Anton Shadd was with the Dragoons on [[An Ting]] in January [[3028]], when their then employers the [[Draconis Combine]] turned against them. On 2 January, Shadd was involved in a fight with a hostile Kuritan crowd protesting outside of the Dragoons' headquarters, killing a woman who was attempting to stab [[Jaime Wolf]] with a flying kick.<ref name=WOTBc36/>

The next day Wolf ordered Shadd to enact "Contingency Plan Mohammed," a plan that had been developed after the experience with [[Anton Marik]], which involved a raid on the [[HPG]] compound in Cerant in order to send a message to the scattered Dragoon forces ordering them to withdraw and regroup on the ice planet [[Misery]].<ref name=WOTBc43>''Wolves on the Border'', ch. 43</ref><ref name=BTp38/>

This was ultimately a suicide mission, as the small group of dedicated Dragoon soldiers and technicians who, with Shadd, had fought their way into the HPG compound, were killed after their message was sent by Draconis Combine troops (including four 7-man squads from the An Ting [[Civilian Guidance Corps]], an elite Kurita Civilian "Volunteer" Squad and a ''[[Vulcan (BattleMech)|Vulcan]]'' 'Mech).<ref name=WOTBc42/><ref name=BTp38/>
