The Battle of Ridge 61 was a month-long siege on the Commonwealth outpost of Ridge 61. The Commonwealth forces were lead by Brigadier Edward Samegawa against the opposing force of Archadian troops and colonials led by General of the Army Hugo Cavallero. The battle showed the evidence of the incompetency present among the Archadian High Command.
