The recruits of Second and First | The recruits of Second and First Platoon were trained for approximately three months when on [[2525|February 9, 2525]], they "graduated" from the [[Colonial Militia Training]] and were shown footage of [[Skirmish on Minor Transgression|the battle]] between their squad leaders against [[Kig-Yar|unknown aliens]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 223''</ref> Two days later, a pack of [[Jiralhanae]] from the [[Covenant]] arrived in a diplomatic meeting, in which the recruits provided security.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 238''</ref> However, a fight ensued, and [[Osmo]], a member of First Platoon, was killed in the fighting.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 257''</ref> | ||

As the battle on Harvest progressed, the militia split to perform two operations.

The Unggoy were killed with ease, but the other two alien species provided some difficulty.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 368''</ref> The operation was successful at the cost of seven militiamen's lives.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 371''</ref> | |||
