They had pushed them nearly out of the Earthwerks factory, but the [[2nd Syrtis Fusiliers]] Third Battalion hit the Fifth McCarron's in the flank and forced them to withdraw. The Fifth lost their conventional assets in the fighting, but reduced the First FedSuns Armored Cavalry by nearly half, and effectively destroyed the Second Fusiliers battalion.

Third Succession War[edit]
In 3007 the regiments of McCarron's Armored Cavalry raided New Valencia, baseworld of Wolf's Dragoons. Though they seized several small communities, the Dragoons were able to hold off the Armored Cavalry units long enough for the Eridani Light Horse regiments to arrive. The MAC regiments didn't inflict any damage to the Dragoons, but did raze several villages.[1]
Later in 3012 the Fifth Regiment would conduct a diversionary raid on New Berne.[2]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
In the Fourth Succession War all regiments of McCarron's Armored Cavalry except for the 1st were stationed on Menke. They later fought a long campaign to defend Sarna but had to retreat off world as Davion reinforcements arrived in the end phase of the war.[3]

Xin Sheng Campaign[edit]
The transition from mercenary to House unit was hardest for Kyp's Kommando. There was some resistance to the idea of giving up the mercenary heritage. This dissatisfaction led to a massive brawl between the members of the Little Richard's Panzer Brigade and the MAC. This barracks brawl eventually escalated to include several 'Mech units as the Panzer Brigade members vented their envy over the MAC being made a House unit.[5]
Jihad[edit]
As of early 3067, the 5th was stationed on Masterson.[6] As part of Operation Thunderbolt 5th Armored Cavalry drove the 5th Crucis Lancers off of Aldertaine. After suffering heavy losses, they relocated to St. Ives to rebuild.[7]
During the Jihad the Fifth broke into smaller formations and struck at targets of opportunity in the Capellan March and Blakist Protectorate. They reunited and garrisoned Sian when the Red Lancers and Warrior House Imarra were sent off-world. In 3077 they were sent to take the world of Halloran V. After that was finished, they returned to Sian.[8]
Republic Era[edit]
During the Confederation's invasion of the Republic of the Sphere the Fifth served as a backup force for the other McCarron's Armored Cavalry regiments. Though eventually forced to withdraw, they set up determined defenses of Woodstock, Liao, and Tsitsang. In their time on Sian, they turned out several times to perform perfect parade ground drill, a feat few suspected they could perform.[9]
To rebuild their unit's serious losses after the Republic conflict, the Fifth was reassigned to Menke.[10]
During the Victoria War the Fifth reinforced Victoria. They faced the 1st Federated Suns Armored Cavalry outside Trellis, and inflicted notable losses on the Federated Suns unit. They had pushed them nearly out of the Earthwerks factory, but the 2nd Syrtis Fusiliers Third Battalion hit the Fifth McCarron's in the flank and forced them to withdraw. The Fifth lost their conventional assets in the fighting, but reduced the First FedSuns Armored Cavalry by nearly half, and effectively destroyed the Second Fusiliers battalion. Shortly after this, they were withdrawn to relieve Menke.[11] The Fifth dropped on the positions held by the Davion Assault Guards and 5th Syrtis Fusiliers. They nearly broke the two AFFS units, but they were able to withdraw in good order. Later the Fifth saved the 4th McCarron's Armored Cavalry from an attack by the Davion Assault Guards. The Fifth's arrival forced the AFFS units to withdraw from Menke.[12]
Dark Age[edit]
The Fifth was assigned to take the world of Chesterton from the Federated Suns. In 3144 they landed along with the 2nd Tikonov Guard. The two Capellan units quickly forced the 12th Vegan Rangers off Chesterton. The Fifth was very careful during their advance to both minimize collateral damage and prevent the Vegan Rangers from taking effective action. (During this time, the Fifth was nicknamed The Green Knights.)[13] They were still on Chesterton in 3145.[14]
In Operation Tiamat, the Fifth landed on Liberty and fought Stone's Fury.[15]
Officers[edit]
| Rank | Name | Command | |

| Sang-shao | Kyp Marloe | 3063 - 3085[5][6][10] | |
| Sang-shao | Gwendolyn Vaughan | 3145[18] | |
Tactics[edit]
The unit is well trained in defensive maneuvers and every opponent must pay a high price to get ground from them.[5]

- To increase their loyalty rating, Kyp's Commando focused on improving their BattleMech assets. The Air Guard and Special Forces unit resented this, with the Air Guard nearly mutinying against their unit. Sang-shao Marloe responded by completely disbanding the Air Guard, sending some pilots to other McCarron's units, retiring them, or sending them to serve as instructors in the Capella War College.[22]
Despite these setbacks, the unit's BattleMech regiment and armor corps were at full strength. The Special Forces unit lost approximately 15% of its troops.[6]
