The Third Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
To silence the division's critics, the Third often swapped its newer equipment for older gear, showing that it was the soldier—not the hardware—that truly mattered.[1]
In 2764, the unit was stationed on Ljugarn,[2] assigned as part of VIII Corps, Fourteenth Army to District 1 of the Draconis Combine Military Region and then transferred to District 2 in 2765 in response to the Periphery Uprising. The unit was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[3]
