−	Like many DCMS units, the Second An Ting Legion would take part in [[Operation BULLDOG]], stationed on [[Meinacos]] as of May 13 when [[Operation BIRD DOG]] was launched. During BULLDOG's first wave,<ref name=TDRp10>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 10-11: "Unit Summaries"</ref> the Second An Ting Legion would issue an unusual [[Trial of Possession]] for [[Irece]] and its [[Clan Nova Cat]] forces, challenging the [[5th Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Fifth Garrison Cluster]] to a drinking contest. The Second Legion's legendary drinker [[infantry]]man [[Ewan Paltrow]] would easily triumph against [[aerospace fighter]] pilot [[Soia]], the tiny [[Trueborn]] earning the admiration from the [[Xi Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat's entire Xi Provisional Galaxy]] as they joined the [[Second Star League|reborn Star League]].<ref name=FMCSp120>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 120: "Clan Nova Cat - Xi Provisional Galaxy"</ref>	+	In [[3062]] the Second was posted on [[Richmond]]. They faced the Fifth Bear Regulars of Clan Ghost Bear's Xi Galaxy.<ref>''Of War and Peace and Cherry Trees''</ref>
−	The unit would then deploy to [[Caripare]], a jointly-held [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]/Nova Cat world, during BULLDOG's second wave. With the Nova Cat holdings and defending [[Fifth Nova Cat Regulars]] [[Cluster]] and [[1st Nova Cat Guards (Clan Nova Cat)|First Nova Cat Guards]] elements on-world taken as ''[[abtakha]]'' during the first wave, the Second An Ting Legion would join the [[First Shin Legion]], [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[79th Division (ComStar)|Seventy-Ninth Division]], [[1st Fusiliers of Oriente|First Fusiliers of Oriente]], [[First St. Ives Lancers]] alongside the newly renamed First Star League Nova Cat Guards and Fifth Star League Regulars in attacking the [[Second Jaguar Guards]] and the Smoke Jaguar enclave on Caripare, inflicting heavy losses before the Jaguars withdrew in the face Nova Cat collusion with the [[Inner Sphere]] forces. With the other units moving on to other targets, the Second An Ting Legion remained behind with the Fifth Regulars, First Guards to garrison the planet.<ref name=TDRp10/><ref name=TDR-24>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 24: "Wave Two: Driving Forward"</ref><ref name=TDR-24>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 24: "Wave Two: Driving Forward"</ref>	+	They also fought on Mienacos, Irece, and Caripare.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 10</ref>

The garrison on New Caledonia had an unusually large continent of [[aerospace fighter]]s, but the arrival of the [[Tenth Donegal Guards]] [[RCT]] and the [[Thirtieth Lyran Guards]] RCT in the New Caledonia system on the 22nd of August 3028 achieved total surprise over the defending forces. The Thirtieth dropped north of Redfev, the planetary capital city and major industrial center, while the Tenth dropped to the south of the city. The Second An Ting Legion managed to withdraw from New Caledonia, but the two Lyran RCTs inflicting enough damage on the Legion that more than a fifth of its equipment had been lost before the Legion escaped.<ref name="NAIS4SWp50">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 50, "Other Early Action"</ref> ===Ronin War=== Stationed on Trondheim, the Second An Ting came under attack by the Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars. Operating under falsified orders, the Twenty-fifth decimated the Second An Ting's barracks and motor pool in a well-organized surprise attack. After two days, the Second An Ting rallied their forces outside of Misby Flats and attempted to retake the city from the Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars. During their approach; however, the Second came under prolonged artillery fire. Suffering from several hundred rounds of artillery fire, targeted without regard for the local citizenry, the Second withdrew and called for reinforcements.<ref name=H:BWp105>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 105</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== During the Clan Invasion the Second An Ting Legion was stationed on Tanh Linh with the [[42nd Dieron Regulars]]. The two units expected to have a peaceful rotation after the [[Truce of Tukayyid]], but the 3rd Jaguar Cavaliers attacked the world just two weeks after the Truce went into effect.<ref name=FMDC98>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 98, "2nd An Ting Unit Profile"</ref> Using their skill at night fighting to frustrate the Smoke Jaguars, the Second played a game of cat and mouse with the Jaguars, never staying in one place very long and keeping the Clan unit off-balance. Finally after a week of these tactics, the Smoke Jaguars pinned the Forty-second Dieron Regulars against a mountain range and started blasting them to bits. The Second An Ting Legion slammed into the rear of the Jaguar unit, capturing it between the two [[DCMS]] units and driving it offworld. This was one of the earliest victories against the Clans, but a bittersweet one; The Forty-second Dieron Regulars were destroyed and the Second suffered heavy losses.<ref name=FMDC98/> The Second An Ting was rotated to Leiston to rebuild. This rebuilding effort resulted in the Legion having a large amount of upgraded Inner Sphere equipment. ===Operation Bulldog=== In [[3062]] the Second was posted on [[Richmond]]. They faced the Fifth Bear Regulars of Clan Ghost Bear's Xi Galaxy.<ref>''Of War and Peace and Cherry Trees''</ref> They also fought on Mienacos, Irece, and Caripare.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 10</ref> ===Dominion War=== The Second An Ting Legion fought the [[5th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|5th Bear Regulars]] on [[Richmond]].

