Formation

One of the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy's cadre units, cadets assigned to the 14th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre are put to the ultimate test by seeing real combat.

4th Succession War

War of 3039

Ronin Wars

Clan Invasion

Operation Bulldog

Dominion War

During the Dominion War, the 14th was assigned to raid the rear areas of Clan Ghost Bear. They raided Thule as intelligence suggested that only the 54th PGC was on-world. This was accurate, but the Black Ghost, a Fredasa-class WarShip was in orbit. The Black Ghost destroyed one of the 14th's inbound DropShips before being driven off. The 14th landed on Thule and engaged elements of the 54th, but after losing a third of their force they had to withdraw.[1]
