 ==History==
-===Succession Wars===
-====First Succession War====
-The '''Second Amphigean Light Assault Group''' mustered as a part of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] during the [[First Succession War]], at some point after [[2786]].<ref name="FSWp136"/>
-==== Second Succession War ====
+The '''2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group''' participated in the [[Galtor III|Galtor]] campaign during [[3025]]. They, along with the [[8th Galedon Regulars]], were the last DCMS forces on the world.<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 5</ref>
-The Second Amphigean Light Assault Group acquitted itself admirably during the hellish conflict of the [[Second Succession War]], conducting successful search and destroy missions with its fellow [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group|First Amphigean LAG]] on [[Strawn]], [[Kessel]] and [[Kobe]]. The Second's destruction of a [[Lyran Commonwealth]] [[regiment]] of heavy and assault [[BattleMech]]s in a series of hit-and-run raids over a course of several weeks in-fact spawned the "Light Assault Group" appellation for the entire Amphigean brigade.<ref name=FMDC-94/>
-==== Third Succession War ====
+They were effectively destroyed during the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 95, 96</ref>
-As of [[3025]], the Second Amphigean was initially stationed alongside the [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group|First Amphigean]] on [[Reisling's Planet]], before both units participated in the [[Galtor III|Galtor]] Campaign, replacing the [[3rd Benjamin Regulars|Third Benjamin Regulars]] who were redeployed to defend [[Tripoli]].<ref name=TGCp24>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 24: "History - Phase Two"</ref> The Second advanced with First Amphigean towards the real [[Star League]] depot on Galtor but fell behind as it tried to maintain formation in the rolling hills, the isolated First taking heavy damage before the Second Amphigean could extract them, the Combine units unable to reach the depot to save the now trapped Kismet [[Battalion]] of the [[7th Sword of Light|Seventh Sword of Light]].<ref name=TGCp29>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 29: "History - The Amphigean Advance - Davion Counterattacks"</ref>
-After the First Amphigean left Galtor, the Second joined with the [[8th Galedon Regulars|Eighth Galedon Regulars]] in the strike against the [[Davion]]-held city of New Derry. Emerging from a sewer tunnel in the middle of the city, the Second's Pollux Battalion took heavy losses including its commander ''[[Chu-sa]]'' Saxton, but with air-support were able to kill the defending Davion commander Sir William Dobson.<ref name=HTPGp14>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 14: "Tracks - Dahar No More"</ref><ref name=TGCp33>''The Galtor Campaign'', pp. 33–34: "History - Fall of New Derry"</ref> After the abrupt withdraw of Warlord Yorioshi's [[6th Benjamin Regulars|Sixth]] and [[17th Benjamin Regulars|Seventeenth Benjamin Regulars]] from Galtor, the arrival of [[4th Crucis Lancers|Fourth Crucis Lancers]] allowed the Davion forces to run roughshod over the remaining Combine units, the Second Amphigean being ordered by Warlord [[Grieg Samsonov]] to retreat off-world.<ref name=HTPGp15>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 14: "Tracks - Stand of Defiance"</ref><ref name=TGCp34>''The Galtor Campaign'', pp. 34–35: "History - Traitor - Disaster"</ref>
+===Dark Age===
+The Second Amphigean Light Assault Group joined the [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group]] in battling the [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cat's]] [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Gamma Galaxy]] on [[Avon]] during the Nova Cat Rebellion. Though the two Light Assault Groups were eventually able to destroy the Nova Cats, they sustained heavy losses during the fighting.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 36</ref>
-==== Fourth Succession War ====
+In [[3144]] they also landed on [[Lucerne]] where their AeroSpace wing was critical in forcing the [[Federated Suns]] to withdraw.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 50</ref>
-During the early months of the [[Fourth Succession War]] [[Coordinator]] [[Takashi Kurita]] was focused on his conflict with the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] mercenary [[brigade]], but following pleas for help from [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]] the DCMS planned and launched additional offensives against perceived weak spots on the Federated Suns border. The Galtor Thumb region was one such weak spot, and Marduk was invaded by the Second Amphigean Light Assault Group. The [[Marduk Militia|planetary militia on Marduk]] consisted of aging [['Mech]]s piloted by old [[MechWarrior (pilot)|pilots]] and a few regiments of conventional forces, which were swiftly defeated by the LAG. Despite the militia being easily beaten, an extensive guerrilla resistance campaign began on Marduk that would continue to dog the DCMS forces on the planet, even though the Combine officially considered the planet to have been annexed in early January [[3029]].<ref name="4SWv1p80">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 80: "Other Actions"</ref>
-Following the lull in major offensives in early [[3029]], a number of new offensives began as the [[Fourth Succession War]] entered its second year. In early July 3029 [[Coordinator]] [[Takashi Kurita]] moved to [[Irurzun]] from [[Luthien]] and took more of an interest in combat actions on the border between the Draconis Combine and Federated Suns than he had earlier in the war, where his attention had been almost completely focused on [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. Ten days after arriving on Irurzun Takashi had drafted and launched a new offensive aimed at securing more worlds from the Federated Suns, and [[Royal]] was one of those worlds. Assigned to the conquest of Royal, the Second had little difficulty defeating the defending forces as the DCMS inexorably annexed the Galtor Thumb region.<ref name="4SWv2p30">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 30: "A New Approach"</ref>
