===War of 3039===
Together with its sister units the Eighth Ghost was kept off the DCMS' official rosters, and so was able to surprise the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth|AFFC]] during the counterattack against their invasion. For the Eighth, that involved hitting [[Sadalbari]] in July together with the [[7th Ghost|Seventh Ghost]] and local Combine partisans. During the fighting the Eighth Ghost mauled the [[3rd FedCom RCT|Third FedCom RCT]] and eventually drove it and the [[5th Davion Guards|Fifth Davion Guards]] offworld. In this victory the Eighth displayed an excellence in combined arms which indicated that they had taken Theodore Kurita's reforms to heart and had the ability to implement them.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 96</ref><ref name=CMKp62>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 62, "Eighth Ghost"</ref>
