=== The Oriente and Andurien War ===
Triggered by the [[Kwamashu Incident]] on February [[3138]], the year-long [[Fifth Andurien War|Oriente and Andurien War]] kept the regiment busy.  The Fifth's only notable action during the conflict was on [[Antipolo]]. On the planet, the unit took heavy damage trying to hold the world but ultimately would be forced to withdraw losing the world to the [[Oriente Protectorate]].  The unit lost several key officers and personnel during the war, reducing its ability to perform its duties by 3145.<ref name="FM:3145p114"/>
