History

Formation


Anton’s Revolt

During the Marik Civil War, the 20th Marik Militia remained on Concord to discourage adventurism by Lyran Commonwealth forces.[1]

Andurien Secession

Stationed on Uhuru, the 20th Marik Militia was attacked by forces based in the Isle of Skye. Though originally a raid, the conflict would last three weeks and cost each of the units involved a company of troops.[2]

In 3048 the 7th Donegal Guards landed on Concord and attacked the 20th Marik Militia. After a month of battle, the 20th had been reduced to two battalions. They took the next few years to rebuild themselves and regain their proficiency.[3]

Operation Guerrero

During Operation Guerrero the 20th Marik Militia landed on Oliver with the 1st Orloff Grenadiers. The 3rd NAIS Cadet Cadre was on the world and fought bitterly to keep it in the hands of the Federated Commonwealth. Ultimately the 3rd was forced to leave the world.[3]

Operation Bulldog

The Pit Bulls didn't participate in Operation Bulldog. They also didn't take advantage of the FedCom Civil War's chaos to attack the Lyran Alliance.[4]

Jihad

In 3077 the Pit Bulls supported Clan Nova Cat's Alpha Galaxy and ComGuard's Fourth Army in the attack on Wasat. There they relived the 7th Pesht Regulars and the shattered Home Guard.[5]

On Dubhe the 20th Marik Militia and Alpha Galaxy quickly forced the two defending Protectorate Militia divisions off the world.[6] Elements of the 20th faced a Word of Blake counterattack on Marcus and were destroyed, returning that world to the Word of Blake Protectorate.[7]

In the attack on Terra they were assigned to Task Force SICKLE and attacked Rio de Janerio with the Iron Guard and 5th Crucis Lancers.[8] Under the command of Marshal Jon Davion, the 20th managed to seize three of the largest manufacturing centers on the South American continent.[9] The attack stalled outside the SDS command center on Grovesnor Island, but a battle armor company from the 20th Militia and 5th Lancers quickly captured the station, opening the way for Coalition Landings.[10]

Officers

As of 3025, the commanding officer was Colonel Mbangl Dombwesa[11]

As of 3050, the commanding officer was Colonel Albert Hilfiker.[12]

As of 3054 the commanding officer was Colonel Jerome Stewart.[13][3] He was still in command in 3067.[14]

Tactics

The heavy weight of the unit is well used in any engagement. The scouts provide the command with excellent information with two battalions forming the front, allowing the third deliver the final blow with the support of the air wing.[3]
