History
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]
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.[2]
Officers
- As of 3025 the commanding officer was Major General Lao Tsu Xi.[3]
- As of 3054 to 3062 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Oci Bergurnson.[4][1]
Tactics
As the Bryceland DMM mostly faced raids and incursions from other factions, they were skilled in 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]

The Bryceland DMM was reorganizing as a Light Combat Team. Unlike many other March Militia units they had received their battle armor units.[2] Given the relative strength of this unit and the Bremond DMM the High Command was seriously considering rolling the survivors of the Bremond DMM into the Bryceland unit.[2]
