Assigned to the Caph Theater, from 3 to 4 on the Inner Sphere Clock, the ComGuard 3rd Armys performance against Clan Jade Falcon during the Battle of Tukayyid, only enhanced by its participation in Operations Bulldog and Serpent, led it to adopt the name The Emerald Falconeers.

History

With troops stationed in both the Chaos March and section of the Federated Suns which saw the most action in the FedCom Civil War, the Third Army was stretched to breaking point and beyond by the Civil War and associated events. Acting on Gavin Dow's orders, many Divisions of the Third fell to pro-Victor troops; not surprisingly, Victor Davion's reinstatement as Precentor Martial proved unpopular with many in the Army. Additionally the refusal of both Davion and Dow to assign more troops to the Third Army in light of Word of Blake aggression in the Chaos March resulted in general decline in the Army's loyalty.

Officers

As of 3050, the Third Army was under the command of Precentor Marty Jby.

As of 3067, the Third was under the command of Precentor Alexander Durbin, promoted to the post after Tukayyid. While an excellent field command, Durbin is a poor bureaucrat and relies heavily upon his XO to manage the Army's day to day operations.
