History
In 3025, the Dahar DMM was spread between the worlds of Galtor III and Marduk. Only a battalion of the Dahar DMM was on Galtor III, reinforced by the regimental command unit.[1] During that time the Draconis Combine launched a diversionary raid on Marduk and an all out attack on Galtor III. They faced the 2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group and the 8th Galedon Regulars.[2] The entire Dahar DMM was originally scheduled to arrive on Galtor, but only two battalions were able to arrive. The third battalion was on Marduk when two companies were destroyed when a DropShip exploded.[3] During the siege of New Derry, members of the Lone Wolves mercenary unit began looting the city. General Sir William Dobson, commander of the Dahar DMM, stopped them cold.[4] During this siege, most of the unit's MechWarriors were killed and their 'Mechs destroyed. The surviving members of the unit were able to form a new core around which to rebuild the unit.[5]
During the FedCom Civil War the Dahar DMM found themselves stripped of JumpShip transports. This left them to sit out most of the Civil War. At this same time, they picked up two more permanent armor regiments.[6]
The Dahar Draconis March Militia came through the Jihad in good shape, losing few troops. Stationed on Cassias, they were actually over their new Light Combat Team size, so approximately one half of their equipment was reallocated to other units for rebuilding.[7] The unit's commander, Alejandro Betancour, negotiated with every planetary militia in the Dahar PDZ and got them to assign a platoon of conventional units to the Dahar DMM LCT. This allowed the Dahar DMM to double the size of its conventional assets.[8]
Officers
As of 3025 the commanding officer was General William Dobson. He was killed in the fighting on Galtor.[2][9]
As of 3050 to 3062 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Brian De Waters[10][11][12]
As of 3067 the commanding officer was Major General Sarah Zibler-Trent.[13] By 3085 General Zibler-Trent was promoted to command the entire Draconis March Militia brigade.[8]
As of 3085 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Alejandro Betancour.[14]
Tactics
In 3025 the Dahar DMM were skilled city fighters.[2] But in the open terrain the lost any specialty and are confused sometimes.[12]
