The Twenty-third Alliance Striker Regiment was one of the units deployed as a part of the [[Second Interstellar Combined Assault Force]], the initial military formation deployed under the command of [[Major General]] [[Gunther Stein]] by the Alliance Parliament in response to the beginnings of the Outer Reaches Rebellion. The deployment of the Second was spurred by the declaration of independence made by [[Freedom]], and the Second was mobilized in January [[2236]].<ref name="TP1ep13"/>

By the time the Second had begun to deploy four colony worlds had declared their independence - Freedom, [[Morningside]], [[Sevren]] and [[Summit]] - and before the Twenty-third arrived on the planet Summit elements of the Second were already in action on [[Izar]]. Like the other units of the Second, the planning performed by General Stein and his staff anticipated that the Twenty-third would be supplied in part by supplies and personnel from other Alliance worlds, while the Alliance Parliament expected a number of financial concerns to float the administration loans to pay for the military campaign. Both assumptions were flawed; on some worlds, such as [[Lipton]], Alliance Militia Battalions refused to board transports and take part in the campaign, while some major financial institutions in systems such as [[Kaus Australis]] refused to provide loans, creating a situation whereby the Twenty-third and the other units of the Second would be short on supplies and matériel before they ever anticipated such shortages.<ref name="TP1ep13"/>
