During Wave Two of the [[FedCom Civil War]], [[Ian Dresari]] led a small force consisting of former [[AFFC]] officers and [[Chaos March]] mercenaries to his homeworld of [[Kentares IV]] to liberate the planet from its [[Loyalist]] oppressors, consisting of the [[Clovis DMM]] and two combined-arms combat commands from the [[5th Donegal Guards]], led by Lord [[Marcus Roland]]. In a mere three months, Dresari's troops defeated the Loyalists, many of whom decided to defect and join Dresari.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 82</ref> The commanding officers of the Clovis DMM were arrested by [[Ian Dresari]] in April of 3063 and the leaderless unit was folded into the newly formed '''Kentares DMM''', personally led by the recently appointed Duke Ian.{{cn}}

On January 23, [[3065]], the [[3rd Benjamin Regulars]] of the [[DCMS]] invaded Kentares IV as part of the [[DCMS Reprisal]],<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 135</ref> the [[Draconis Combine]]'s counterattack against Duke [[James Sandoval]]'s unauthorized invasion of the Combine. The Regulars immediately engaged the DMM, which was quickly overwhelmed and took heavy losses, but did inflict similar losses upon the Regulars. On January 27, the [[10th Lyran Guards]], commanded by [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[James McFarland]], landed on Kentares and joined up with the DMM. The combined Tenth/DMM task force swiftly defeated the Third and took the surviving Regulars as prisoners-of-war.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 137</ref>

After returning to the Federated Suns, the Kentares DMM was stationed on [[Kentares IV]]. The only complete [[Light Combat Team]] in the Draconis March Militia organization, the Kentares DMM consists of two BattleMech battalions. They're also equipped with a wide array of salvaged weapons, including a complete platoon of [[Purifier Adaptive]] battle armor.<ref name="fra18">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 18</ref>

The Kentares DMM of [[3085]] was considered by many to be a fourth member of the [[Robinson Brigade]]. The formation of the [[Robinson DMM]] reduced the unit's size slightly as it donated a company of [[BattleMech]]s to the new unit. Despite this, the Kentares DMM maintained its high experience levels, and was still authorized to maintain two battalions of BattleMechs.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 66</ref>

As of [[3065]] the commanding officer was [[Ian Dresari]], Duke of Kentares IV.{{cn}}
===Dark Age===
 
The Kentares DMM gave up its second 'Mech battalion to rebuild the [[First Robinson Strikers|First]] and [[Second Robinson Strikers]], but gained more [[battle armor|battlesuits]] and a company of [[OmniVehicle]]s as compensation. After the [[Palmyra Debacle]] and the near-collapse of the AFFS against a Combine invasion, the entire world of Kentares went on high alert. The local national guard commander placed his forces under DMM command, while virtually all civilian manufacturing was switched over to production of war matériel. Their plan in the face of Combine invasion was to arm the entire population and for every man, woman and child on the planet to fight the DCMS to the death.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 83</ref>

As of [[3067]] to [[3085]] the commanding officer was [[Major General]] Liam Grey, he promoted later as [[General]].<ref name=FMUp140>''Field Manual: Update'', p. 140, "AFFS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM3085p71>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 71, "AFFS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref>
