History
4th Succession War
While the 1st battalion was stationed on Wazan, the 2nd on Campertown, and the 3rd on Lesalles all three planets were lost in the seventh wave of the AFFS's offensive. It is unknown if the units participated in any fighting during this time.
Operation Guerrero
Then called Stapleton’s Grenadiers, the unit was badly damaged trying to take Sarna during Operation Guerrero in 3057 during which the command staff made a last stand to allow the remainder of the unit to escape.
Purged by the Maskirovka in the aftermath of the Sarna debacle, the unit was resurrected in 3060 as part of the Xin Sheng movement and renamed the First Capellan Defense Force.
Chaos March Tours
In 3064 and again in 3066 the unit made two four month long tours through the Chaos March. When Little Richard's Panzer Brigade was lost on Genoa the unit moved there to defend against any opportunistic Davion troops. The FedCom Civil War so drained Davion units that no fighting occurred and the 1st returned to their normal theater of operation.
Officers
As of 3063 the Commanding Officer was Sang-shao Gary Weinrib, one of the few survivors of the Sarna attack and winner of the Liao Sunburst for Gallantry. As of 3067 the Commanding Officer is Sang-shao Alexander Zivojinovic.
