Like the other regiments of the brigade, the Thirteenth was dedicated to serving and defending the people of the League, rather than serving the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]], a distinction that separated the Militia from other federal formations such as the [[Atrean Dragoons]] and [[Free Worlds Guards]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10"/>

* The Thirteenth was recorded as having been "decimated during a disastrous raid on the Lyran world of Hesperus" in the years following its First Succession War debut, per ''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 61. The unit was then rebuilt following FWLM operations during the [[ComStar War]] (2837-38). The Thirteenth Marik Militia unit article in the ''Field Manual'' specifically references the decimation as occurring during a 'raid', but that may refer to the [[Hesperus_II#Third_battle|Third Battle of Hesperus II]] of March 2789, where the FWL lost the [[FWLS Devastator|FWLS ''Devastator'']], though no ground units are mentioned in that particular event in ''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)''. Until further clarification as to the date of the unit's near-destruction, this historical point will be noted here.

* It should be noted that different years have been given for the 3011/3012 raid on Castor conducted by Snord's Irregulars and the Kell Hounds. The history section of the ''Kell Hounds'' sourcebook is ambiguous, noting on p. 5 that the raid was planned in 3011 and then narrating how Snord's Irregulars and the Kell Hounds approached Castor from two directions around 7 June, without stating a year. On page 7, however, it is stated that the Kell Hounds only returned from the mission in the fall of 3012. In the sourcebook's scenario section, the two scenarios referring to the Clinton battle on pp. 30–31 ("Lowering the Boom") and 56 ("Delta Romeo") are both dated 15 June 3012. Similarly, Capt. Taylor states he fought the Kell Hounds and Snord's Irregulars on Clinton in 3012.<ref name=RSI38/> When [[BattleCorps Scenarios#Scenario: Kell Hounds Scenario - Lowering the Boom|Lowering the Boom]] was republished via [[BattleCorps]] in 2008 the timestamp was changed to 7 June 3011; whilst this seems to be an oversight based on p. 5 of the Kell Hounds sourcebook, the reprinted BattleCorps scenario is the more recent publication, and the dates in that source have been given primacy in this article.
