Line 96: The Third Army continued to apply the same ineffective tactics against the Titanium Blade until a major raid against the SLDF forward operating base at Montfriar, which saw the Blade destroy the garrison there—a company of SLDF 'Mechs—and escape with an SLDF ''[[Leopard]]''-class DropShip loaded with ''[[Wasp LAM]]s'', and millions of League dollars' worth of repair equipment, munitions and supplies. The infamous [[2759]] raid led to a year-long investigation by the SLDF, during which the Third Army forces were pulled back to their primary facilities near Marion, leaving the Blade to operate largely unimpeded other than the overstretched forces of the Jabberwockies. The investigation highlighted several failures on the part of regimental and divisional commanders caused by limited thinking and an overreliance on BattleMechs as the means for solving problems in a battle they were unsuited for.<ref name="TTS:Sp4"/> The Third Army continued to apply the same ineffective tactics against the Titanium Blade until a major raid against the SLDF forward operating base at Montfriar, which saw the Blade destroy the garrison there—a company of SLDF 'Mechs—and escape with an SLDF ''[[Leopard]]''-class DropShip loaded with ''[[Wasp LAM]]s'', and millions of League dollars' worth of repair equipment, munitions and supplies.
