To counteract this, the 7th-12th Armies were disbanded and used to reinforce the 1st-6th Armies. This gave each of the newly-reinforced Armies a full six Divisions. The 4th Army was one of the formations affected, receiving new reinforcements. The new 4th Army was supposed to be stationed in the [[Capellan Confederation]], but political realities have kept them in the [[Federated Suns]].<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 210</ref> As part of [[Operation SCOUR]] the Fourth Army was assigned to the [[Free Worlds League]] front as a part of Group III under the field command of [[Khan]] [[Santin West]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]].
