Forlough relegated V Corps to a support role in [[2582]], a role that Hooker was distinctly unhappy with. By this point, one of Hooker's former friends and colleague from their [[Terran Hegemony Armed Forces|HAF]] days was now [[General]] [[Carlos Lee]], Commanding General of the SLDF; when Hooker's complaints to Forlough were ignored, Hooker complained directly to General Lee, who ordered Forlough to put V Corps into action.<ref name="H:RWp119">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 119, "Haynesville"</ref>

Unfortunately for Hooker, the first combat action V Corps saw following Lee's order was the disastrous combat on [[Haynesville]] in February and March [[2582]], which saw an SLDF Royal Brigade surrender to the [[Outworlds Alliance Militia]] and the [[Pitcairn Legion]], giving the Periphery forces both a vital boost to morale and enough top of the line [[Terran Hegemony]] [[BattleMechs]] and technology to field two complete new [[regiment|regiments]].<ref name="H:RWp120">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 120, "Haynesville"</ref>
