==History==
===Fourth Succession War===
During the [[Fourth Succession War]] the Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs were deployed to [[New Hessen]]. There they faced the [[2nd New Hessen Irregulars]]. The Irregulars attempted to use their superior knowledge of the terrain to destroy the Chasseurs, but the Chasseurs were able to seize Buchvaal, the planet's capital.<ref>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', pp. 10–11</ref>

===Clan Invasion===
In [[3050]], they were defeated by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] on [[Anywhere]] during the first wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]], facing the [[8th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth Falcon Regulars]]. The Chasseurs had just been rotated to the planet, and were unfamiliar with its terrain.<ref name=JFSBp36>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 36: Anywhere - March 3050 </ref> Having lost 60% of their forces they retreated off world to Somerset. Once there they linked up with the remnants of the [[8th Arcturan Guards]] and engaged the Jade Falcon's [[94th Striker]] during the second wave of Operation Revival. After a 12 hour battle near the town of Hollyfield both units were virtually destroyed. <ref name="JFSBp39">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 39: Somerset - May 3050 </ref>

===Reconstitution===
The unit was rebuilt in [[3062]] with new academy graduates from [[New Ivaarsen]]. Their sister regiment transferred many experienced officers and noncommissioned officers into the unit, but it was only with extensive training and preparation that the unit was able to come together.<ref name=FMFS99/> 

Like the First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs, the Second did not participate in the [[FedCom Civil War]]. Instead they were kept on New Ivaarsen to protect that world.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 131</ref> After the FedCom Civil War ended, the Second was transferred to [[Dobson]] to guard the Draconis Combine/Federated Suns border.<ref name=fmu140>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 140</ref>

During the early years of the [[Jihad]] the Second raided [[Galedon]] to liberate several prisoner of war camps. They were joined by the [[12th Deneb Light Cavalry]] and [[2nd Robinson Rangers]]. After making planetfall, the unit was exposed to the "Curse of Galedon" plague and most of the soldiers died. The few survivors made it to [[An Ting]], but the unit was destroyed.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 8</ref>

===Dark Age===
The reconstituted Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs were stationed on [[Barlow's End]] when the [[Draconis Combine]] invaded. They pulled back and left the world to the ''[[Ryuken-roku]]''.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 12</ref> During the withdrawal, they deployed a platoon of [[Destrier]] Siege Vehicles to cover their movements.<ref name=45FSp28/>

=== [[Resurgence|Resurgence Era Update]] ===
After the "calling of the banners" by the office of the First Prince, Mark Stephenson took command of the 1st and 2nd Chasseurs. As part of the [[AFFS]] strategy to retaliate against the Word of Blake the Chasseurs have been forward deployed to [[Streator]].<ref name="Resurgence">[[Resurgence]]</ref>
