History

The First Altenmarkt Militia was a BattleMech command in the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery. It was formed by Coordinator Takashi Kurita as an experiment in reducing rebellious activity. The unit was composed entirely of people from Altenmarkt and posted to the Periphery border. The ISF's propaganda department told the people of Altenmarkt that the unit was achieving glorious victories in order to focus their attentions away from revolting against the Coordinator's rule. As of 3025, the command was considered a success in that regard.[1]

The militia unit participated in the Ronin War. In June of 3034, they attacked Tukayyid to secure food supplies under orders from Warlord Vasily Cherenkoff. They sent a diversionary force to keep the command lance of the Fox's Teeth and 1st Drakøns away from their target. The bulk of the unit rolled over the remainder of the Teeth. The diversionary force did not fare well, but the rest of the militia was able to get away with the needed foodstuffs.[2]

The command then rallied on Orestes along with the 22nd Rasalhague Regulars and a regiment of Night Stalkers. In June, the 3rd Drakøns hit Orestes, along with the Legion of the Rising Sun and Dismal Disinherited, who were on loan from the Lyran Commonwealth. The militia fought the Drakøn outside Ormunde and lost badly. Their command staff was captured and their supplies were taken.[3]
