Weathering ceaseless strafing runs from the Clan's [[OmniFighter]]s as they attempted to keep the Falcons' ground forces at a distance, the 111th and 201st were unprepared when the [[jump jet]] equipped [[OmniMech]]s of the [[Falcon Guards]] and [[2nd Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|2nd Falcon Regulars]] succeeded in crossing the river and assaulting them from behind. Leaving the bridge heads in the hands of the Jade Falcons, both divisions retreated toward the primary target city of Olalla with the Falcon Guards at their heels, attempting to lure them into a trap set by the [[77th Division (ComStar)|77th Division]] in the heart of the city.<ref name=T-58/><ref name=CS-70/><ref name=WC-50/><ref name=JFSB-30/>

Unfortunately the Falcon Guards' CO [[Aidan Pryde]] refused to fall for trap, escaping the trap and shattering the 201st and 111th Divisions as they withdrew to await additional troops to attempt to take the city.<ref name=T-58/><ref name=CS-70/><ref name=WC-50/><ref name=JFSB-30/>

Despite its valiant efforts against the Clans, Precentor Martial Focht elected to disband rather than rebuild the heavily damaged 111th Division, transferring its survivors to other units.
