Reinforcing the 'Mech elements of the First were smaller contingents of [[Combat Vehicle]]s and an aerospace support group. Led by [[Colonel]] [[Zackary O'Gordon]] from the cockpit of his ''[[Trebaruna]]'' 'Mech, the First excelled at defensive actions, a strong contrast to the mobile, hit-and-run orientated tactical doctrine of the Second.<ref name="FM:3145p181"/> When [[Mizar]] announced its withdrawal from the League on 12 January [[3149]], the First nonetheless remained as a defensive garrison.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 62</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 2nd Galatean Defense Force''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Zackary O'Gordon]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM:3145p182>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 182, "Notable Mercenary Forces - Unaligned/Uncontracted"</ref> |} ==Tactics== The First operated primarily as a defensive formation.<ref name="FM:3145p181"/> ==Composition History== ===3145=== '''First Galatean Defense Force''' (Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=FM:3145p182/> * CO: Colonel Zackary O'Gordon :- At this point in time the First was operating at eighty percent of full strength and was stationed on [[Mizar]].<ref name=FM:3145p182/> ==Notes== <div class="gamerules"> == Game Rules == === 3145 === * The First Galatean Defense Force receives a +2 Initiative Bonus for the first five turns of a battle if it includes one [[Quad 'Mech]] per lance.<ref name="FM:3145p211">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 211, "Mercenaries"</ref> </div> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Shattered Fortress]]'' [[Category: Mercenary Commands|Galatean Defense Force, 1st]]
