The 39th saw active combat twice in 2583 after being mustered on Ki Zoban along with the majority of V Corps; the 39th was one half of a two-brigade raiding party that that attacked [[Morthac]] and then [[Banori]] in 2583 on seek and destroy raids as a part of [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]'s plan to defeat the will and ability of the Alliance to resist by attacking civilian populations and industries.<ref name="H:RWp124">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 124, "Baby Killers Unleashed"</ref>
