The '''Davion Assault Guards''' were the heaviest unit of the [[Davion Brigade of Guards]]. They have won a half dozen [[Limp Sword Flag]]s, two of which were earned in battles directly against the Capellan [[Chancellor]].<ref name=FMFSp76/>

==History==
=== Early History ===
The origin of the Davion Brigade of Guards lay in the personal guard of the Davion family; originally responsible for protecting members of the family, the brigade took on wider responsibilities as the [[Federated Suns]] evolved. When [[Reynard Davion]]<ref name="FR:FS2765p13">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 13: "Davion Brigade of Guards"</ref> became President in [[2340]]<ref name=HBHDp107>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 107: "Leaders of the Federated Suns"</ref> the brigade took on the responsibility of protecting the leader of the Federated Suns, and when [[Simon Davion]]<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/> became the first person to hold the title of [[First Prince]] in [[2418]]<ref name=HBHDp108>''Handbook: House Davion'', pp. 108–109: "Leaders of the Federated Suns"</ref> the brigade was officially incorporated as the Royal Brigade.<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/>

=== Star League Era ===
The Davion Brigade of Guards continued to grow in importance as time passed, occupying a prominent role in the Federated Suns military; the [[First Davion Guards]] joined the [[First Avalon Hussars]] as the first units within the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] to receive [[BattleMech]]s, and the Brigade was able to draw on the best candidates for its manpower. When the [[Star League]] formed, every brigade within the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] contributed manpower or complete units to the nascent [[Star League Defense Force]] - with the exception of the Brigade of Guards. Such was the Brigade's collective loyalty to the Federated Suns and House Davion that none of the personnel within the Brigade were approached to join the [[SLDF]], and when the Star League Council enacted the [[Council Edict of 2650]], mandating the drawdown of each of the Great House's military, the Brigade was the only brigade in the [[AFFS]] to escape untouched - not a single unit was deactivated.<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/>

The Davion Brigade of Guards differed from similarly prestigious units in the militaries of the other states, however; unlike many such units, the Brigade was often the first into battle in every campaign, and during the Star League era the Brigade continued to enjoy access to the best recruits, the best equipment and the best of those personnel retiring from the SLDF. The Brigade was the first of the Federated Suns 'Mech formations to receive permanently attached conventional forces, with each [[regiment]] serving alongside armor, infantry, artillery and aerospace assets.<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/>

=== Second Succession War ===
The Davion Assault Guards were repositioning to take part in [[Operation DAO]] - First Prince [[Paul Davion (29th c.)|Paul Davion]]'s planned invasion of the Capellan Confederation - when [[Chancellor]] [[Ilsa Liao]] launched [[Operation CELT]], another attempt to seize the totemic world of [[Chesterton]]. Ilsa Liao landed on [[Orbisonia]] in command of the [[Red Lancers]] and the [[Prefectorate Guard]], intent on seizing an important AFFS supply world and holding the defending garrison - the [[Second Ceti Hussars]] and [[Fourteenth Avalon Hussars]] - in place, to prevent them relieving Chesterton.<ref name="SSWp27">''Second Succession War'', p. 27: "The Suns-Confederation Front"</ref> The main Capellan forces consisted primarily of ''[[Marauder]]'' and ''[[Warhammer]]'' heavy [['Mech]]s and were soon threatening to overrun the main Federated Suns staging ground and overwhelm the defending forces.<ref name="TRO3075p220">''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 220: "Darter Scout Car"</ref>

With the initial assault going well, and the CCAF units driving the defending garrison hard, Ilsa Liao went to bed after receiving news of other CCAF units assaulting Chesterton, expecting to be woken with good news about assaults on the [[Demeter]] and [[Sanilac]] systems. Instead, she was woken early in the morning with the news that the Davion Assault Guards were dropping onto Orbisonia, having arrived at a pirate point close to the planet. Ilsa's offensive had run straight into the teeth of Paul's marshaling forces.<ref name="SSWp27"/>

