==Overview==
The '''Second Jaguar Regulars''' were a second line military formation of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]].

==History==
=== Operation REVIVAL ===
====Wave Two====
At the conclusion of Wave Two [[saKhan]] [[Sarah Weaver]] petitioned for and was granted permission by [[ilKhan]] [[Leo Showers]] to bring forward the Garrison Clusters to hold the Clan's recently captured worlds. <ref> ''Invading Clans'', p. 56 </ref> The Second Regulars was one of these Clusters.

====Wave Five====
The [[4th Nova Cat Guards (Clan Nova Cat)|Fourth Nova Cat Guards]] contested possession of [[Courchevel]] in December [[3051]]. The Jaguar's heavier 'Mechs made a frontal assault and broke through the Nova Cat lines at the Dragon's Rift as the Cats themselves tried a flanking maneuver, however, one warrior from the Second broke ''[[zellbrigen]]'' and after the ensuing melee only one Nova Cat [[OmniMech]] remained to claim victory. <ref name=IC118> ''Invading Clans'', p. 118 </ref>

===Post-Tukayyid===
The Second Regulars were posted to garrison [[Jeronimo]] in [[3054]].<ref> ''Objective Raids'', p. 34 </ref>

=== Operation BULLDOG ===
The Second Jaguar Regulars launched an attack on [[McAlister]] during the Smoke Jaguar counterattack launched in an effort to stop or detail [[Operation BULLDOG]]. The Jaguar Watch had pinpointed the location of a number of significant supply depots on McAllister and two Trinaries of the Second Regulars assaulted McAlister targeting Supply Forts Blade, Bamboo and Silk on 27 July [[3059]]. Supply Fort Blade was attacked by two Stars, Supply Fort Bamboo was overrun within twenty minutes, while two Stars of 'Mechs with Elementals attacked Supply Fort Silk by combat drop.<ref name="TDRp38"/> The Regulars succeeded in badly damaging two supply forts and destroying a third. The loss of these supplies prevented the deployment of troops into the Liberation Zone,<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 40 </ref><ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 56</ref> and forced the [[Davion Assault Guards]] off world.<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 76</ref>

When the Second Jaguar Regulars attacked McAlister<ref name="TDRp13">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 13, "Unit Summaries"</ref> they found not only the [[Twenty-second Dieron Regulars]] on the planet,<ref name="TDRp10">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 10, "Unit Summaries"</ref> but also the [[Fourteenth Alshain Avengers]], [[First Ghost]]<ref name="TDRp10"/> and the elite Davion Assault Guards [[RCT]] on the planet.<ref name="TDRp11">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 11, "Unit Summaries"</ref> The effectiveness with which the Second was operating prompted [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] to caution the garrison forces on all five worlds targeted by the Smoke Jaguars that they mustn't be complacent, despite initial assessments that the counterattack was unlikely to disrupt the third wave of BULLDOG. Despite the Second's successes, they were eventually overwhelmed by the superior numbers of the defending forces.<ref name="TDRp36">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 36, "Smoke Jaguar Counterattack"</ref> The Second evidently knew that their assault was a suicide mission, but had been determined to inflict as much damage as possible; if the Smoke Jaguar troops hadn't been determined to win and sacrifice themselves in the process, the damage inflicted might've been less, but as it was enough damage was inflicted to prevent the regiments on McAlister deploying in the third wave of BULLDOG.<ref name="TDRp38">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 38-40, "Kamikaze"</ref>