+==Officers==
+As of 3025, the commanding officer of the unit was ''[[Brigadier General]]'' Karl Gramenov.<ref>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 137</ref>
-====War of 3039====
-As of [[3038]], the Second Amphigean was again stationed alongside the First Amphigean on Reisling's Planet. When the [[War of 3039]] erupted, ''[[Kanrei]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]] held both regiments back until the Combine's massed counterattack during the combined-[[Federated Commonwealth]]'s second invasion wave, ordering them to retake [[New Mendham]]. Landing on 12 July [[3039]], the combined Amphigean force initially threw the defending [[Davion Light Guards]] and [[1st Chisholm's Raiders|First Chisholm's Raiders]] off-balance, but the battle eventually devolved into a costly stalemate before the Davion troops were ordered to withdraw in mid-October.<ref name=Wo3039p94>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 94–96: "Wave Two and Counterattack - New Mendham (July October)"</ref> Having suffered extremely heavy losses, after the conclusion of the conflict, the Second Amphigean joined the First in returning to Reisling's Planet to rebuild.<ref name=Wo3039p139>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 139: "Deployment Table - Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery - Amphigean LAG"</ref>
-====Postbellum====
-In [[3047]] a recon lance of the [[2nd Chisholm's Raiders]] were [[Battle of Galtor (3047)|scouting]] the [[Galtor Naval Yards]] when they were discovered by a lance of the [[Second Amphigean Light Assault Group]].  A brutal melee led by ''[[Chu-i]]'' [[Ryoko Kiyomizu]] ensued which cost the life of one Raider MechWarrior and destroyed all four of their ’Mechs.  Two of the Raiders and the remains of a third were eventually repatriated.  For her conduct in this action, Kiyomizu was promoted to ''[[Tai-i]]'' and given command of Second Company, First Battalion.<ref>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 94</ref>
-===Clan Invasion===
-Stationed on Galtor immediately prior to the [[Clan Invasion]],<ref name=20yup42/> by the [[Clans]] fifth invasion wave, the Second Amphigean had been transferred to defend [[Avon]].
-In November [[3051]], [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and [[Clan Nova Cat]] attacked [[Avon]] with the [[5th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Fifth Jaguar Regulars]], [[4th Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Fourth Jaguar Dragoons]], [[214th Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|214th Jaguar Dragoons]], [[274th Battle (Clan Nova Cat)|274th Battle Cluster]] and [[449th Assault (Clan Nova Cat)|449th Assault Cluster]]. The Second knew it stood little chance of winning an open stand-up engagement and opted to wage a short but fierce guerrilla campaign aimed at destroying as much of the Clans' supplies as possible.  Entire companies of 'Mechs attacked Clan supply depots under the cover of darkness, though in truth their attacks were merely diversions to allow commando units to infiltrate and plant explosives among the supplies. As a result of such "perfidious" tactics, the Smoke Jaguar commander ordered a "[[Elemental (Battle Armor)#Variants|headhunter]]" [[Star]] to locate and destroy the Second's command post.  The unit succeeded during a ruthlessly brutal strike that killed the entire command staff. Bereft of leadership the Second's efforts began to falter, until finally the Second Amphigean was destroyed just days later at the combined hands of the Smoke Jaguars and Nova Cats.<ref name=ICp59>''Invading Clans'', pp. 59–60: "Clan Smoke Jaguar - Fifth Wave: All-out War"</ref><ref name=ICp119>''Invading Clans'', p. 119: "Clan Nova Cat - Fifth Wave - Avon (DC)"</ref>
-Though destroyed, the performance of the Second and [[5th Amphigean Light Assault Group|Fifth Amphigean LAG]] against the invaders led the Combine High Command to authorize the creation of the [[7th Amphigean Light Assault Group|Seventh Amphigean Light Assault Group]]<ref name=FMDC-94>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', pp. 94–96: "Alternate Paths - Amphigean Light Assault Groups: Pack Mentality"</ref>
+As of 3050, the commanding officer of the unit was ''[[Tai-sa]]'' Pho Lashjui<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 42, Deployment Table continued.</ref>
-===Dark Age===
+As of 3145, the commanding officer of the unit was ''[[Tai-sa]]'' Mitchell "Eagle Eye" Stonethrower<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 62, Draconis Combine - Alternate Paths.</ref>
-Re-formed during the so-called [[Dark Ages]], the Second Amphigean Light Assault Group joined the [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group]] in battling the [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cat's]] [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Gamma Galaxy]] on [[Avon]] during the [[Draconis Combine Civil War|Nova Cat Rebellion]]. Though the two Light Assault Groups were eventually able to destroy the Nova Cats, they sustained heavy losses during the fighting.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 36</ref>
-In [[3144]], the Second Amphigean landed on [[Lucerne]] where their aerospace wing, the Bright Suns, played a critical role in forcing the [[Federated Suns]] to withdraw.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 50</ref><ref name="FM3145p62">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 62: "Second Amphigean Light Assault Group"</ref>
