During the [[Battle of Sarna (3029)|Battle of Sarna]] Bloom was part of a medium lance of the [[Third McCarron's Armored Cavalry]].<ref name=FSp28>''First Strike'', p. 28</ref>
The [[Fifth Syrtis Fusiliers]] accelerated away from their planetary invasion force and landed two days early on May 27, only to find themselves outnumbered four-to-one and faced traps, minefields, and other [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] tricks from the local militia and [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]. Support elements of the Fifth, composed mostly of [[mercenary]] units, landed on schedule and went to ground to hold out as long as possible for [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns|AFFS]] reinforcements. Six months later, the mercenaries made their last stand at [[Sarna#Planetary Locations|Graves Hallow]].<ref name=FSp28/>
 
 
 
On December 1, an assault lance from the [[Crater Cobras]], led by [[Lieutenant]] [[Fiona Fields]], had been separated from its [[company]] in the hills and chose to attack two medium lances of McCarron's Third Regiment—one of them commanded by Jack Jamieson—while anticipating reinforcements from a [[Davion Light Guards]] strike lance about to make planetfall.<ref name=FSp28-29>''First Strike'', p. 28-29</ref>
