4th Succession War
During the Fourth Succession War, the 1st Chisholm's Raiders RCT was assigned to defend Deshler, which was targeted by DCMS taskforce consisting of the Sixth and Third Benjamin Regulars, backed up by twenty infantry and tank regiments. [1] While the Raiders consistently outmaneuvered the invaders, the Kurita taskforce had superior numbers, slowly but progressively wearing the Davion unit down. When the Combine offensive swept past Deshler the AFFS attempted to pull their unit out, but the Raiders chose to stay and fight, sending the DropShips and JumpShips assigned to carry them to safety back empty. The Raiders held out for months before being effectively destroyed, tying up the Combine forces on planet for as long as possible at the cost of their lives. [2]
To honor their sacrifice for the Federated Suns, First Prince Hanse Davion ordered the AFFS to reconstruct the unit.[citation needed]

Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War, the 1st Raider RCT attacked and held Marduk briefly, but were pushed offworld by the DCMS. As they were loyal to her, Katherine Steiner-Davion recalled the unit to New Avalon to assist in the planet's defense. The Raiders were destroyed as a fighting force, and their equipment and personnel were assigned to reinforce other AFFS units.[3]
