Prior to the formation of the Lyran Alliance, the 36th was stationed on [[Tsingtao]]. Obeying the "come home" order, they left the Capellan March world and were assigned to [[Hesperus II]]. They established a good working relationship with the [[Fifteenth Lyran Guards|15th Lyran Guards]].

Choosing to remain loyal to the [[Lyran Alliance]] as a whole, the 36th initially refused to declare for either [[Katherine Steiner-Davion|Katrina]] or [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] during the [[FedCom Civil War]], instead seeing heavy action in opposing the [[Free Skye]] attempt to take [[Hesperus II]]. The unit played a decisive role in that battle, coming close to eliminating the legendary [[Maria Esteban]].<ref name=FMU170>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 170, "Lyran Guard - 36th Lyran Guard RCT"</ref>

Initially stationed to protect the Maldon mining complex on the opposite side of Hesperus II from the [[Defiance Industries]] complex, the 36th faced the [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 147</ref> They were eventually forced out of the Maldon mining complex, but a HALO drop by their 'Mech forces let them arrive in time to reinforce the 15th Lyran Guards and pushed the [[Free Skye Movement]] forces out of the Melrose Valley. They broke the 17th Skye Rangers and pinned the other Free Skye units in place. This allowed the [[Second Donegal Guards|2nd Donegal Guards]] to arrive and reinforce the [[LAAF]] units. This forced the Free Skye units to surrender.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 178</ref> This was particularly interesting as the 36th Guards had no aerospace support at the time.<ref>''The Dying Time'', p. 39</ref>

The unit was overwhelmed by the Knights of the Inner Sphere on [[Preston (FWL)|Preston]] during the FWLM counterattack, [[Operation BROKEN FIST]], after two of the Lyran Alliance provinces declared war on the Free Worlds League and invaded. The 36th Guards had no other choice but to surrender.
