In May 3052 on the planet of Tukayyid; Precentor Martial Focht commanded the ComGuards to a victory over the invading Clans' Toumans.
Prior to Tukayyid, the ComGuards consisted of 72 divisions with six divisions assigned to one of twelve army groups.
For the battle of Tukayyid and with few exceptions; the Precentor Martial maintained this organization and he assigned seven army groups as the primary defender for a number of objectives that the invading clans would be fighting for.
The remaining five army groups were assigned as reserves for the campaigns involving the Smoke Jaguars, Nova Cats, Ghost Bears, Jade Falcons, and the Wolves.
Concerned that that these five army groups reserves would not be sufficient; especially as this left two clans (Steel Vipers and Diamond Sharks) fighting only one army group, the Precentor Martial ordered that every division assigned to the reserves sacrifice one battalion or in the ComGuard organization a Level III to help create a 13th Army as a final reserve.
Demi-Precentor Steven Abrams was tapped to command this 1st division of the 13th Army Group.
Demi-Precentor Steven Abrams good qualities and attibutes were that he was loyal soldier, a hard fighting warrior, and he volunteered for any assignment where he might have a chance for combat. Assigned to both ROM and the Explorer Corp, Demi-Precentor Abrams was never comfortable with the paperwork and duties of commanding a unit during peacetime. Demi-Precentor Abams did his best to stay at the rank of Adept and prior to Tukayyid refused every promotion offered to him.
In April of 3052, Precentor Martial Focht gave command of the 1st Amalgamation division to Abrams after Abrams was promoted to Demi-Precentor for the duration of the conflict on Tukayyid.

Re: Temporary Command of the 1st Amalgamation IV - Nu
Steven, I need qualified leaders to take command of these new divisions and I am assigning you the command of this 1st division. Don't worry; after Tukayyid you will be given you choice of assignment, and if you choose the opportunity to go back to the rank of Adept.
Ignore any concerns about the paperwork. I have a qualified command staff working the HQ Level III to handle all of the behind the scenes activity. I want you and need you to take command of Delta Level III and lead this division.
Steven I need to honest. Most of these troops are at best regulars and the Level III's were transferred out of their original divisions because of politics or inexperience. Your personal history should actually help you here.
I do not anticpate using the 13th Army Group before May 10, so starting tomorrow you will have 12 days to try out you new Lancelot, familiarize yourself with your division, and prepare for operations in the Porozistu Mountains. Yes Steven, chances are you will encounter the Wolves.
Steven: I think giving you command of a division whose sole purpose is combat; plus being given the opportunity to fight the Wolves, I honestly do not see you turning this offer down. However; if you decide not to accept this assignment, I will have you pilot a medivac hovercraft.
Oh yes, you still owe me for Loric. Good luck Demi-Precentor.
