During [[Battle of Terra (3058)|Operation ODYSSEUS]] the 5th Division was assigned to take [[Terra|Mars]]. They were successful, but due in part to inexperience with the planet's low gravity took serious losses in the process. The Level III assigned to take the [[War Academy of Mars]], for example, was reduced to six 'Mechs.<ref name=comstarp55/> After the takeover of [[Terra]], the 5th Division was assigned to the [[Castle Brian]] in Glen Valley, Australia, where they replenished their losses and put down uprisings throughout Australasia.  In 3062 they deployed True Vision Level III to the White Cliffs, New Zealand Castle Brian for anti-terrorism duties.<ref name=comstarp55>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 55</ref>