Ilsa ordered a general retreat, but the light forces of the Ceti Hussars and Avalon Hussars proved difficult to disengage from, and the Assault Guards landed across the CCAF positions, threatening to turn the retreat into a rout - or a massacre. Ilsa took to the field personally, taking command of the rearguard and refusing to retreat while she covered her withdrawing forces.<ref name="SSWp27"/> The garrison was able to make good use of information provided by AFFS recon and intelligence assets - primarily [[Darter]] scout cars - to outmaneuver and outsmart the attacking Capellan forces. After four days of combat the Capellan forces were retreating from Orbisonia when the AFFS troops acted on intelligence indicating that Chancellor Liao was leading the rearguard personally to launch an aimed strike that killed the Chancellor. Ilsa Liao was the first Chancellor of the [[Capellan Confederation]] to die on the battlefield.<ref name="TRO3075p220"/> Isla died having secured a safe retreat for almost four-fifths of her forces on Orbisonia.<ref name="SSWp27"/>

===Northwind===
The Davion Assault Guards landed on [[Northwind]] in [[2841]] alongside the [[33rd Avalon Hussars|Thirty-third Avalon Hussars]]. They faced off against the [[3rd Kearny Highlanders|Third Kearny Highlanders]] and [[Stuart's Highlanders]] regiments of the [[Northwind Highlanders]].<ref name=NWHLp20>''Northwind Highlanders'', pp. 20–21: "Darkest Hour - Attacker"</ref>

===St. Ives===
Alongside [[McKinnon's Company]] of the [[7th Crucis Lancers]],<ref name=TFTp6>''The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders'', p. 6: "Brief History"</ref><ref name=SaDp15>''Starterbook: Sword and Dragon'', p. 15: "The Succession Wars"</ref><ref>''Starterbook: Sword and Dragon'', p. 16: "McKinnon's Raid"</ref> in [[2861]] the Davion Assault Guards launched a highly successful attack on [[St. Ives]]; at the time, St. Ives was serving as the capital for the [[Capellan Confederation]] Chancellor, [[Dainmar Liao]], and the attack terrified Dainmar badly enough that he immediately sued for peace, even going so far as to acknowledge all of the territorial gains made by the [[Federated Suns]] during the Succession Wars up to that point as being legitimate holdings. The Davion Assault Guards were commanded by [[Rebecca Davion]], the eldest daughter of [[First Prince]] [[Michael Davion]], during the St. Ives campaign.<ref name=HBHDp112>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 112: "Leaders of the Federated Suns"</ref>

===War of 3039===
The Assault Guards were present on [[Caph]] when the Ryoken launched a [[Battle of Caph (3039)|counterattack]] which blundered into a force six times larger than they were expecting.

=== Clan Invasion ===
As of [[3050]], the unit was stationed on [[Frazer]] in the [[Capellan March]] as a bulwark against adventurism by [[Romano Liao]].<ref name=20Yp21>''20 Year Update'', p. 21: "AFFC Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref name=FMFSp76>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 76: "Davion Assault Guards"</ref>

In the late [[3050]]'s several armor regiments that had trained with the Assault Guards on Tigress were assigned to reinforce the [[15th Lyran Guards|Fifteenth Lyran Guards]].<ref>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 80</ref> The Assault Guards also traded fire with the [[5th Lyran Regulars|Fifth Lyran Regulars]] when that unit left for the [[Lyran Alliance]] in [[3058]].<ref>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 88</ref>

====Operation BULLDOG====
The Assault Guards finally faced off against the Clans when the [[Second Jaguar Regulars]] hot dropped onto [[McAlister]], forcing the Guards from the world. The Guards rallied, though, and joined the [[14th Alshain Avengers]] to wipe out the [[10th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|10th Jaguar Regulars]] on [[Jeronimo]].<ref name=FMFSp76/>

