This led to the 36th and its sister regiments being manned by soldiers who were professional, but without the close-knit ties found in more parochial regiments. The LCAF was intent on generating more camaraderie and ''esprit de corps'' among the 36th and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/> === Third Succession War === Prior to the [[Fourth Succession War]] the 36^th Lyran Guards raided several [[Free Worlds League]] systems from their baseworld.<ref name=FMLA84/> Stationed on [[Cavanaugh II]] in [[3025]]<ref name=HS119>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 119, "Unit Deployment Table"</ref>, the most daring raid was launched against [[Tamarind]] in [[3012]].

Most of these 'Mechs were destroyed, but one skipped off the atmosphere three times and was rescued by [[House Marik|Marik]] fighters.<ref name=FMLA84/> === Clan Invasion === In [[3050]] the 36th was stationed on [[Tsingtao]].<ref name=20yr>''20 Year Update'', p. 23</ref> Prior to the formation of the Lyran Alliance, the 36th was stationed on [[Tsingtao]]. Obeying the "come home" order, they left the Capellan March world and were assigned to [[Hesperus II]]. They established a good working relationship with the [[Fifteenth Lyran Guards|15th Lyran Guards]]. Choosing to remain loyal to the [[Lyran Alliance]] as a whole, the 36th initially refused to declare for either [[Katherine Steiner-Davion|Katrina]] or [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] during the [[FedCom Civil War]], instead seeing heavy action in opposing the [[Free Skye]] attempt to take [[Hesperus II]]. The unit played a decisive role in that battle, coming close to eliminating the legendary [[Maria Esteban]].<ref name=FMU170>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 170, "Lyran Guard - 36th Lyran Guard RCT"</ref> Initially stationed to protect the Maldon mining complex on the opposite side of Hesperus II from the [[Defiance Industries]] complex, the 36th faced the [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 147</ref> They were eventually forced out of the Maldon mining complex, but a HALO drop by their 'Mech forces let them arrive in time to reinforce the 15th Lyran Guards and pushed the [[Free Skye Movement]] forces out of the Melrose Valley. They broke the 17th Skye Rangers and pinned the other Free Skye units in place. This allowed the [[Second Donegal Guards|2nd Donegal Guards]] to arrive and reinforce the [[LAAF]] units. This forced the Free Skye units to surrender.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 178</ref> This was particularly interesting as the 36th Guards had no aerospace support at the time.<ref>''The Dying Time'', p. 39</ref> ===Jihad=== The unit was overwhelmed by the Knights of the Inner Sphere on [[Preston (FWL)|Preston]] during the FWLM counterattack, [[Operation BROKEN FIST]], after two of the Lyran Alliance provinces declared war on the Free Worlds League and invaded. The 36th Guards had no other choice but to surrender. Their equipment was confiscated by the LCCC and the soldiers were held as prisoners until the end of the hostilities.<ref name=FRLAp12>''Field Report: L.A.A.F'' p.12</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 36th Lyran Guards''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[ Jessica Templar]]||<ref name=HS(LC)p59>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 59</ref> |- |Colonel||[[Emily Stevens]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HS119/> |- |[[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]]||[[Harold Andrews]]||[[3050]] - [[3058]]<ref name=20yr/><ref name=FMLA84/> |- |[[Leutnant-General]]||[[Peter Zambos]]||3058 - [[3067]]<ref name=FMLA84>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 84, "36th Lyran Guards Unit Profile"</ref><ref name=FMU177>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 177, "Lyran Alliance Armed Forces Deployment Table"</ref> |} ==Tactics== The command often used orbital drops to assault enemy positions when the opponent is unprepared.<ref name=FMLA84/> ==Composition History== === 2765 === '''36th Lyran Guards''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name="FR2765p13"/> :- At this point in time the 36th Guards were based on [[Loric]].<ref name="FR2765p13"/> === 2786 - 2821=== '''36th Lyran Guards ''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name= FSSp139 >''First Succession War'', p. 139</ref> : Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Loric]].
