Clan Invasion
During the Clan Invasion the 22nd Avalon Hussars defended the Lyran Commonwealth worlds along the Clan Jade Falcon invasion corridor. After the Truce of Tukayyid they continued to serve as a raiding force, stinging the Falcons and Clan Wolf forces in a series of raids. Though successful, they lost many men and machines during the six year tour on the Clan front.[2]

Civil War
The 22nd Avalon Hussars didn't care for Katherine Steiner-Davion's politics, but as soldiers they were honor-bound to uphold the chain of command.[4] The homeworld of the 22nd Avalon Hussars was Bromhead, a posting they shared with the 2nd Davion Guards. To prevent the two units from coming to blows, they both left the world. The 22nd Hussars landed on Talon, where they fought the 7th FedCom RCT.[5] After losing two battalions of Mechs and 2 battalions of infantry, the 7th FedCom stopped attacking the 22nd's fortified positions.[6] The 22nd was content to hold a defensive position for most of the time, only striking at the 7th long enough to allow shipments from Kallon Industries to escape the world. As soon as the ships were safely away, the 22nd immediately resumed a defensive stance.[7] After learning of the attack on New Syrtis however, the 22nd went on the attack. By surrounding the 7th FedCom with several mixed battalions, the 22nd inflicted serious damage on the 7th FedCom and nearly captured the entire unit but the 7th was able to escape.[8] The 22nd returned to their defensive positions, and shortly faced an unexpected combat drop by the 7th. The 7th, under orders to pin the 22nd on Talon, dropped directly on top of the 22nd's positions. This allowed the 7th to concentrate their fire on the dispersed Hussar units and inflict serious losses.[9] This conflict saw the destruction of the 7th FedCom, but cost the 22nd Avalon Hussars more than 80% of their combat forces and at least 75% of their DropShips.[10]
The 22nd also dispatched a brigade of troops to New Avalon to defend the Archon, but that unit was destroyed. In 3067, they were rebuilding on Crofton with materials produced on Talon.[11]
Jihad
In 3076 the severely understrength 22nd Avalon Hussars, along with the FSS New Syrtis, were redeployed to New Syrtis.[12] There they absorbed the remains of the 20th Avalon Hussars to rebuild themselves. Whether the 22nd Hussars were reorganized along the lines of the AFFS' new "battalion combat teams" is unclear at this time. No explicit reference to such a reorganization exists and the unit is referred to as existing as a whole on New Syrtis, but the 22nd isn't listed as an active unit in the Avalon Hussars listing.[13]
Officers
As of 3062 the commanding officer was Marshal Donna Iona, who had been in command since 3053. She was later promoted and Vice Admiral Solomon D'Angelo assumed command.[14]
Tactics
The 22nd Avalon Hussars lacked any tactical specialties. Instead the focused on being skilled in a variety of terrains and environments.[15]
