History
A brigade of the Remagen Crucis March Militia participated in the Second Battle of New Avalon.[1] This reduced the RCT to approximately half-strength, with the armored regiments sustaining the most casualties. The AeroSpace Wing remained at full strength.[2]
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 occured 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.[3][4] This was the beginning of an escalating series of battles between the Remagen CrMM and pirate bands operating under the auspices of the Cooperative.
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.[5]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Major General Xerxes Davion.[6]
In 3050 the Remagen CrMM was commanded by Leftenant General Bertram Winn.[7]
As of 3054 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Hans Scheller.[8] He was still in command in 3062.[9]
Tactics
The Remagen CMM was skilled in night operations and using infantry to sabotage enemy command posts, supply dumps, and communications systems.[9]

The frequent anti-pirate activities of the Remagen CrMM reduced the unit by approximately 30%. Though this would be a problem for a full fledged RCT, the double LCT formation used by the Remagen CrMM hasn't suffered.[5]
Notes
The original Remagen Combat Region was renamed the Nunivak Combat Region following the formation of the Federated Commonwealth, but the Remagen CMM refused to change their name.[9]
