In [[2513]], [[M-EDF 9/21/1]], commanded by [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Ponder]], had an operation in Elysium City. M-EDF 9/21/1 was ordered by [[FLEETCOM]] to neutralize the second-in-command to the Insurrectionist leader, [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]]. Against FLEETCOM's insistence on a show of force, Ponder attempted to personally speak to family members of the second-in-command, when a M-EDF 9/21/1 sharpshooter took a hasty shot, completely collapsing the situation.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', page 111</ref>

In 2525, an insurrectionist attack on a nightclub resulted in the deaths of a number of innocent civilians as well as one [[Colonial Military Authority]] pilot, sending another into a coma. The resulting investigation into poor management and guarding of military equipment on the CMA's part would be one of the causes of the organization's downfall.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Halo: Evolutions]]'', [[Dirt]]</ref>
