During the [[Jihad]], the Fifteenth partnered with the [[Fifth Crucis Lancers]] in an attack on [[Demeter]]. There they attempted to take the [[Vicore Industries]] factory,<ref name=frla10>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 10</ref> but were repulsed by the defending [[Demeter Protectorate Militia]] units and two [[Level III]]s from the [[Ninth Division (Word of Blake)|Ninth Militia Division]], ''Measure of Trust'' and ''Call to the Faithful''. An orbital drop by the [[Third Free Worlds Legionnaires]] reinforced the Coalition forces and pushed the Blakist defenders back. Three weeks later the Guards and other Coalition forces had taken control of the world, but only after bloody hand-to-hand fighting and several orbital bombardments; the Fifteenth had worked alongside the Fifth Crucis Lancers to take control of New Demeter City, while the Third Legionnaires had battled the Ninth Militia Division forces until both the Blakists and the Vicore Industries plant were destroyed by orbital bombardment<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "Tragedy On Demeter"</ref>

Shortly after this victory, the Fifteenth landed on [[Towne]] to assist Coalition forces there. Towne was particularly difficult because it had several [[SDS]] stations both on the planet and in orbit.<ref name="JHS:Tp37">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 37: "The Tale Of Towne"</ref> The Fifteenth was only present for a few weeks before moving out to their next assault, the campaign for [[Hean]]; however, the Fifteenth wouldn't make landfall on Hean, as the system was discovered to possess a multilayered [[SDS]] network. These defenses inflicted serious losses on the Fifteenth along with the [[Fox's Teeth]] and the Aerospace assets available to Group I, and most damaging of all, the SDS network destroyed the ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class [[Fox (WarShip class)#Named Vessels|FSS ''Indefatigable'']].<ref name="JHS:Tp37A">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 37: "Situation Report: Naval Defenses"</ref>
