Ridzik's offensive targeted four League worlds, one of which was [[Van Diemen IV]]. Van Diemen IV became a target when the [[Free Worlds League Military]] redeployed away the [[Marik Guard]] for a planned offensive against the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]; this redeployment prompted Ridzik to send the Fifth to conquer the world, not anticipating any particular problems. The Fifth had more trouble with the invasion than expected because Ridzik and his advisers were unaware that the FWLM had deployed four front-line armored regiments to Van Diemen IV to replace the Marik Guard. Both the League regiments and the Fifth Republican were unfamiliar with the terrain, but the Republicans eventually overwhelmed the tank regiments and seized the planet for the Republic.<ref name="FSWMAv2p80">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 80, "Free Worlds League Front"</ref> === Operation GUERRERO === During [[Operation GUERRERO]] the Fifth was stationed on Elgin. There they were ineffective at countering the Capellan sponsored terrorists who were attacking the world. The Fifth was targeted for destruction by the nobles on the world once they found out that the Fifth's commander was a [[Maskirovka]] spy.<ref name=cm33>''Chaos March (sourcebook)'', p. 33</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 5th Republican Guards''' |- |[[Leutnant-General]] |[[Abder-Rahman Barton]] |[[3050]] - [[3058]]<ref name=cm33/><ref name=20yr24>''20 Year Update'', p. 24</ref> |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== === 3029 === '''5th Republican BattleMech Regiment''' (Green)<ref name="FSWMAv2p80"/> ===3040=== '''5th Republican''' (Regiment/Green/Questionable)<ref name = HWo3039p138>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 138</ref> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Elgin]]. ===3050=== '''5th Republican ''' (Regiment/Green/Questionable) <ref name = 20yup24/> :* CO: Leftenant General Abder-Rahman Barton <ref name = 20yup24/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Elgin]]. <ref name = 20yup24>''20 Year Update'', p. 24</ref> ===3054=== '''5th Republican''' (Regiment/Green/Questionable) <ref name = ORp18/> :* CO: Leftenant General Abder-Rahman Barton <ref name = ORp18/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Elgin]]. <ref name = ORp18>''Objective Raids'', p. 18</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' * ''[[Chaos March (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2]]'' [[Category: Tikonov Free Republic Commands|Tikonov Republican Guards, 05th]] [[Category: Federated Commonwealth Commands|Tikonov Republican Guards, 05th]]
