History[edit]
Originally posted along the Lyran Commonwealth/Free Rasalhague Republic border, the Eleventh Army first faced Clan Jade Falcon during the Battle of Tukayyid with the Third Army, [1] and after the Falcons withdraw was among those units transferred to combat Clan Wolf. [2]
After the Eleventh Army was ejected from those postings within the Clan Occupation Zones after Tukayyid and Operation Scorpion, the four remaining Divisions were placed along the Federated Commonwealth/Draconis Combine border in the so-called Lyons Thumb. With increasing tensions born of the Refusal War, Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht transferred the Eleventh to bolster the defenders on the border of the Occupation Zones, inviting Coordinator Theodore Kurita to station DCMS troops as peacekeepers to maintain stability the region after the Chaos March came into being. [3]
Angered by this de facto occupation, the newly formed Lyran Alliance began a campaign of petty retaliation against all Com Guard divisions in Lyran space, but focused the bulk of their attention primarily on the Eleventh. Invoking heavy "custom tariffs" and snap inspections, supplies and matériel earmarked for the Army suffered constant delays. To combat this the Eleventh carefully stockpiled extensive supply caches in case of any Clan incursion, further enhanced by extensive field fortifications and defensive works on all headquarter worlds of Eleventh's divisions. [3]
Thanks to its position on the border of Jade Falcon Occupation Zone and the wedge of the Lyran Alliance closest to Terra, the divisions of the Eleventh Army were the hardest hit of any Com Guard unit during the FedCom Civil War, with three divisions sustaining significant damage in fighting against the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces and Clan Jade Falcon. [4]
After the beginning of the Jihad the Com Guard Armies were stretched too thin. To counteract this, the 7th-12th Armies were disbanded and used to reinforce the 1st-6th Armies. This gave each of the newly-reinforced Armies a full six Divisions. The 11th Army was one of the formations affected.[5]
