On 5 January [[3059]] the relatively inexperienced Sixth relieved the [[Eridani Light Horse]] of their garrison duty on the worlds [[Kikuyu]] and [[Mogyorod]].<ref name=THp46>''The Hunters'', pp. 46–47</ref> The Sixth was given a warning prior to ELH brigades leaving for [[Task Force Serpent]] that if anything should happen to their families and dependents, they would return for revenge. Strong bonds grew between the Guards and the families of the Eridani Light Horse as the years of garrison duty past. When the [[SLDF]] reassigned the entire ELH brigade base to Dieron in [[3062]], the Guards were saddened by their departure. === FedCom Civil War === In [[3064]] they were assigned to [[Kikuyu]] where they were supported by [[The Dioscuri]]. There they faced [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] during the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3064)|Jade Falcon Incursion]] and managed to hold their ground for two weeks despite the unit being badly mauled before most of the Sixth was ordered to redeploy elsewhere.<ref>''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 60</ref><ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 115: "Kikuyu"</ref><ref>''Operation Audacity'', ch. 4 (PDF version)</ref> Later the Sixth participated in the battle on [[Melissia]], where the regiment kept under General [[Sharon Bryan|Sharon Bryan's]] direct command before being released to [[Adam Steiner]] for a flanking assault against the Falcons.<ref>''Operation Audacity'', ch. 7 (PDF version)</ref> After the battle the Sixth was reported as being effectively destroyed, though some survivors escaped with Adam Steiner to [[Chapultepec]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 116: "Melissia"</ref><ref>''Operation Audacity'', ch. 8 (PDF version)</ref> By the Civil War's aftermath in late [[3067]] the Sixth Donegal had been reduced to barely ten percent of its establishment strength and was posted on Melissia.<ref name=FMUp178/> The Guard's aide Colonel Gertrude Mostue, a Rasalhague-born Lyran officer with ties to the [[Democracy Now]] political faction, was investigated by [[LIC]] for possible terrorist activities. However, Leutnant-General Urbanick prevented her transfer to another unit.<ref name=FMLA67>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 67: "Officers information and unit profile"</ref> In an effort to shore up the White Hawks defensive abilities, Lt. General Urbanick began an extensive training program with the mercenary unit [[Storm's Metal Thunder]]. This was mutually beneficial to both units and saw a good relationship build with the mercenary outfit.{{cn}} === Jihad === By [[3079]] the badly understrength Sixth had been merged with the [[Seventh Donegal Guards]].<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 11</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 Sixth Donegal Guards''' |- | [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]]||[[Seamus Kinnell]]||[[3025]] - [[3059]]<ref name=HSp119>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 119 (PDF version): "Unit Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=ORp20>''Objective Raids'', p. 20: "Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=THch6>''The Hunters'', ch. 6</ref> |- | [[Leutnant-General]]||[[Paul Urbanick]]||[[3058]] - [[3062]]<ref name=FMLA67/> |} == Tactics == The Sixth employs a broad spectrum of tactics, but excel defensively since their intensive training.
