===Post–Fourth Succession War===
After the Fourth Succession War, the Black Widow Company expanded to a battalion and became the first Dragoon command to return to active service. John was promoted to [[captain]] and given command of First BattleMech Company (The Wolf Spiders). They would see action on [[Kujari]] in [[3032]] and elsewhere. The Black Widow Battalion was further expanded to a Cluster for training new recruits in anti-[[Clan]] warfare (Note that they did not use the "Cluster" designation at the time, as the Inner Sphere was still unaware of the Clan threat). During the [[War of 3039]], the unit saw combat against a Marik incursion on [[Hall]].{{cn}}
