History
After the Florida TTM was established, it took part in several scientific expeditions. The unit was assigned to guard a group of planetary surveyors who were working near the Circinus Federation. Later they supplied several protection and support teams to scientific expeditions in the Enders Cluster. These guard duties were well-suited to the Florida TMM, as their equipment wasn't top of the line and wouldn't be as effective on the battlefield.[1]
The Florida TTM was loyal to Katherine Steiner-Davion in the FedCom Civil War, but didn't participate in any combat actions.[2]
Though the Florida TMM didn't participate in the Jihad, a battalion of troops was transferred out of the unit to help rebuild the First Royal Guards.[3]
In 3145 the Florida TMM was still guarding the Commonwealth's Periphery border. They also hosted several representatives from the Rim Collection who were investigating the possibility of providing the Florida TMM with autocannons and ammunition. This would allow the Florida TMM to move away from the mostly energy weapon based loadout of their 'Mechs and vehicles.[4] At this time they were stationed at Halifax.[5]
After the formation of the Buena Collective in 3146, elements of the Florida TMM landed on Urjala and overthrew the government that was trying to secede from the Lyran Commonwealth.[6]
The Florida TMM landed on Ayacucho in 3147 in an attempt to force General Diego Widmer to dissolve the Buena Collective. They met the newly formed 2nd Collective Guards and engaged.[7] Prior to their deployment to Ayacucho the Quartermaster Corps sent the Florida TMM new recruits, equipment, and ammunition, bringing them to full strength. This battalion was able to easily match the two half-trained battalions of the Second Collective Guards but couldn't force them to surrender.[8]
In 3148, Task Force Kingbreaker (a battalion from 8th Lyran Regulars, 1st Buena Jaegers, and 1st Bolan Jagers) landed on Ayacucho, and reinforced the Florida TMM. The combined forces ejected half of the Second Collective Guards, and captured the other half. Most of these troops were conscripts and later formed a unit supporting pro-Commonwealth forces, the First Buena Volunteers.[9]
