The '''Third Bryant Protectorate Militia Division''' was one of many Protectorate Militia Divisions to be raised by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]] to bolster the defenses of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] without adding undue strain to their supply lines of high-technology equipment. The 3rd Bryant was raised from the population of [[Bryant]] and focused on the protection of that same world; in common with the other Protectorate Militia Divisions, the 3rd Bryant would have drawn on local feelings of patriotism, something the Word used to build a reliable defensive line.

The '''3rd Bryant Protectorate Militia Division''' was one of many Protectorate Militia Divisions to be raised by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]] to bolster the defences of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] without adding undue strain to their supply lines of high-technology equipment. The 3rd Bryant was raised from the population of [[Bryant]] and focussed on the protection of that same world; in common with the other Protectorate Militia Divisions, the 3rd Bryant would have drawn on local feelings of patriotism, something the Word used to build a reliable defensive line. As a local militia formation the 3rd Bryant would have lacked special weapons or directives.<ref name="J:FRp127">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 127, "Protectorate Militias"</ref>
This unit was raised after [[3075]], as at that time only the [[1st Bryant Protectorate Militia Division]] and the [[2nd Bryant Protectorate Militia Division]] had been raised.<ref name="JS:BDp103">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "protectorate militia deployment</ref>

It was reported by Word of Blake media outlets that after landing around Trogport and the planetary capital, Novaya Mensk, the 28th, Bryant and Lipton Division forces used mine tunnels connecting to the Tupik chasm to hold off forces from the Ghost Bear [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha]] and [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omega Galaxies]]. <ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "A Time Of Cleansing"</ref>

==Destruction==
Both the 28th and 32nd Militia Divisions are known to have been destroyed on Dyev in 3076, so it is therefore very likely that the less well-equipped 3rd Bryant was also destroyed in the same military action.<ref name="J:FRp126">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 126, "Word Of Blake Militia"</ref>

In common with the other Protectorate Militia Divisions, the 3rd Bryant would have been equipped with enough [[DropShip]] capacity for transportation, but not [[JumpShip]]s.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103</ref>

==Notes==
== Rules ==
 
As long as a Protectorate Militia force is fighting on its homeworld and is acting as the scenario's Defender, the Protectorate Militia force receives the Force the Initiative and Off-Map Movement special abilities.
 
If deployed as the Attacker in a scenario, the Protectorate Militia force loses its Force the Initiative ability, but retains its Off-Map Movement capability.
 
  
If deployed on a world other than its homeworld (such as an Epsilon Eridani force being deployed on Genoa), the Protectorate Militia force not only loses all of its special abilities, but also suffers a –2 Initiative modifier.
 
 
Although Blakist-based, Protectorate Militia forces may use standard Inner Sphere force arrangements (Lances, Companies, and Battalions) rather than Word of Blake force arrangements.<ref name="JS:BDp143">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "Rules Annex"</ref>
