The Assault Guards would later land on [[Mitchel]] to reinforce the [[Ridgebrook CMM]]. The Guards and Militia faced the [[First Canopian Light Horse]] and fought them to a standstill, but the Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry arrived to reinforce the [[MAF]] unit. The AFFS team forced the Capellan and MAF forces to withdraw, but as they did the CCAF units firebombed the domed cities that protected the population from radiation. Tens of millions of citizens died.<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 58</ref>

The Assault Guards were stationed on [[New Avalon]] in [[3145]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', p. 46</ref> There they were planning for the defense of New Avalon against the [[Draconis Combine]]. The unit had been equipped with several ''[[Conquistador (DropShip class)|Conquistador]]'' DropShips that had been converted to [[Pocket WarShip]]s, as well as a double wing of aerospace fighters. On the ground they were leading five brigades of armor, two regiments of battle armor troops, and four conventional infantry regiments.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 77</ref>

Upon the arrival of the [[DCMS]] on New Avalon on July 8, 3146, the Davion Assault Guards, [[1st Avalon Hussars]], and [[New Avalon Crucis March Militia]] met them on the field. The defenders were able to hold off the DCMS forces, but the addition of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] forced the [[AFFS]] units on the defensive. The DCMS then engaged a propaganda blitz, suggesting that [[Julian Davion]] had died in combat. This affected the defenders' morale, leading to mistakes that the Combine forces used to their advantage.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 28</ref> After the [[2nd Robinson Rangers]] arrived and were shattered by Wolf's Dragoons, the AFFS High Command ordered a general withdrawal from New Avalon. On October 3rd most of the defenders evacuated from the world. Only dedicated members of the Davion Assault Guards remained on world to engage in a guerrilla war.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 29</ref> The Davion Assault Guards joined the other defenders who had left New Avalon on [[Remagen]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 32: "Operation PERCEVAL, Round One"</ref>

The Davion Assault Guards, along with other units, played a great part in [[Operation SOLAR FLARE]], the reconquest of the [[Dragon's Tongue]], specially in the [[Battle of Greeley (3152)|Battle of Greeley]], the final battle of the conflict. There, they led the assault against the Combine forces, shattering their frontal lines and putting a quick end to the years-long conflict.<ref>''Dominions divided'', pp. 73–74</ref>
