History[edit]

The Bryceland Draconis March Militia kept a wary eye on the worlds in the Bryceland PDZ for centuries. With the Draconis Combine on one flank and the Outworlds Alliance on the other, the Bryceland DMM employed several changes to the default March Militia structure.

Unlike most March Militias, the Bryceland DMM placed observers on every world in their area of responsibility. These local assets were very familiar with the planets they lived on, providing accurate and timely information to the DMM unit as a whole. As a result, the DMM troops that deployed to the various worlds of their PDZ found a ready-made source of local intelligence and support. This allowed them to repulse raiding forces very quickly.[1]

FedCom Civil War[edit]

The Bryceland DMM was pushed off their homeworld early in the FedCom Civil War. The unit was rearmed and, along with the First Ceti Hussars, fought the DCMS on Kesai IV.[2]

Jihad[edit]

During the Jihad, supply depots on Bryceland were attacked by elements of the Black Dragon Society. These forces inflicted some casualties, but the Bryceland DMM was able to repel them from the world. These losses were significant, but with the March Militia's shift to the Light Combat Team model, they aren't enough to keep the Bryceland DMM on the sidelines.[3]

By 3085 the AFFS High Command held the Bryceland DMM in high regard. As such their supply situation was excellent, allowing the unit to put all its supporting forces into the field and deploying a nearly full complement of BattleMechs. All the equipment used by the Bryceland DMM at this time was straight off the assembly lines.[4]

Officers[edit]

Rank Name Command
Commanding Officers of the Bryceland Draconis March Militia
Major General Lao Tsu Xi 3025[5]
Leftenant General Oci Begurnson 3050 - 3062[6][7][1]
Major General Wyatt Haig 3067[8]
Leftenant General Enrique Carstensen 3085[9]

Tactics[edit]

As the Bryceland DMM mostly faced raids and incursions from other factions, they were skilled at breaking up into smaller task groups and supporting several worlds at once. This allowed them to respond quickly to attacks on multiple fronts and repel pirates, Combine raiders, or the occasional Outworlds attack.[1]
