Selected by Waterly to replace [[Nicholas Cassnew]], Anastasius Focht was named [[Precentor ROM]] primarily to command the Com Guards, focusing the bulk of his attention on making a number of organization changes to the Guards as he began to take over from the mercenary commanders formerly directing the Com Guard deployment.

It was during the 3040s that Focht would instigate sweeping changes to the deployment and organization of the Com Guards, assigning the component elements of each battalion, division and army to positions that would allow them to rapidly reorganize into larger functional units as required and further enhance their mix of [[infantry]], [[Combat Vehicle]]s and aerospace fighters. Cementing the combined arms focus of his troops via extensive training for any contingency both at [[Sandhurst Royal Military College]] and frequent training drills, Focht would also tour various worlds on which the Com Guards were stationed for two months every year.
