Shinjiro began working in [[2911]] to reduce the impact the figure known as the Bandit King was having on the Combine's prefectures along the Periphery border. Looking to release commands pinned in place waiting for the next raid or attack by the Bandit King, Shinjiro established a system of bounties to encourage efforts at hunting bandits. The bounties were available to any veteran of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] with combat experience, and aspiring bounty hunters were issued with surplus [[DCMS]] equipment, including [[JumpShip]] transport and some battered [[BattleMech]]s. Given the nickname "Gray Dragons", these bounty hunters successfully slowed the frequency of pirate attacks.<ref name="HB:HKp57"/>

During Shinjiro's tenure the DCMS was faced with a major [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] offensive in the form of [[Operation FREEDOM]], which succeeded in recapturing worlds despite the death of [[Archon]] [[Eric Steiner]] in action. A resurgent [[LCAF]] made the DCMS campaign in the [[Tamar]] region more costly, and while the Dragon continued to capture worlds, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] responded to the shift in manpower and matériel from the [[Federated Suns]] border to the Commonwealth front by launching their own offensives. During Shinjiro's tenure the Combine continue to gain worlds from the Commonwealth at a faster rate than it lost worlds to the Federated Suns, but the losses on the Federated Suns front were dispiriting, particularly when the High Command made the decision to continue prioritizing the Commonwealth campaign.<ref name="HB:HKp57"/>

In [[2921]] Shinjiro spent more than six months on [[New Samarkand]], ostensibly to address the graduating class from the Sun Zhang Academy, but more urgently to meet with Director [[Clarissa Indrahar]] of the [[Internal Security Force]] in efforts to mend the rift between the Dragon and the ISF left after the [[Shadow War]]. Shinjiro was successful, although he had to make a number of concessions to the ISF including appointing the ISF Director a full member of the High Command. The new agreement between the ISF and the Coordinator, dubbed the [[Davarapala Accords]], were signed the same year.<ref name="HB:HKp57A">''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 57, "Mending Shadowy Fences"</ref>
