The Regiment's commander was reprimanded due to his warriors moving on to using their spray-cans to paint Draconis Combine and Dieron Military District's crests on their machines.<ref name=FM:DCp58/> The unit's Second Battalion soon began showing signs of developing a gang mentality due to its lack of resources. Its second company commander, ''[[Tai-i]]'' Loveday, used his own efforts to acquire parts for the regiment. It was solely through his efforts that the Forty-fifth acquired upgrades such as [[Swarm LRM|Swarm]] and [[Thunder LRM]] parts. ''Tai-sa'' Iota worked to cover ''Tai-i'' Loveday from being investigated, but Loveday's [[yakuza]] connections drew the attention of the [[Internal Security Force]]. Being viewed as a gang also led the second company to develop gang tactics for use in the field.<ref name=FM:DCp58>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 58, "45th Dieron Regulars"</ref> ===FedCom Civil War=== The ''Forty-Fifth'' defended [[Battle of Ashio (3064)|Ashio]] from the [[1st Robinson Rangers|First Robinson Rangers]] in late [[3064]], with assistance from the [[12th Dieron Regulars|Twelfth Dieron Regulars]]. Due to the action of the Forty-fifth and the destruction of the Forty-fourth and [[22nd Dieron Regulars|Twenty-second Dieron Regulars]], the Forty-fifth went on to receive refits and upgrades for its equipment. By September [[3066]], the Forty-Fifth was active in the defense of [[Proserpina]], acting as a mop-up force.<ref>''Marsh Owl''</ref> ===Jihad=== In April [[3069]], the unit was on the world of [[Moore]] when it was attacked by the [[Word of Blake|Word of Blake's]] [[23rd Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-third Division]]. The battle became known as the ''Day of Fire'', where Forty-fifth was fought in the swamps outside the planetary capital of Shizuoka. The Forty-fifth was reported to have been utterly destroyed by an accidental chemical explosion, along with one of the Twenty-third's [[Level III]] formations.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 100, "23rd Division" unit profile.</ref> === The Dark Age === Having nearly been destroyed as a regiment during the Jihad - not by enemy action, but due to bookkeeping errors - the Forty-fifth was reborn in the [[Dark Age]] as the redesignated '''Forty-fifth New Samarkand Regulars'''. During the Jihad, the Forty-fifth suffered from being incorrectly listed as destroyed by some sources, while others listed the [[regiment]] as supporters of the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]''. While all of these reports were in error, the result was that the Forty-fifth were denied of supplies and replacement personnel. The regiment was in such a poor state at the end of the Jihad that some called for it to be disbanded, regardless of its true status - but the determination expressed by the warriors of the Forty-fifth to refuse to give in made the regiment a prime candidate for the newly-formed New Samarkand Military District.<ref name="FM:3085p41">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 41, "New Samarkand Regulars"</ref> In [[3145]], the Forty-fifth was stationed on [[Bremond]].<ref name=fm3145p65>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 65</ref> The Forty-fifth was once a specialist in small unit tactics, but by this time they had become adept at large-scale operations.
