The M99 Stanchion was used by then-[[Corporal]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] during [[Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE]], who used the weapon to assassinate [[Jerald Mulkey Ander]], a member of the [[Secessionist Union]] from a significant distance. He used another M99 Stanchion during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] on [[Tribute]] to kill an [[Insurrectionist]] terrorist driving a truck rigged as an explosive and attempted to use it to neutralize a second terrorist inside a nearby [[Jim Dandy]] restaurant. His first target was successfully killed and torn apart by the force. The second target, who was holding a boy as hostage, killed herself with a bomb she had hidden in the restaurant, along with three special warfare Marines and thirty-eight civilians.<ref name="CH"/><ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 86''</ref>
