During the [[Jihad]] the Remagen Crucis March Militia was kept busy fighting pirates and the forces of breakaway nations like the [[Malagrotta Cooperative]]. The first major combat between the Remagen CrMM and the pirate bands operating out of the Cooperative occurred on the world of [[Baranda]] on the 1st of September [[3075]]; under the command of [[Major General]] [[Raymond-Roger Marsin]] the Remagen CrMM soundly defeated a pirate incursion originating from within the Malagrotta region.<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> This was the beginning of an escalating series of battles between the Remagen CrMM and pirate bands operating under the auspices of the Cooperative. In December the Remagen CrMM worked with the [[Islamabad CrMM]] to establish a range of pickets on the Federated Suns worlds of [[Adelson]], [[Agliana]], Baranda, [[Estuan]] and [[June]]. Bolstering their combined strength with additional conventional regiments, the two CrMMs had effectively blockaded the entire Federated Suns/Malagrotta Cooperative border by the end of 3075, even as the [[Filtvelt Coalition]] were doing the same on their shared border with the Cooperative.<ref name="JHS:Tp19">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 19: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp55">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 55: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

On the 7th of March [[3076]] the Remagen CrMM began combat operations directly against the Cooperative, with an assault on the world of [[Gronholt]]. The defenders on Gronholt consisted of a couple of companies of pirate forces drawn from the [[Death's Consorts]] and miscellaneous smaller hired bands, and were quickly broken; the few surviving pirates retreated to the nearby world of [[Great Gorge]], and Gronholt was reincorporated back into the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name="J:FRp55"/><ref name="JHS:Tp21">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 21: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> This was done with the help of some minor mercenary units like the [[Wyld Stallions]].<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 20: Irregular Forces</ref>

As a result of the combat seen during the Jihad the Remagen CrMM is one of the most experienced commands in the Crucis March Militia organization. To honor their service, the Princess-Regent ordered the Remagen CrMM to maintain a "double [[LCT]]" formation, rather than the [[Light Combat Team]] used by other March Militia units. The Remagen CrMM has deployed one formation on [[June]] and the other is garrisoning [[Gronholt]].<ref name="fra17">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 17</ref>

After the creation of the [[Periphery March (Federated Suns)|Periphery March]] the Remagen Crucis March Militia was used to form the [[1st Periphery Guard]] unit. This required the AFFS to create a new Remagen Crucis March Militia unit from the ground up. The new LCT hadn't received its full complement of BattleMechs, but the preponderance of brand new conventional armor and battle armored troops made up for this lack. The loss of so much experience to the Periphery Guards has affected the unit's skill level however. Like all post-Jihad Crucis March Militia units, the new Remagen CrMM was equipped with an engineering company of [[IndustrialMech]]s and engineering vehicles to rebuild the damage their garrison world suffered during the Jihad.<ref name=FM3085p65>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 65</ref>
