History

Falcon Incursion

In 3058 the Coventry DMM assisted the 10th Skye Rangers hold Coventry against the Jade Falcon Incursion until reinforcements could drive off the Clanners. Prior to this attack, the unit became a "sink" unit, used by the High Command to station undesirable soldiers away from expected trouble zones. This plan backfired after the Falcons attacked. Despite their valor, the High Command refused to replace the unit's losses, leaving Duke Bradford to oversee its reconstruction.[1]

In 3063 Duke Frederick Bradford voiced his sympathies for Victor Steiner-Davion. As a result, the Coventry CPM was imprisoned and the few remains were destroyed by the 1st Coventry Jaegers and Kristen's Krushers.[2]

The unit was rebuilt through the efforts of Duke Bradford, and returned to service by late 3065.[3]

The Dark Age

Several years after the end of the Jihad the Coventry CPM was rebuilt, beginning with the first class of graduates from the Coventry Military Academy. The first BattleMechs assigned to the reformed Militia were manufactured by Defiance Industries on Kwangjong-ni, but Coventry Metal Works stepped up to provide a further twenty 'Mechs for the battalion. The Militia expected to be assigned to the defense of Coventry, but the Commanding Officer of the reborn unit at the time, Kommandant Holland, surprised more than just the Militia when he took the Militia into the Periphery on a secret pirate-hunting expedition.[4]

Officers

As of 3050 to 3054 the commanding officer was Leftenant Colonel Judith Niemeyer.[5][6] She returned to command in 3065.[7]

As of 3062 the commanding officer was Colonel William Steiger.[1]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Colonel Steven Olin.[8]

In 3145 the commanding officer is Colonel Eileen Morales.[9]

Tactics

The Coventry CPM was highly skilled in fighting in heavily wooded areas.[10]
