Starfleet 5th Fleet

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

The Starfleet 5th Fleet was a military unit, a fleet group of the Federation Starfleet during the Dominion War.

In 2374's Operation Return, the 5th Fleet was teamed with the 2nd Fleet in a victorious effort to retake Deep Space 9. As he assembled his fleets in preparation, Sisko caught the notice of Dominion strategists when he withdrew the 5th Fleet away from it's previous position. (DS9 episodes: "Favor the Bold", "Sacrifice of Angels"; novelization: "...Sacrifice of Angels")

[edit] Apocrypha

The RPG The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon, published by Last Unicorn Games after they had lost their Star Trek licence, states that the fleet was commanded by Admiral Salok and prior to its involvement in Operation Return fought in the First, Second and Third Battles of Vulcanis defended the borders of the Vulcanis system near planet Vulcan, being reinforced by the 13th, 31st and 6th Fleets.
