==History==
The '''Accrington Skye March Militia''' was one of the first march militia units founded in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. In [[3036]] they faced their first challenge, a raid by the [[5th Amphigean Light Assault Group]]. The lighter [[Draconis Combine|Combine]] 'Mechs ran rings around the heavy Lyran units, making a mockery of the Accrington Militia's superior numbers.<ref name="fmla113"/> As a result of this encounter, the March Militia system was met with scorn by the [[LCAF]] regional commanders on [[Skye]].

When the [[FC]] disbanded, the unit was renamed as '''Accrington Freedom Theater Militia''' and assigned to a different Theater Militia.

During the [[FedCom Civil War]] the Accrington FTM sided with elements of the [[Free Skye Movement]]. They took the Freedom Theater command compound on [[Freedom]] but sustained heavy losses in the process. However, they quickly rebuilt.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 176</ref>

After the destruction of the [[Jihad]] a battalion of the Accrington FTM was transferred to the [[5th Lyran Guards]] to help that unit rebuild.<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 12</ref>
