History
Squashed into one of the narrowest operational areas by the Word of Blake-dominated Free Worlds League, the Fourth Army has suffered from the improving relations between the Blakists and the Capellan Confederation, morale bottoming out due to terrorist attacks that the Blakists and Capellans both deny responsibility for.
After stabilizing under Victor Steiner-Davion, the Fourth's morale reversed under the Gavin Dow's tenure, with Former Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht stepping in to try and troubleshoot the issue, albeit with limited success. [1]
Officers
As of 3050, the Fifth Army was under the command of Precentor V Louis Burkenbine.
As of 3055, the 5th Army was under the command of Precentor VI Anna Gesicki, an excellent combat tactician but a poor battle strategist.
As of 3067, the Fifth is commanded by Precentor IX Harris Harvison. Formerly the CO of the 394th Division, Harvison was replaced Precentor Gesicki in 3061 after his performance in leading the ComStar's force in the Great Refusal.
