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. 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.[5][6]

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.[6][7]

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.[8]

Officers

As of 3025 the unit is commanded by Major General Xerxes Davion.[9]

In 3050 the Remagen CrMM was commanded by Leftenant General Bertram Winn.[10]

As of 3054 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Hans Scheller.[11] He was still in command in 3062.[12]

As of 3067 the commanding officer was Major General Jamie Francis.[2]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Stuart Vanschoyk.[13]

Tactics

The Remagen CMM was skilled in night operations and using infantry to sabotage enemy command posts, supply dumps, and communications systems.[12]

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.[8]
