===Formation===
 
The roots of this command are from a remaining battalion which survived the assault during the formation of the early [[FWL]]. Since then the command fought many battles. In recent years the unit was tasked with the defense of the valuable [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno|Corean Enterprises]] factory on [[Stewart]]. The command see only mock battles but could save their experience through tough training cycles.<ref name="FM:FWLp99"/>

=== Star League Era ===
 
Like the other regiments of the Stewart Dragoons the Home Guard was notionally a provincial unit during the [[Star League]] era<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp18">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 18: "Stewart Dragoons"</ref> - all of the forces associated with provinces officially became provincial forces, distinct from federal forces, in what was at least partly an act of fiction to avoid disbanding a large number of regiments under the demands of the Star League [[Council Edict of 2650]]<ref name="FR:2765FWLMp4">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 4: "Circumventing Directive 30"</ref> - but the Home Guard's loyalty remained firmly with the federal government and the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]]. In addition to defending the Stewart Commonwealth the Home Guard and its sister regiments could also be called on to defend the Free Worlds League border with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], and although the Dragoons didn't participate in the [[Marik Civil War (28th c.)|Marik Civil War]], they remained loyal to [[Elise Marik]] and would have mobilized at her command if needed.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp18"/>

During the closing years of the Star League the Home Guard were responsible for two main duties: providing a garrison force for the Corean Enterprises factories on [[Stewart]] and providing a bodyguard for [[Earl]] [[David Stewart]], the Earl of Stewart and commander-in-chief of the Stewart Dragoons - although the Earl had chosen to delegate the responsibilities and duties of commander-in-chief of the dragoons to the [[brigade]] commanding officer, [[General]] [[Amelia Stewart-Marik]], a second cousin to Captain-General [[Kenyon Marik]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp18"/>

In [[2765]] the Home Guard had its Third Battalion guarding the Earl, while its First and Second Battalions were garrisoning the Corean Enterprises facilities. The First and Second Battalions often found themselves in contention with the nearby [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison, the [[Eighty-sixth Jump Infantry Division]], although it also put the Home Guard firmly in the good graces of Corean Enterprises and was the reason that the Home Guard were both the best-equipped regiment in the Dragoons and the regiment that fielded the most Corean Enterprises-manufactured equipment.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp18"/>
