== | ==History== | ||
On [[2524|December 23, 2524]], the [[Harvest militia]] began training for recruits, in order to handle internal security operations against the [[Insurrectionist]]s, who were causing instability across UNSC-controlled space with terrorist attacks aimed at civilians.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 66''</ref> There were two platoons established; First Platoon and [[Second Platoon]]. Each platoon had been split into three squads, with twelve recruits in each.{{Ref/Reuse|ch121}} | |||
== | 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> | ||

*[[ | On February 22, 2525, the platoons were stationed in [[Utgard]] while [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne|Byrne]] and both platoons were sent to prevent the Covenant attack on [[Gladsheim]], except for both Charlie Squads. However, they were too late and the town was destroyed and its population was slaughtered, except for one resident.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 289-297''</ref> | ||

*[[ | As the battle on Harvest progressed, the militia split to perform two operations. The first, led by Johnson, was a volunteer operation to secure the space-borne [[Tiara]] platform to ensure civilians evacuating in cargo freighters would safely leave the planet. The militia engaged [[Yanme'e]], [[Unggoy]], and Jiralhanae led by [[Tartarus]]. 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> | ||

The fate of the surviving members is unknown, though it is presumed they joined the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 385''</ref> | |||
