Many [[regiment]]al and [[division]]al commanders dreamed of commanding a force in the First. For example, the First Army was the defending force in [[2757]] during [[Operation PERSUASIVE FORCE]]. Three other SLDF armies simulated an assault on the [[Terran Hegemony]] in order to test their defenses. The First Army eventually fell, but held off the aggressor armies for a respectable time.<ref name=fmsldfp37/> The First was also the most well-equipped Army in the SLDF. Even its regular divisions received upgrades to a higher standard, though still below the capabilities of units in the Royal Commands. This maintenance and upgrade cycle was one reason that various SLDF divisions rotated through to be part of the First Army. The First Army's duties were often ceremonial, but a brutal training regimen kept the units highly skilled and ready to fight.<ref name=fmsldfp37>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 37</ref> In [[2764]] the First Army was the sole force assigned to guard the [[Terran Hegemony]], with their headquarters on [[Terra]] and [[Terra|Mars]].