===FedCom Civil War ===
During the FedCom Civil War, the Assault Guards secured [[Addicks]] for the Federated Suns by destroying the [[Addicks DMM]], [[6th FedCom RCT|Sixth FedCom RCT]], and [[Fifth Lyran Guards]] RCT.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 52–53</ref> The Assault Guards then relocated to [[Tikonov]], where they faced the [[1st Republican|First Republican]], [[3rd Republican|Third Republican]], and [[15th Deneb Light Cavalry|Fifteenth Deneb Light Cavalry]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 78</ref> After spending several years in the fighting on that world, they were recalled to Addicks to help repel the DCMS [[15th Dieron Regulars|Fifteenth Dieron Regulars]] and [[10th Ghost|Tenth Ghost]] regiment.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 135, 150</ref> After that was complete they - along with the [[1st Crucis Lancers|First Crucis Lancers]] - opened a beachhead on New Avalon, taking heavy losses in the process. [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] Cooper combined the First Crucis into his Assault Guards. The Crushers took serious losses, but only about one third of their total forces were completely destroyed. As of [[3067]] they had rebuilt to full strength.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 129: "Davion Assault Guards"</ref>

In [[3067]], their homeworld was [[Lee]].<ref name=FMUp138>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 138: "AFFS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref>

===Jihad===
The Assault Guards were instrumental in driving the [[Word of Blake]] off [[New Avalon]]. They arrived in [[3068]], taking few casualties during their arrival. Their ability to move their heavy 'Mechs more quickly than expected kept them from being pinned down by the Blakist forces. The Assault Guards were one of the main units defending Avalon City, along with the [[Davion Heavy Guards]] and [[1st Davion Guards|First Davion Guards]]. During the [[Third Battle of New Avalon]], they took serious casualties because they stopped several attacks cold.<ref name=JTPNA6-7/>

They were later rebuilt and assigned to Devlin Stone's Coalition force.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 35</ref>

The Davion Assault Guards then returned to garrison [[New Avalon]] until the [[1st Davion Guards]] were combat ready. Shortly after the First Guards took up duty stations on New Avalon, the Davion Assault Guards redeployed to [[Taygeta]], a world along the [[Taurian Concordat]] border. They were ordered not to initiate any hostilities, but they were assigned complete [[JumpShip]] assets and a screening force of [[Pocket WarShips]] to protect them. Apparently the Princess-Regent and High Command hoped the presence of the Assault Guards would deter any more Taurian assaults.<ref name="fra12">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 12</ref> While there they also engaged in training exercises with the [[1st Syrtis Fusiliers]] [[LCT]], helping that unit learn to work together.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 15</ref>

===Dark Age===
Under the command of [[General]] [[Marguerite McCaffee]] the Davion Assault Guards took part in [[Operation MATADOR]], the [[AFFS]] counteroffensive against the Taurian Concordat. The Assault Guards dropped alongside the 1st Syrtis Fusiliers on the 5th of May [[3080]] in a lightning assault against the world of [[Flintoft]], one of nine worlds being attacked by AFFS forces.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 54</ref> The Assault Guards were also accompanied on Flintoft by a journalist named [[Peter Remonde]] from the [[Federated Suns News Service]], who rode down to the surface of the planet in the jump seat of General McCaffee's ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''.<ref name="J:FRp27"/> The fighting on Flintoft saw the first deployment of the ''[[Fennec]]'' BattleMech.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 28</ref>

In [[3085]] the Assault Guards were garrisoning [[Carmichael]].<ref name=FM85-70/>

During the [[Victoria War]] the Assault Guards struck [[Menke]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 6</ref> During this assault they faced the [[2nd McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Second]], [[3rd McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Third]], and [[4th McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]. Their arrival allowed the [[4th Federated Suns Lancers]] to withdraw with heavy losses, but their arrival couldn't save the [[6th Ceti Hussars]] or [[4th Syrtis Fusiliers]]. Reinforced by the [[5th Syrtis Fusiliers]] the Assault Guards slammed into the Second and Third McCarron's regiments and fought for four days before the AFFS units withdrew. This conflict cost all involved their conventional forces and the two AFFS commands were reduced to nearly half strength. Later the Assault Guards rallied the Fifth Fusiliers when the 'Mechs of the [[5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] dropped on the AFFS positions. Thanks to the Assault Guards, both units were able to withdraw in good order. Shortly after this the Assault Guards slammed into the Fourth MAC and inflicted heavy losses. The Assault Guards withdrew when the Second and Fifth MAC reinforced their sister regiment. Shortly after this, the Assault Guards led the Fifth Fusiliers from [[Menke]].<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 51</ref>

