The First participated in the [[Galtor III|Galtor]] campaign in [[3025]], against Davion forces. They fought from August 29th to September 10th.<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 7</ref> There, they destroyed the [[Raman Draconis March Militia]] and inflicted severe casualties on the [[Bremond Draconis March Militia]].<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 12</ref> The unit suffered 31% casualties during the operation.<ref name=TGCp59/> === Fourth Succession War === During the early months of the [[Fourth Succession War]], [[Coordinator]] [[Takashi Kurita]] was focused on his conflict with the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] mercenary [[brigade]], but following pleas for help from [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]], the DCMS planned and launched additional offensives against perceived weak spots on the Federated Suns border. The Galtor Thumb region was one such weak spot and Galtor III was invaded by the First Amphigean Light Assault Group. The [[Gasltor III Militia|planetary militia on Galtor III]] consisted of aging [['Mech]]s piloted by old [[MechWarrior (pilot)|pilots]] and a few regiments of conventional forces, which were swiftly defeated by the LAG. Despite the militia being easily beaten, an extensive guerrilla resistance campaign began on Galtor III that would continue to dog the DCMS forces on the planet, even though the Combine officially considered the planet to have been annexed in early January [[3029]].<ref name="4SWv1p80">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 80: "Other Actions"</ref> ===War of 3039=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Ronin War=== {{Sectionstub}} {{ApocryphalContentStart}} === Free Proserpina Mutineers === The First was sent to quell a rebellion on the planet of [[Proserpina]]. They were opposed by mercenaries covertly sent by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] in July 3045. The mercenaries led the Free Proserpina Mutineers to victory, killing ''Sho-sa'' Varus on September 21, and driving the Combine to begin evacuation on October 22. The final remaining Combine forces were cut off from escape off-planet on November 6 and surrendered on the 10th. The provisional government announced that 60 captured Combine soldiers would be tried for war crimes, including multiple massacres of civilians. However, it is likely that Proserpina was retaken by the Combine not long after the mercenaries' departure.<ref name="MW2:M">[[MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries]]</ref> {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ===Clan Invasion=== During the Clan Invasion, the First learned that their sister regiments had been destroyed by the Clans. They wanted to avenge their fallen comrades, but were restricted to garrison duty by the [[Truce of Tukayyid]]. To appease their honor, the First was assigned to raid several worlds in the Clan occupation zone. They raided [[Cyrenaica]], [[Irece]], and [[Avon]]. These raids were intended to disrupt any Clan invasion plans by seizing or destroying Clan supply depots. These raids were frequently successful and the First inflicted heavy losses on the garrison units on those worlds as well.<ref name=FMDC95/> ===Operation BULLDOG=== Volunteers from the unit formed ''The Swarm'' Provisional Company as part of [[Operation BIRD DOG]].<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 8</ref> The 1st Amphigean also raided the world of [[Byesville]], losing only a lance to enemy forces.<ref name=FMUp113>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113: "1st Amphigean Light Assault"</ref> ===Dominion War=== The First Amphigean took the world of [[Dyev]] in the [[Lyons Thumb]].<ref name=FMUp113/> ===Federated Suns Incursion=== In [[3066]], the First Amphigean defeated the [[1st Ceti Hussars]] on [[Kesai IV]], bringing the planet into the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=FMUp113/> ===Jihad=== Faced off against the [[Word of Blake]] on [[Atria]] in the early 3070s. They rotated to [[Dromini VI]] in [[3073]] and faced the Blakists a month later. The First Amphigean destroyed half the Blakist DropShips with artillery fire and continued to sting the invaders for months. Shortly before [[Operation SCOUR]] started, the High Command reinforced the First with infantry and armor assets.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref> ===Republic Era=== The First continued to hold the Combine-Blakist Protectorate border throughout Operation SCOUR and after the Jihad ended. At the end of the Jihad, the unit had been reduced to two battalions, but they realized that the Quartermaster wouldn't send them replacements. The First sent technical and recovery teams to battlefields in nearby systems, and recovered nearly a company of 'Mechs. They spent the next few years acquiring new warriors and equipment and by [[3085]], they had rebuilt to regimental strength.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 48</ref> In 3085, they were garrisoning [[Bjarred]] and [[Salford]], acting as a quick-response force for the [[Pesht Military District]].<ref name=FM3085p51/> ===Dark Age=== The First Amphigean Light Assault Group joined the [[2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group]] in battling the [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cats']] [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Gamma Galaxy]] on [[Avon]] during the Nova Cat Rebellion. Though the two Light Assault Groups were eventually able to destroy the Nova Cats, they sustained heavy losses during the fighting.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 36</ref> As of [[3145]], the First are posted to [[New Samarkand]], to bolster the defense of the planet with the short-handed [[Twelfth New Samarkand Regulars]].