While there, the two units expelled [[Black Dragon Society]] supporters and held the planet under martial law until a new civilian government could be installed.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 69, "Black Dragons Contained"</ref> They spent the next year hunting down Black Dragon supporters on [[Virentofta]], [[McAlister]], and [[Bangor]] before being assigned to garrison [[Bjarred]]. Later in [[3078]] the Second and the [[1st Arkab Legion]] arrived to reinforce the 10th Pesht Regulars, who were fighting on Korramabad. The Second's members were totally disgusted by what they saw on the world. To cleanse the honor of the Combine, the Second subordinated themselves to the [[1st Arkab Legion]] and supported the Legion assault on [[Slaithwaite]].<ref name="frdcms18">''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref> The successful campaign on Slaithwaite saw more than 300 Black Dragon Society leaders and sympathizers executed.<ref name="J:FRp58">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 58, "The Jihad in Review"</ref> After that campaign, the Second split into battalions and garrisoned [[Korramabad]], [[Gravenhage]] and [[Hartshill]].<ref name="frdcms18"/> ===Republic Era=== [[3085]] found the Second An Ting Legion on [[Klathandu IV]]. Unfortunately the [[Draconis March]] forces have raided the world constantly, and as a result the unit has lost a battalion of troops.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 48</ref> ===Dark Age=== The Second was posted with the [[Eighth Legion of Vega]] during the reclaiming of the [[Dieron Military District]] worlds. Their advance were stopped however by the creation of the [[Fortress Republic]]. They are currently hung out alone on the triple border of the [[Republic of the Sphere]] and the [[Vega Protectorate]]. The Second has refrained from attacking the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] due to their concern over the poorly supplied Eighth. Currently they are content with carrying out recon raids and repelling the same.<ref name="FM3145p62">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 62, "Second An Ting Legion"</ref> During [[Operation TIAMAT]] in [[3149]] the Second attacked [[Ronel]] along with the [[1st Dieron Regulars|First Dieron Regulars]]. The supply-starved [[2nd Ceti Hussars|Second Ceti Hussars]] were soon broken by the two DCMS regiments and left them in possession of Ronel.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 72</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 2nd An Ting Legion''' |- | ''[[Brigadier General]]''||[[Victoria Kuhlmeier]]||[[3025]] - [[3034]]<ref name=HKp136>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 136, "Unit Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=BWp107>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 107: "The Drakon's Bite - Trondheim"</ref> |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Ijogi Waters]]||[[3050]] - [[3052]]<ref name=20yup41/><ref name=FMUp98>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 98</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Shin Oshiko]]||[[3059]]<ref name=FMDC98/> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Erik Schmidtt]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMUp119>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 119, "DCMS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Matthei Kozlowski]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p49>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 49, "DCMS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Rhea Sutton]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM3145p64>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 64, "DCMS Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== The Second An Ting Legion specialized in night operations and engaging multiple enemies at once.
