The New Republic Army suffered heavy losses fighting against the Dark Empire in Operation Shadow Hand.

In 6 ABY the army liberated Coruscant under the command of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, General Rand Talor, and General Brenn Tantor. In 5 ABY, the Army won a protracted three-month battle on Milagro against the Imperial Army. Formed from the Alliance Army, the Rebel SpecForces were re-purposed as commandos to seize bridgeheads during planetary assaults, while the bulk of the Army was to be used for occupation and peacekeeping duties.
