History
Formation
The Fifth can trace their history back to the days before the formation of the Draconis Combine, starting its life as a Heavy Armor Battalion. The 5th still holds conventional armor in high regard.
In June 2825 the Fifth and Ninth Galedon Regulars where mobilized to stop equipment starved mercenaries sacking DCMS warehouses on Zlatous due to the Procurement Divisions mistreatment. [1].
The Fifth's primary duty is garrisoning the original capital world of the Combine, New Samarkand.
Pirate Hunting
During the 2920's the Fifth were posted on the Periphery border to fend off the raids of the Belt Pirates, remaining there for almost a century.
Rise of the Warlord
In 3019 the regiments commanding officer Grieg Samsonov was promoted to warlord of the Galedon District for his leadership of the Fifth's campaigns against the belt pirates, this caused the Fifth to be relocated to New Samarkand and begin front-line operations again.
The Fifth participated in the Galtor campaign during 3025. They held the Bremond DMM at bay, allowing the 17th Benjamin Regulars to pound the Raman DMM. [2]