The Assault Guards would later land on [[Mitchel]] to reinforce the [[Ridgebrook CMM]]. The Guards and Militia faced the [[First Canopian Light Horse]] and fought them to a standstill, but the Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry arrived to reinforce the [[MAF]] unit. The AFFS team forced the Capellan and MAF forces to withdraw, but as they did the CCAF units firebombed the domed cities that protected the population from radiation. Tens of millions of citizens died.<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 58</ref>

The Assault Guards were stationed on [[New Avalon]] in [[3145]].<ref name=45FSp46/> There they were planning for the defense of New Avalon against the [[Draconis Combine]]. The unit had been equipped with several ''[[Conquistador (DropShip class)|Conquistador]]'' DropShips that had been converted to [[Pocket WarShip]]s, as well as a double wing of aerospace fighters. On the ground they were leading five brigades of armor, two regiments of battle armor troops, and four conventional infantry regiments.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 77</ref>

Upon the arrival of the [[DCMS]] on New Avalon on July 8, 3146, the Davion Assault Guards, [[1st Avalon Hussars]], and [[New Avalon Crucis March Militia]] met them on the field. The defenders were able to hold off the DCMS forces, but the addition of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] forced the [[AFFS]] units on the defensive. The DCMS then engaged a propaganda blitz, suggesting that [[Julian Davion]] had died in combat. This affected the defenders' morale, leading to mistakes that the Combine forces used to their advantage.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 28</ref> After the [[2nd Robinson Rangers]] arrived and were shattered by Wolf's Dragoons, the AFFS High Command ordered a general withdrawal from New Avalon. On October 3rd most of the defenders evacuated from the world. Only dedicated members of the Davion Assault Guards remained on world to engage in a guerrilla war.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 29</ref> The Davion Assault Guards joined the other defenders who had left New Avalon on [[Remagen]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 32: "Operation PERCEVAL, Round One"</ref>

===IlClan Era===
The Davion Assault Guards, along with other units, played a great part in [[Operation SOLAR FLARE]], the reconquest of the [[Dragon's Tongue]], specially in the [[Battle of Greeley (3152)|Battle of Greeley]], the final battle of the conflict. There, they led the assault against the Combine forces, shattering their frontal lines and putting a quick end to the years-long conflict.<ref>''Dominions divided'', pp. 73–74</ref>

==Tactics==
=== Star League Era ===
The Davion Assault Guards were on a par with an SLDF heavy assault regiment during the Star League era, and held true to the unit motto - "Everyone Fights". Everyone from the brigade commander to the individual mess cooks was combat-trained, but with the regiment so completely focused on firepower the biggest weakness the Assault Guards had was attempting to use head-on frontal assaults to solve every situation. The result was a lack of tactical finesse that had cost the Assault Guards dearly more than once.<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/>

=== FedCom Civil War ===
As the heaviest unit of the entire regular army, the commander use fireteams to overcome the slow speed and to bring faster formation rapidly down.<ref name=FMFSp76/>

: Note: The Davion Assault Guards were stationed on [[Rollis]] at this point in time.<ref name="FR:FS2765p14"/> In common with the other regiments of the Brigade the Assault Guards had a large contingent of conventional forces permanently attached; these conventional forces included one brigade of [[Combat Vehicle|armor]], two brigades of mixed infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a regiment of [[aerospace fighter]]s. In keeping with the ethos and tactics of the Assault Guard, the attached armor brigade consisted of assault tank regiments and the infantry were the largest mechanized and jump troopers that could be recruited.<ref name="FR:FS2765p13"/>
