The Second only lost a single unit on Tukayyid, the [[121st Division (ComStar)|121st]], with the 321st transferred to the understrength [[12th Army (ComStar)|Twelfth Army]] during the [[Com Guards]]' post-Tukayyid reorganization in [[3053]]. <ref name=FMC>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 22, 125 "2nd Army V-mu: The Iron Warriors"</ref> While not seeing any combat since Tukayyid, the Second Army was expected to see heavy action during the [[Draconis March]]'s incursion during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. However both the [[DCMS]] and [[AFFS]] forces respected the Com Guards' neutrality, the Second pulling back to defend ComStar compounds and other humanitarian interests such as hospitals and water purification plants. This unfortunately led to accusations of renewed ComStar favoritism towards the Combine from some FedSun officers, after the DCMS redeployed their forces slated to defend those sites. <ref name=FMU>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 84, 98 "2nd Army V-mu (The Iron Warriors)"</ref> After the beginning of the [[Jihad]] the Com Guard Armies were stretched too thin. To counteract this, the 7th-12th Armies were disbanded and used to reinforce the 1st-6th Armies. This gave each of the newly-reinforced Armies a full six Divisions. <ref name=MM-210>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 210</ref> The rebuilt 2nd Army was assigned to cover operations in the Federated Suns. Under the command of [[Galen Cox]], the Second Army was assigned to [[Stone's Coalition|Coalition forces]] liberating [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] worlds on the FedSun front. During the liberation of [[Hamal]] in October [[3077]], elements of the Second accidentally fired on the [[Ryuken-ni]] and killed the unit's CO, with the enraged Combine unit accusing the Army of being Blakist sympathizers, crushing over a division of Com Guard troops before truth of the terrible friendly-fire incident was discovered. <ref name=JHST-38-39>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 38-39 - "Snakes Still Snakes"</ref> <ref name=FRDCMS-16>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 16</ref> The Second Army then assisted the [[Conner Sortek]] led [[1st Davion Guards]] in the liberation of [[Fletcher (CC)|Fletcher]] in the last months of 3077. <ref name=JHST-39-40>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 39-40 - "Ingress, Fletcher Fall"</ref> Along with the [[3rd Army (ComStar)|Third Army]], the Second was attached to a top secret mission led by [[Devlin Stone]], disappearing from public view in mid-[[3078]], <ref name=JHST-77>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 77 - "Stone is Coming!"</ref> reappearing only after the liberation of Terra was concluded in [[3079]]. <ref name=JHST-131-132>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 131-132 - "Where are the Shadows?"</ref> It was later learned the 2nd and 3rd Armies had undertaken a successful if very costly assault against the Blakist held [[Luyten 68-28]] system, the remains of both shattered armies being used to bolster the [[6th Army (ComStar)|6th Army]] in preparation for [[Operation SCOUR]] and were effectively disbanded. <ref name=JFR-106>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 106 "What Lies Beneath - The Republic of the Sphere - The Com Guards"</ref> ==Officers== *As of [[3067]] the Second Army was under the command of [[Precentor]] ''Alexander Cocus''.
