History
In 2763 the Second was sent to the Detroit system to investigate rumors of a build up of weapon stockpiles. The Second was completely unprepared to face a full division of Taurian rebels. The Eighty-fifth Light Horse was wiped out in a nuclear strike, while 147th Dragoons and the 1111th Royal Light Horse destroyed when they were surrounded by vastly superior numbers. The Twenty-fifth managed to fight its way out through the enemy's flanks to escape and call in reinforcements.[1]
In 2771 General DeChavilier ordered the 2nd RCT along with all other surviving Regimental Combat Teams to start reconnaissance probes and raids into Amaris held world in the Hegemony as part of Operation Intruder. These raids continued for a year and saw a very heavy casualty rate. General Kerensky wished to rest the troops of Operation Intruder, but the will to fight was so strong that he assigned them as pathfinder units for the main invasion.[2]
