Like most Periphery planets with a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison, the [[SLDF]] troops were the target of protests and minor physical attacks to personnel.  Most of them left no one seriously injured or caused negligible damage.  However, in [[2764]], truck-borne IEDs blasted a whole in the perimeter fence of the local garrison after a local rabble-rouser was taken into custody.  Taurian rioters then entered through the gap.  They opened fire on SLDF personnel and lobbed satchel charges at nearby combat vehicles and [[BattleMech]]s.  More than a company of war machines and several platoons of infantry were lost in the attack before it was put down.  The [[33rd Infantry Division]] placed the area under martial law to prevent any additional attacks.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 227: "33rd Infantry Division"</ref>

In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]] Grossbach was one of the Taurian worlds suffering badly from a lack of funding to assist in rebuilding after the damage inflicted by the Roughriders. As with [[MacLeod's Land]], [[Sterope]] and [[Taurus]] itself, rebuilding was going woefully slowly in the decade after the Jihad ended, as a consequence of the Taurian government diverting so much effort and resources to the war effort.<ref name="FM:3085p132">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 132: "Taurian Concordat"</ref> During [[Operation MATADOR]] the [[First MacLeod's Regiment]] retreated to Grossbach from Perdition, having held out against the [[First Davion Guards]] until the arrival of the [[Twenty-second Avalon Hussars]] [[LCT]] made their position indefensible.<ref name="FM:3085p142">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 142: "III Corps"</ref>

The [[Concordat Commandos]] were relocated to Grossbach after MATADOR, having requested a border posting so that they could launch attacks into the Federated Suns. In the first half of the 3080s the Commandos launched numerous raids against Logan's Land, [[Norman's World]] and Perdition from the Grossbach, with their efforts to insert cover operatives onto the three worlds to undermine the Federated Suns governments in place proving a dismal failure because of the experience and training the local garrisons had in ferreting out insurgents.<ref name="FM:3085p141">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 141: "Taurian Guard Brigade"</ref>
