History
Vonda de Greer was the commanding officer of the First FedCom RCT from May or June 3039 until the unit's ejection from Gan Singh in 3057.[1][2][3][4] De Greer had been serving as the Executive Officer of the First FedCom RCT during the initial landings on Nashira during the War of 3039, and supported the recommendation from Colonel Mitch Nelson of the Twelfth Vegan Rangers for a risky orbital drop on Logan City, a plan opposed by her Commanding Officer, Marshal Mira Tran. Although the Vegan Rangers were the more junior unit (Nelson being the Commanding Officer of the Rangers' Delta Regiment) it was expected that Tran would act under direction from Nelson, as the more experienced officer.[5][1]
Tran dropped the First FedCom on Ogawa, a spaceport city some fifty kilometers south of the Rangers' drop zone, but was so confident of the superiority of the First that she failed to secure the landing zone first. The local militia, which had a ferocious reputation, launched an immediate counter-attack as the troops from the First were unloading, and it took five days for the First to finally secure Ogawa Port in the face of conventional and unconventional attacks, including suicide attacks using vehicle-borne explosives. The First lost eight BattleMechs, as well as more than two companies of armoured vehicles and two hundred infantry troopers during those five days, and Tran was recalled to Errai; de Greer, currently a Leftenant General, was given a field promotion to command the entire of the First,[1] and would continue to do so as a substantive Marshal for almost two decades.[2][3][4]
