Garvey Whitlock was the commanding officer of the Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry during the Victoria War.[1]
History
Sang-shao Whitlock and the Fifth McCarron's arrived on Victoria on 22 October 3103 to find the planet under heavy Federated Suns occupation and its surviving Capellan defenders scattered. After linking up with the Lethal Injection mercenary group and the surviving members of Earthwerks' corporate security, Whitlock made it his primary objective to retake the Earthwerks factory from the First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry. First, Whitlock tasked the Kingston's and Sung's Rangers with launching a diversionary attack on the Third Federated Suns Lancers in order to prevent them from coming to assist the First FSAC, although both regiments were brutalized by the Lancers in the effort. Then, Whitlock lead Lethal Injection and the Earthwerks security troops in a charge against the factory's defenses, but the mercenaries and corporate guards were destroyed after the First FSAC's hovertank elements caught them in the open. Despite these heavy casualties, Whitlock's determination kept the assault going until the arrival of the Second Syrtis Fusiliers' Third Battalion from off-world put the Fifth McCarron's in a pincer.[1]
By the time Whitlock ordered his troops to withdraw, the Fifth McCarron's entire conventional complement had been destroyed while turning the Earthwerks factory into ruins. In a demonstration of the Fifth's fighting prowess, the MAC's soldiers had managed to eliminate more than half of the First FSAC and almost the entirety of the Second Syrtis Battalion before being forced to retreat.[1] The Fifth MAC did not contribute further to the fight for Victoria, departing the world after the arrival of Warrior House Kamata on 6 November.[2]
