Tetsuhara received command of the trainee ''Ryuken'', and Jerry Akuma was made liaison officer to Wolf's Dragoons in his stead by Warlord Samsonov. He used this position to hamper the mercenaries to the best of his abilities, including supply shortages, oppressive bureaucracy, misinformation and orders that forced the Dragoons to abandon personnel behind enemy lines.

The operation did not go well as the defenders were far stronger and better than the Draconis Combine's intelligence had anticipated (they included the [[White Witches]] and the elite [[Eridani Light Horse]] mercenary units), and the operation also suffered from Akuma's clandestine obstructive activities. His orders deliberately put Wolf's Dragoons in jeopardy wherever possible, and assigned House units such as the Second Sword of Light regiment to lead the final assaults where the mercenaries had previously done the brunt of the fighting, thus depriving them of the acknowledgment of their achievements. During the prolonged campaign, Akuma arranged for Tetsuhara's hovercraft to be sabotaged which resulted in a severe accident. Tetsuhara was critically injured, but not killed, and evacuated from the contested world. Akuma went with him, and later expressed regret about the high professional ethos of the doctors who succeeded in saving Tetsuhara's life. An incompetent officer (one ''Tai-sa'' Satoh) replaced both Akuma and Tetsuhara in their respective commands, and the Kurita offensive faltered, causing tension between the ''Ryuken'' and Wolf's Dragoons. + In September [[3026]], the first ''Ryuken'' battalion was ready and joined an assault on [[Barlow's End]] in conjunction with Wolf's Dragoons.
