History
In 2764 XXXIX Corps was part of the 10th Army, assigned to District 3 of the Free Worlds League Military Region. When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the Periphery erupted with the New Vandenberg Uprising and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in 2765 XXXIX Corps was deployed into the Periphery Military Region along with the rest of the 10th Army.[1]
The resulting combat and terrorist actions within the Periphery Military Region inflicted significant damage on XXXIX Corps, with two divisions lost in action - the Pollux Division and the 82nd Mechanized Infantry Division - along with the independent 195th Royal Light Horse regiment. Having survived the Periphery Uprising, XXXIX Corps went on to fight in the Hegemony Campaign, losing another two divisions - the Antaeus Division and the 42nd Mechanized Infantry Division - while the independent 7th Hussar Regiment took heavy enough losses to be disbanded.[1]
The bulk of the two surviving divisions that comprised the entirity of XXXIX after the Hegemony Campaign followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus, with the exception of the 4674th Striker Regiment, a part of the 120th Jump Infantry Division, who elected to remain in the Inner Sphere and joined the Draconis Combine.[1]
