Overview
The Star League Defense Forces 15th Army was assigned to operations within the Draconis Combine Military Region.[1]
History
Administered from the Army Headquarters on Hassi R'mel, the 15th Army enjoyed a relatively quiet posting prior to the Periphery Uprising; responsible for guarding the Periphery border of the Draconis Combine, the 15th's area of responsibility was comprised largely of peaceful, underdeveloped worlds. The main action seen by the 15th involved challenges from DCMS ronin, particularly on and around New Samarkand, the former capital of the Combine.[2]
When the Uprising engulfed the Periphery the 15th Army was rapidly deployed into the Outworlds Alliance in support of the 18th Army, and over the course of the two years of conflict the 15th lost ten Divisions and two Independent Regiments in combat, with another two Divisions ultimately being disbanded due to casualty levels. This meant that at the time of Stefan Amaris' coup on Terra, the 15th was operating at roughly sixty-five percent of full combat strength.
Officers
In 2765 the Commanding Officer of the 15th Army was General Dimitry Barrios.[2]
