Both regiments were subsequently destroyed before the end of the First Succession War.<ref name="FSWp135">''First Succession War'', p. 135, "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)"</ref> ===Fourth Succession War=== During [[3029]] the Second Rangers were stationed on [[Breed]]. The [[11th Benjamin Regulars]] attacked the world on June 7th<ref name=AEoH02>''An Emissary of Heaven'', p. 2</ref> of that year the Rangers finally managed to push the Regulars off back world on June 19th, with assistance from several civilians.<ref name=AEoH15>''An Emissary of Heaven'', p. 15</ref> ===War of 3039=== In the [[War of 3039]] the Combine captured the world and forced the Second Rangers off-world. A third of the Rangers remained behind and waged a guerrilla war against the [[DCMS]] forces until the [[AFFS]] could send reinforcements.<ref name=FMFS102/> ===Clan Invasion Era=== In [[3050]] the Second Robinson Rangers are stationed on [[Phact]].<ref name=FMFS102/><ref name=20yr23>''20 Year Update'', p. 23</ref> The Second Robinson Rangers were out of position when [[Operation GUERRERO]] launched and were unable to prevent the takeover of the [[Chaos March]]. They also protested the deployment of Combine peacekeepers in the [[Lyons Thumb]], but a lack of funds prevented them from hiring commercial transport to immediately oppose the move.<ref name=FMFS102/> ===Dark Age Era=== In [[3090]] a battalion of the [[1st Robinson Rangers]] were split off from that regiment and used to form the core of the new Second Robinson Rangers. They got off to a good start by landing on [[Barlow's End]] in [[3094]], driving the [[DCMS]] off world and taking the system for the [[Federated Suns]]. The Second spent the next five decades in the Draconis Reach, frequently fighting the DCMS to a standstill. The Combine sent a [[DEST]] team to raid [[Lima]] in [[3106]]. The Second Rangers were defending that world, and though they engaged the [[DCMS]] forces, they were unable to prevent the DEST team from stealing a database from an [[MIIO]] installation.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 4</ref> In [[3139]] the Second was undergoing rest and refit on [[Robinson]] when the [[Draconis Combine]] made a huge push to take the Draconis Reach. Their transportation assets were unavailable, and so the Second wasn't able to stop the DCMS' advance. They did prevent [[Wolf's Dragoons]] from taking [[Glenmora]]<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 154</ref><ref>''Redemption Rift'' Part Three, p. 21</ref>, but had to stop when the ''[[Ryuken-go]]'' arrived to reinforce the Dragoons. The Second was stationed on Robinson in [[3144]]. The DCMS landed on the world that year and drove the defenders out of the system, but only after the Second took heavy losses. The survivors relocated to [[Markesan]] to recover.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 51</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 80</ref> Two years later the Second arrived in the [[New Avalon]] system after Combine troops had invaded the Federated Suns' capital and managed to reinforce the beleaguered AFFS defenders. Initially successful in revitalizing opposition to the DCMS invaders, the Rangers themselves destroyed a battalion from the [[5th Sword of Light|Fifth Sword of Light]]. But the subsequent redeployment of Wolf's Dragoons forces to the front lines saw the Dragoons maul the Rangers in the Wilson Forest Preserve. Most of their senior officers were killed or taken prisoner and the Second Rangers dissolved as a coherent unit. Organized defense of the world collapsed shortly after, prompting a general retreat from the world by Davion military units and government officials.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 29</ref> <ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 109, "Touchpoint: New Avalon"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 2nd Robinson Rangers''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Eric Vehrson]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HD136>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 136 (PDF version), "Raman PDZ"</ref> |- | [[Leftenant General]]||[[Cluey Montserrat]]||[[3050]]-[[3056]]<ref name=20yr23/><ref name=ORp17>''Objective Raids'', p. 17, "Federated Commonwealth Deployment Table"</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Theodore Mikul]]||[[3056]] - [[3066]]<ref name=FMFS102>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 102, "2nd Robinson Rangers Unit Profile"</ref> |- | [[Leftenant General]]||[[Erica LeBlanc]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FM:Up140>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 140: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns - 3067"</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Martin Givens]]||[[3145]]-[[3146]]<ref name="FM:3145p91">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 91, "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns"</ref><ref name=RG8p11>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 8'', p. 11</ref><ref name=RGC1p67>''Recognition Guide, Vol. 1: Classics'', p. 67</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== Preferred close-range combat.<ref name=FMFS102/> ==Composition History== === 2786 === '''Second Robinson Rangers''' ((Regiment/Regular/Questionable)<ref name="FSWp135"/> :- At this point in time the Second was a light-weight unit operating at full regimental strength, and was based on Robinson.<ref name="FSWp135"/> ===3025=== '''Second Robinson Rangers''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=HD136/> :* CO: Colonel Eric Vehrson :Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Breed]]. ===3040=== '''Second Robinson Rangers''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name = HWo3039p136/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Phecda III]]. <ref name = HWo3039p136>''Historical: War of 3039'', p.136</ref> ===3050=== '''2nd Robinson Rangers ''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable) <ref name = 20yup23/> :* CO: Leftenant General Cluey Montserrat <ref name = 20yup23/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Phact]]. <ref name = 20yup23>''20 Year Update'', p. 23</ref> ===3054=== '''2nd Robinson Rangers''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable) <ref name = OpjRp17/> :* CO: Leftenant General Cluey Montserrat <ref name = OpjRp17/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Phact]]. <ref name = OpjRp17>''Objective Raids'', p. 17</ref> ===3062=== '''Second Robinson Rangers''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FMFS102/> * CO: Colonel Theodor Mikui ** Aide: [[Hauptmann-Kommandant]] [[Lissa Katsunaki]] - Primarily medium-class '[[Mech]]s, with two [[C3]]-equipped [[Company|Companies]] ===3067=== '''2nd Robinson Rangers''' (Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FM:Up140/> * CO: Leftenant General [[Erica LeBlanc]] : Note: At this point in time, the unit was stationed on [[Markab]].
