In common with the other March Militias found across the [[Federated Suns]], the Point Barrow Crucis March Militia or '''Point Barrow CrMM''' was formed in [[2754]] as a result of the [[Preparedness Act]] enacted by [[First Prince]] [[Richard Davion]] in [[2735]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp3">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 3: "Strategic Update"</ref> Richard established a formal training program aimed at increasing the general readiness level of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] reserve forces and formalized the structure of the March Militias, bringing the planetary militias into a common structure.<ref name="FR2765:FSp21"/>

Richard established a system whereby each of the Marches within the Federated Suns conducted internal wargames every two years, with those wargames being inspired by the [[Martial Olympiad]] conducted by the [[Star League Defense Force]] every four years. Each March Militia was formed as an ad hoc [[brigade]] drawing on the winners from each planetary militia across each Combat Region. These ad hoc brigades then competed against each other at a March level to earn the title of "Best Prepared" March Militia within each of the three Marches.<ref name="FR2765:FSp21"/>

* ''[[Field Report 2765: AFFS]]'' attributes the Preparedness Act of 2735 to both [[Richard Davion]]<ref name="FR2765:FSp3"/> and [[Roger Davion (27th c.)|Roger Davion]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp21"/> Because other sources indicate that Richard Davion was First Prince in 2735, and that Roger Davion died in 2703, the latter attribution is probably an error.
