Upon the arrival of the [[DCMS]] on New Avalon on July 8, 3146, the Davion Assault Guards, [[1st Avalon Hussars]], and [[New Avalon Crucis March Militia]] met them on the field. The defenders were able to hold off the DCMS forces, but the addition of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] forced the [[AFFS]] units on the defensive. The DCMS then engaged a propaganda blitz, suggesting that [[Julian Davion]] had died in combat. This affected the defenders' morale, leading to mistakes that the Combine forces used to their advantage.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 28</ref> After the [[2nd Robinson Rangers]] arrived and were shattered by Wolf's Dragoons, the AFFS High Command ordered a general withdrawal from New Avalon. On October 3rd most of the defenders evacuated from the world. Only dedicated members of the Davion Assault Guards remained on world to engage in a guerrilla war.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 29</ref> The Davion Assault Guards joined the other defenders who had left New Avalon on [[Remagen]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 32: "Operation PERCEVAL, Round One"</ref>
