Fourth Succession War
The Second Genyosha hadn't been formed in time to participate in the Fourth Succession War.
Ronin Wars
In June 3034 the Second Genyosha arrived on Engadin under radio silence on DropShips provided by a "concerned businessman." The first inkling the 9th Rasalhague Regulars had that they were under attack was the arrival of several artillery strikes that leveled their barracks building. A series of coordinated air strikes destroyed the 9th Regular's command center, leaving the individual units of the Regulars unable to coordinate their defense. The Second Genyosha-still operating under radio silence-found and destroyed every ronin 'Mech. A week after they landed, the Second Genyosha had liberated a ComStar facility and destroyed the 9th Rasalhague Regulars. As soon as the Free Rasalhague Republic's 2nd Freemen arrived to garrison Engadin, the Second Genyosha left the world.[1]
War of 3039
During the War of 3039, the Second Genyosha fought alongside their brethren in the First Genyosha to liberate Nashira. The Second was responsible for analyzing the communications traffic between the Federated Suns forces on the world and identifying the location of their command staffs.[2] The Second used this intelligence to stage an "Avalanche Drop" on the positions of the 1st FedCom RCT, driving the FedCom unit out of their positions at the capital spaceport.[3] After holding the spaceport for two weeks before retreating due to the arrival of FedCom reinforcements. The Genyosha continued to control the tempo of the conflict, with the Genyosha seizing one refinery after another. When the FedCom troops re-captured the refinery and moved on to the next one, the Genyosha (backed up by local freedom fighters) would re-capture the refinery the FedCom had just taken.[3] These efforts kept the Federated Commonwealth troops running back and forth on the planet's surface, exhausting them.
One of the militia backed attacks found the militia using chemical weapons against the First FedCom RCT's troops. The Second Genyosha immediately assaulted the militia positions, capturing or killing every militiaman who was involved; Simultaneously the medical units attached to the Second Genyosha began caring for the FedCom troops who had been affected by the chemical attacks.[4]
Clan Invasion
The unit was stationed on world of Moore in the Dieron Military District as of 3050. [5]
Only one battalion remained of the regiment following the Clan Invasion. The unit was removed from active duty to rebuild and retrain to elite status. The unit followed a unique strategy for rebuilding: They took troops from other veteran and elite units to form one battalion, and the third battalion was drawn from academy students who replaced their last year of studies with active duty training with the 2nd. The 2nd returned to active duty in 3057.[6]
Operation Bulldog
Under the command of Kai Allard-Liao for the first wave of Operation Bulldog, the Second Genyosha attacked Tarazed alongside the 1st St. Ives Lancers and the 3rd Donegal Guards RCT. [7] The SLDF forces received safcon from the defending 7th Jaguar Dragoons, and promptly destroyed the Dragoons in the Krycheck Mountain range.[8] They then functioned as the garrison for Tarazed for the rest of Operation Bulldog. [9]
Dominion War
To stall the Ghost Bear advance the Second Genyosha struck Ardoz. This forced the Bears to pull several front line Clusters from the front lines to track down the Genyosha.[7]
Federated Suns Incursion
Shortly after the Ghost Bear war ended, the Second Genyosha arrived on the Federated Suns border. There they joined forces with the 16th Galedon Regulars to recapture Marduk from the Suns. After that was complete the Genyosha captured Breed.[7]
Jihad
In 3067 the Second Genyosha were stationed on Benjamin.[10] They redeployed to Irurzun in 3068, just in time for the Black Dragon Society to launch a coup. The Second was briefly put out of action by a strike from Black Dragon-sponsored militia units, but after a six month long guerrilla campaign the Second returned the world to the Dragon's embrace.[11] In 3075 they joined Operation SCOUR as part of the DCMS contribution to that multi-national force.[12] One of their first actions was to liberate Asta, a planet with many Word of Blake prison camps. Among the many prisoners of war, the Second found Andrew Redburn, captured in the Blakist assault on Tukayyid.[13] Later, the Second Genyosha broke the bloody stalemate on Fomalhaut, liberating the world from the Blakists.[14] During the assault on Terra the Second Genyosha was assigned to liberate Tokyo. They fought alongside the 1st Crucis Lancers and 23rd Arcturan Guards.[15]
The Second remained in the Tokyo area for most of their stay on Terra. Persistent rumors suggest that they "liberated" several historical artifacts with special meaning to the Kurita family.[11]
Officers
From 3050 to 3067, the commanding officer was Tai-sa Laura Nelson[16][6][10].
As of 3085 the commanding officer is Tai-sa Camillus Crespo.[17]
Tactics
The 2nd Genyosha excels at defensive tactics, leading with its slow heavy and assault machines and committing the rest of its forces as reinforcements. Artillery is saved to cover retreats.[6]
