Stationed on worlds that had been hit by front-line CCAF troops, the Fifth CDF spent most of its time as a garrison force. This suited the former Home Guard soldiers just fine. In the last few months of the conflict, however, the Fifth faced the [[VII Principes Guards]] on [[Algot]] and the [[VIII Principes Guards]] on [[New Aragon]].

The 5th Capellan Defense Force was formed from one battalion of the 2nd CDF and two battalions of Home Guard veterans. The unit was assembled quickly in [[3081]].<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> − − ===Jihad=== − -[[3081]]-[[3084]] - Immediately deployed upon formation to support [[Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS]], the 5th Capellan Defense Force was divided into battalions and used to garrison worlds taken by other [[CCAF]] regiments.

The 5th CDF battalions mounted a holding action against their more numerous and experienced foes before withdrawing two months later with horrendous casualties.<ref name="FM:3085p29"/> − − -October, 3085 - The CDF regiment found itself rebuilding on [[Shiba]] alongside the equally shattered [[4th Tau Ceti Rangers]] and [[Lockhardt's Ironsides]].

Instead of seeking to expel the invaders as earlier reinforcements tried to do, the 5th CDF had orders to render the planet worthless. Combat dropping directly on the [[22nd Avalon Hussars]] and [[2nd Syrtis Fusiliers]] outside Pictish, the regiment ignored the defenders and concentrated on the [[Shengli Arms]] factory. The CDF regiment took over 50% casualties destroying it before they retreated back to their DropShips while being pursued by the enraged Davion defenders. The regiment rendezvoused with [[Kingston's Rangers|Kingston's]] and [[Sung's Rangers]] and all three regiments left the system.<ref name=HWotRE-54>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 54</ref> − − -16–24 December 3103 - The 5th CDF delivered the two [[Victoria Commonality Rangers]] regiments to [[Quimberton]].
