However, the Hussars and Regulars who were assigned to the duty were shamed by it, and used the skill and valor of a battalion of Dragoon cadets as an excuse to let the families escape to [[Cassias]].<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 37</ref> On September 17 [[3028]] the [[Twelfth Galedon Regulars]] Regiment landed on [[Wapakoneta]] alongside the Third Proserpina Hussars. After a nine month war against two deeply entrenched regiments of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] the Combine troops finally gained control of the planet.<ref name=4SWv1-72>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 72</ref> The Third Hussars faced the Fourth Provisional Company of Wolf's Dragoons.<ref>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', pp. 32–33</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 [[Lima]] was one of those worlds. Attacked by the Third Proserpina Hussars, the planetary militia on McComb were swiftly defeated 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> ===Ronin War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===War of 3039=== The Third Proserpina Hussars faced the [[First Crucis Lancers]] on [[Capra]], and were soundly defeated. The action against the Federated unit cost the Hussars three [[JumpShip]]s.<ref name="er52-29"/> ===Clan Invasion=== During the [[Clan Invasion]], the Third faced the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Smoke Jaguars]] on [[Kiamba]]. After Hussar aerospace assets destroyed a DropShip, the Hussars had hopes of winning. This confidence only increased when the Jaguars fell into a trap in Hecate's Swamp set by the Third Hussars.<ref name="er52-29">''Era Report: 3052'', p. 29</ref> Unfortunately the Jaguars responded to these attacks with unmatched ferocity;<ref name=FMDC109/> the commanding officer of the [[Jaguar's Spirit Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Jaguar's Spirit Keshik]], [[Loremaster]] [[Edmund Hoyt]], deployed a headhunter unit that tracked ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Richard Weston]] down, and killed him and the majority of his command unit. This demoralized the Hussars, who fell back to make a desperate last stand at Collins Ridge;<ref name=ICp69>''Invading Clans'', p. 69</ref> the Third lost two battalions in the fight. The unit was rebuilt, using the remaining troops and equipment from the destroyed [[4th Proserpina Hussars|Fourth Proserpina Hussars]], as well as new recruits from the University of Proserpina and Dieron District Gymnasium.<ref name=FMDC109>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 109: "3rd Proserpina Hussars Unit Profile"</ref> ===Operation Bulldog=== The Third Proserpina Hussars landed on [[Asgard]] as part of Operation BULLDOG.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 10</ref> ===Dominion War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Federated Suns Incursion=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Jihad=== During the [[Jihad]] the Third Proserpina Hussars were transferred to [[Kiamba]] to dissuade [[Ghost Bear]] adventurism. Once it became clear the Ghost Bears wouldn't attack the Combine, the Third redeployed to [[Niles (DC)|Niles]] to protect the DropShip yards in that system. This meant that by the end of the Jihad the Third was actually closer to full-strength than many Combine regiments. In the aftermath of the Jihad the Third began petitioning the High Command for permission to attack the Dragon's foes.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 3rd Proserpina Hussars''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Richard Ahrmram]]||Prior to [[3025]]<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 30</ref> |- | ''[[Sho-sho]]''||[[Bruce Bernstein|Bruce Lee Bernstein]]||3025 - [[3028]]<ref name=HKp133>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 133: "Unit Deployment Table - 3025"</ref><ref name=4SWv1-72/> |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Richard Weston]]||[[3050]] - [[3052]]<ref name=20YU41>''20 Year Update'', p. 41: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref name=ICp69>''Invading Clans'', p. 69</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Gregg Weston]]||[[3054]]<ref name=ORp27>''Objective Raids'', p. 27: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3054"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Angus McTeague]]||[[3059]]<ref name=FMDC109/> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Elliot Taharaga]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMUp116>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 116: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> |- |} ===Other Officers=== * ''[[Chu-sa]]'' [[Kent Shou]], commander of the unit's second Battalion.<ref name=FMDC109/> ==Tactics== === Star League Era === As a regiment within the Proserpina Hussars, the Third was trained to fight in a fast, hard-hitting style, based on a well-rounded approach to combined-arms warfare, which was further reinforced by the large number of officers within the regiment trained at either the [[Sun Tzu School of Combat]] or the [[University of Proserpina]].
