Biography
War of 3039
A Major General at this point, Grissom commanded the First Crucis Lancers Armored Regiment. After assaulting and securing Capra in Wave One, the bulk of the RCT departed 15 July for four other worlds leaving Grissom in command of units remaining on Capra. On 24 July, the Third Proserpina Hussars and the Fifth Galedon Regulars landed on Capra. Despite being heavily outnumbered Grissom coordinated a defense, inflicting 50% losses before being forced to retreat off world 17 October. Before departing however he organized a daring raid to the Galedon's HQ, seizing three regimental banners (including the original pole [Shiro Kurita]] presented to the unit in 2304) and the guidon.
Retirement
Grissom retired to New Avalon. In 3055 he penned a biography, Tales of a Field Marshall. The guidon on the 5th Galedon Regulars was hung on his home office wall.

Notes
There is some confusion as to Grissom's position in the War of 3039. Historical: War of 3039 lists him as commander of the 1st Crucis Lancers Armored Regiment while Combat Manual: Kurita lists him as the 1st Crucis Lancer's commander. Despite Combat Manual: Kurita being the most recent publication, War of 3039 also gives overall command of the 1st Lancers to General Goran Yuu making that source the most likely one. Further, there was another Grissom Miller in this era, the commander of Miller's Marauders. However since both were engaged in combat during July 3039 about 90 lightyears apart, they are almost certainly different people.
