In May of [[3064]], while the Third Alliance Guard and the allied [[Storm's Metal Thunder]] [[mercenary unit]] were embroiled in a shooting standoff with the [[Eighth Deneb Light Cavalry]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] finally attacked. The Third faced down the [[Turkina Eyrie (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Eyrie]] while Storm's Metal Thunder engaged the [[First Falcon Swoop]]. The fighting was so brutal that even the [[Eighth Deneb Light Cavalry]] attempted to aid the Loyalist units, although they were only fired upon in exchange for their efforts.  Taking heavy casualties, the Third was forced to withdraw to [[Melissia]] with only four companies of BattleMechs left standing, leaving the mercenaries to fend for themselves.  The Metal Thunder was entirely destroyed save for two solitary 'Mechs that managed to retreat to Melissia.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 114</ref>  On 16 August, 3064, [[Clan Jade Falcon]] reached Melissia and launched an immediate assault on the battered Third. In the resulting fighting, the Third Alliance Guard were almost entirely destroyed by Clan Jade Falcon forces under the command of [[Khan]] [[Marthe Pryde]]. Only the command staff and a handful of survivors made it off-world, under the command of General [[Adam Steiner]].  They fell back to [[Chapultepec]] and later took part in some of the engagements there.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 114, 116</ref>

After the [[FedCom Civil War]], the Third was slated for deactivation, but remained on LAAF rolls at the request of [[Hauptmann-General]] [[Isadora Agravaine]].  The pitched fighting against Jade Falcon forces had reduced them to a single battalion of salvaged BattleMechs, supported by two companies of vehicles, and their attempts to rebuild were hindered by the LAAF's emphasis on rebuilding what they considered to be combat worthy units.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 166</ref> By [[3067]], the Third Alliance Guard had returned to Melissia and took up a garrison post there while they slowly rebuilt.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 178</ref>
