Delta Galaxy's strategic reserve. The fighting on [[Thessalonika]] was their first combat operation. They faced off against the conventional vehicles of the [[Eighth Alshain Regulars]] on the world, and performed admirably.<ref name="er52-53">''Era Report: 3052'', p. 53</ref>

The Twentieth Attack was trapped by the [[12th Division (ComStar)|Twelfth]] and [[91st Division (ComStar)|Ninety-first]] [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[Level IV|Division]]s on the outskirts of the Holth Forest, inflicting heavy damage on the unit. The Twentieth was equipped with mostly light and medium units, while the Ninety-first was filled with heavy and assault class 'Mechs. A mere Trinary of troops were able to escape, and the advance on Luk had to be abandoned. The unit's poor performance led to the Ghost Bear [[Khan]]s striking the Polar Bear Attack Clusters from the rolls and sending the survivors to staff ''[[solahma]]'' units.<ref name="er52-53"/>

The Twentieth Polar Bear Attack Cluster was equipped with mostly light and medium 'Mechs. Though adequate against vehicles, the heavy and assault units of ComStar's Ninety-first Division made short work of them.<ref name="er52-53"/>

The Twentieth is not mentioned as taking part in any part of Operation Revival until Tukayyid. It does not appear in ''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', so presumably it was not rebuilt after the invasion.

''Era Report: 3052'' states that the Twentieth's failure led to all Polar Bear Attack units being disbanded. Survivors of the unit were sent to ''solahma'' units to hunt bandits.<ref name="er52-53"/>
