==History==
 
==History==
The '''Ridgebrook Capellan March Militia''' was responsible for protecting the Ridgebrook PDZ. This PDZ bordered the [[Taurian Concordat]] as well as being close to the [[Capellan Confederation]]. As a result, officers of the Ridgebrook CMM spent time monitoring both the Confederation and the Concordat. In the case of the Concordat, the Militia worked to prevent Federated Suns interests from accidentally provoking the Taurians as well as monitoring the Concordat.<ref name=FMFS111/>

Before the [[FedCom Civil War]] the unit supported [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]].<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 136</ref> During the FedCom Civil War, the unit was ordered to assault [[New Syrtis]]. They lost that fight.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 133</ref> In fact, the [[6th Syrtis Fusiliers]] inflicted such heavy losses that the unit was effectively destroyed.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 157</ref>
+
==Officers==
 
+
As of [[3025]] the unit was commanded by [[Major General]] Pete Gullam.<ref name=HD137>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 137 (pdf version), "Ridgebrook PDZ"</ref>
During [[Operation THUNDERBOLT]] the Ridgebrook CMM held off [[Kingston's Rangers]] for so long that the [[CCAF]] had to send the [[Prefectorate Guard]] and [[1st McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] to the system. Though the Capellan units utterly destroyed the Ridgebrook CMM, the Militia unit was able to inflict heavy losses before it was destroyed. Their sacrifice inspired their successors.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 16</ref>
 
  
By [[3085]] the Ridgebrook CMM had rebuilt as a [[Light Combat Team]], but was still dramatically understrength. It lacked an armor regiment, a company of 'Mechs, and two battalions of battle armor.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 64</ref> Despite this it was stationed on [[Taygeta]] and considered an active unit.<ref name=FM3085p70/>
+
As of [[3050]] to [[3062]] the Commanding Officer was [[Leftenant General]] Seth Miller, he was promoted later to the rank of [[Lieutenant General]].<ref name=20Yp21>''20 Year Update'', p. 21, "AFFC Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref Name=ORp15>''Objective Raids'', p. 15, "AFFC Deployment Table - 3054"</ref><ref name=FMFS111>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 111, "Ridgebrook CMM Profile"</ref>
  
While stationed on Taygeta with the [[5th Crucis Lancers]] in [[3145]], the Ridgebrook CMM faced the [[3rd McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] and [[Sung's Rangers]]. The two AFFS units lost approximately half their forces during that conflict.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 40</ref>
+
As of [[3067]] the commanding officer was Major General Valerie Robbins.<ref name=FMUp138>''Field Manual: Update'', p. 138, "AFFS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref>
  
==Officers==
+
As of [[3085]] the commanding officer was Leftenant General Dana Morganfield.<ref name=FM3085p70>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 70, "AFFS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref>

The command staff have developed tactical plans to counter many possible situations, but when faced with a situation they do not expect, the smaller subunits react in a headless fashion, with horrendous losses as a result.<ref name=FMFS111/>
