History

Fought to restore the planetary Duke on St. Robert between 3034 and 3037 following a coup by religious extremists. A Battalion of the Tsamma CMM remained on-planet until 3042. In the next decades the unit was taken to hunt pirates.[1]

The Tsamma Crucis March Militia was heavily involved in the Civil War fighting on Tsamma. The Tsamma CrMM, along with the 1st Royal Cavaliers, faced the task force commanded by Tancred Sandoval. The fighting began in the third wave and continued to wave five.[2] They were effectively destroyed over two years of constant combat. The unit was reconstituted from new militia recruits and veterans retiring from active duty.[3]

After the FedCom Civil War the Tsamma Crucis March Militia possessed a great deal of salvage. Rather than rebuild the damaged unit, General Wagner chose to repair the equipment and send it on to units that were fighting on the Jihad's front lines.[4]

The reorganization into a Light Combat Team came just in time for the Tsamma Crucis March Militia. Nearly two thirds of the troops that formed the Militia unit, including their commanding officer, retired shortly after 3080. This reduced the size of the unit to LCT levels, while still allowing some experienced troops to remain in the unit. This massive loss of experience, however, affected the unit's skills. Like all post-Jihad Crucis March Militia units, the Tsamma CrMM was equipped with a company of engineers who used IndustrialMechs and engineering vehicles to repair the damage on worlds the unit visited.[5]

Officers

As of 3025 the unit is commanded by Major General Saffer Mantas.[6]

As of 3050 to 3054 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Ann-Marie Cassidy.[7][8]

As of 3062 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Michael Buckley.[1] After the FedCom Civil War he was replaced by Major General Trent Wagner.[9]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Alba Bole.[10]

Tactics

Specialized in non-lethal combat.[1]
