After receiving command of the Remagen militia in [[3074]] after the promotion of [[Jaime Francis]] to the Crucis March command staff, Marsin then proceeded to publicly and critically badger the AFFS High Command to deal with the piracy problem created as a result of the Outback region of the Federated Suns being neglected. Responding to his criticism, Marsin was given overall command of several regional militia units and instantly set about staging operations against the pirate-controlled Malagrotta Cooperative, repelling pirate raids before proceeding to forcibly retake the worlds of the Cooperative.<ref name=MM39/> Marsin's combat operations began with the defeat of a pirate incursion from the Cooperative on the 1st of September [[3075]], when the Remagen CrMM soundly defeated the pirates on the outback world of [[Baranda]].<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>

On September 9, 3075, the ''[[Villareal Life and Times]]'' reported that Major General Raymond-Roger Marsin had visited the Tom Rollat Memorial Hospital to speak with the thirty-nine victims of the previous week's pirate raid and then in an impromptu conference where he complained about the lack of help from New Avalon before pledging 700,000 pounds of his own fortune to rebuild those homes and businesses that haD felt the sting of piracy and wanton destruction. Some people believed that this action was only his way to gather traction, build his own power base in the Outback and then leave.<ref name=Marsin_Visits_Raid_Victims>''Marsin Visits Raid Victims''</ref>

Earning considerable public praise for his successes and pro-Outback speeches, Marsin toned down his tirades against [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] and merely contained the worlds of the Filtvelt Coalition.<ref name=MM39/> By August [[3079]] Marsin had used a combination of the Remagen CrMM and mercenary forces<ref name="FR:AFFSp20"/> such as the [[Wyld Stallions]]<ref name="FR:AFFSp20A">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 20, "Mercenaries"</ref> had driven the pirates out of the breakaway Malagrotta Cooperative and returned all bar three of the systems to Federated Suns control.<ref name="FR:AFFSp20">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 20, "Breakaway States"</ref> <ref name="FR:AFFSp17">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 17, "Crucis March Militia"</ref> While Marsin's efforts in the outback were paying off, he was faced with aggressive noises from the Filtvelt Coalition, rising levels of pirate activity, and systems that had declared themselves independent of the Federated Suns. In response, Marsin increased pressure on the Coalition, forcing the small state to focus its small military on defense, while using personal influence and almost authoritarian measures to funnel defence materiel produced in factories located in the Crucis March into the Crucis March Militia commands, boosting their supplies of conventional equipment.<ref name="FR:AFFSp17">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 17, "Crucis March Militia"</ref>