<ref name="FM3145p62">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 62: "First Amphigean Light Assault Group"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' |- | [[General]]||[[Olivet Satterthwaite]]||[[3025]]<ref>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 7</ref><ref name=HKp135>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 135: "Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=TGCp59>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 59: "Amphigean Light Assault Group"</ref> |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Ishajii Michaels]]||[[3045]]<ref name="MW2:M">[[MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries]]</ref> ([[apocryphal]]) - [[3050]]<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 42: "DCMS Deployment Table"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Calvin Trueffeau]]||[[3059]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FMDC95>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 95: "1st Amphigean Light Assault Group Unit Profile"</ref><ref name=FMUp118>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 118: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Kenta Kato]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p51>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 51: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Yaramiah Langenstein]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM3145p66>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 66: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== The First Amphigean LAG uses their high speed to engage an enemy force and then withdraws, encouraging their opponent to follow them. Enemies who do follow the retreating Amphigeans are typically ambushed by other Amphigean forces stationed nearby. After [[3055]], the First Amphigean used the same tactics, but ''Tai-sa''s Trueffeau and Two-Feathers would split the unit into two units. Against enemies who assumed they were facing the entire unit, this tactic of splitting up allowed the Amphigeans to hit the enemy in the flank or rear.<ref name=FMDC95/> ==Composition History== === 2821 === '''First Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Regiment/Green/Questionable)<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War'', p. 136: "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery (DCMS)"</ref> : Note: At this point in time the First was a light-weight regiment, operating at a little under two-thirds of full strength and stationed on [[New Rhodes III]].<ref name="FSWp136"/> ===3025=== '''1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Regiment/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=HKp135/><ref name=TGCp26>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 26: "Phase Two Units - House Kurita"</ref><ref name=TGCp60>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 60: "1st Amphigean Light Assault Group"</ref> :* CO: [[General]] Olivet Satterthwaite :Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Reisling's Planet]].<ref name=HKDCp135>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 135</ref> :<u>Regiment TO&E</u> :* Regimental BattleGroup (Four [[Combat Vehicle|Armor]] [[Lance]]s, one [['Mech]] [[Company]]) :* Rocket Company ('Mech) :; Ophiuchus's [[Battalion]] :* Battalion Headquarters ('Mech) :* Alcibiades' [[Company]] ('Mech) :* Epaminondias' Company ('Mech) :* Cimon's Rocket Company ('Mech) :; Pollux's Battalion :* Battalion Headquarters ('Mech) :* Phidias' Company ('Mech) :* Lysias' Company ('Mech) :* Solon's Company ('Mech) :; Themistocles's Battalion :* Battalion Headquarters (Two 'Mech Lances) :* Philip's Company ('Mech) :* Nicias' Company ('Mech) :* Miltiades' Company ('Mech) ===3040=== ''' 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Regiment/Veteran/Questionable)<ref name=HWo3039p139/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Reisling's Planet]].<ref name=HWo3039p139>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 139</ref> ===3050=== ''' 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Regiment/Veteran/Questionable)<ref name=20yup42>''20 Year Update'', p. 42</ref> :*CO: ''[[Tai-sa]]'' Ishajii Michaels : Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Tripoli]].<ref name=20yup42/> ===3054=== ''' 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Regiment/Veteran/Questionable)<ref name=ORp28>''Objective Raids'', p. 28</ref> :*CO: ''Tai-sa'' Ishajii Michaels ===3059=== '''1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' ([[Regiment]]/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FMDC95/> :* CO/1st [[Battalion]]: ''Tai-sa'' Calvin Trueffeau ::* XO Battalion: ''Tai-sa'' Nathaniel Two-Feathers :* 2nd Battalion: ''[[Chu-sa]]'' Michael Larson :* 3rd Battalion: ''Chu-sa'' Jerome Nishiura '''Starwalkers''' ([[Wing (Military Unit)|Wing]]/Veteran/Questionable)<ref name=FMDC95/> :* Wing Commander: ''[[Sho-sa]]'' Lynette Susuma '''45th Pesht Defenders''' (2 Battalions/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FMDC95/> :* Armor Commander: ''Chu-sa'' William Brandhorst '''Kilmarnock 4th Defense League''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name=FMDC95/> :* Troop Commander: ''Tai-sa'' Jack Ashton ===3067=== '''1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Elite/Reliable)<ref name=FMUp118/> :* CO: ''Tai-sa'' Calvin Trueffeau '''Starwalkers''' (Wing/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FMUp118/> :* CO: ''Sho-sa'' Trevor LaGaulle '''Kilmarnock 4th Defense League''' (2 Battalions/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FMUp118/> :* CO: ''Tai-sa'' Jack Ashton ===3079=== '''First Amphigean Light Assault Group ''' (Regiment/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=“frdcms18“>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref> : Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Dromini VI]] and [[Atria]].<ref name=“frdcms18“/> ===3085=== '''1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FM3085p51/> :* CO: ''Tai-sa'' [[Kenta Kato]] '''Starwalkers''' (Wing/Elite/Fanatical)<ref name=FM3085p51/> :* CO: ''Sho-sa'' [[Katsuo Matsuoka]] '''4th Kilmarnock Defense League''' (Regular/Questionable)<ref name=FM3085p51/> :* CO: ''Tai-sa'' [[Zosimos Gardener]] ===3145=== '''1st Amphigean Light Assault Group''' (2 Battalions/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FM3145p66/> :* CO: ''Tai-sa'' Yaramiah Langenstein '''Starwalkers''' (Wing/Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=FM3145p66/> :* CO: ''Sho-sa'' [[Ashley Pate]] '''4th Kilmarnock Defense League''' (Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FM3145p66/> :* CO: ''Tai-sa'' [[Kaoru Hagino]] ==Rules== <div class="gamerules"> ===Historical Turning Points: Galtor=== The 1st Amphigean LAG regiments may use Off-Map movement (see ''Tactical Operations'', p. 192).
