-The '''Colonial Militia''' is a branch of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force|Defense Force]].<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> Tasked with safeguarding colonies when conventional UNSC Forces are not present, and possibly to act as support and scout units. A colony's militia forces are trained by the UNSC under the [[Colonial Militia Training|Colonial Militia Training Program]].
+{{Article quote|READY FOR ANYTHING}}
+The '''Colonial Militia''' is a collection of defensive paramilitary forces trained and overseen by the [[United Nations Space Command]] - as an armed forces component - on [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Human colonies|colony worlds]]. They fall under [[Unified Ground Command]] authority.<ref name="fb">'''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]''', ''Core Rulebook - page 6''</ref> They are tasked with safeguarding colonies when conventional UNSC forces are not present, and possibly to act as support and scout units. A colony's militia forces are trained by the UNSC under the [[Colonial Militia Training|Colonial Militia Training program]].<ref name="H:CH">'''Halo: Contact Harvest'''</ref>
 ==Role==
-Often trained and raised by non-commissioned officers in the UNSC, the Colonial Militia is comprised of citizens trained to provide defense, and emergency services and to serve as a potential paramilitary force. Often, militia members would later join the UNSC as enlisted soldiers, such was the case as [[Wallace Jenkins]].

+==Operational history==
-The [[Harvest Militia|Colonial Militia troops]] of the planet [[Harvest]] were among the first [[human]]s to make contact with the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], following a [[Harvest Skirmish|secret operation]] in orbit above the planet. They were trained and commanded by [[Captain (Marine Corps)|Captain]] [[Ponder]] and [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]]. Despite their attempts to defend Harvest, the planet was ultimately [[Glassing|glassed]] and nearly half of the Militia's seventy-two members were killed.

+During the [[Battle for Earth]], the Colonial Militia took part in the [[Battle of Mombasa]] with little success.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level, ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref> For the purposes of civilian morale, the [[New Mombasa Police Department]]'s [[Stephen (Mombasa)|public service announcer]] broadcast [[propaganda]] touting largely-imaginary, exaggerated militia 'victories'.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref>
+Despite the existence of the official UEG-backed Colonial Militia, unofficial and criminal local militias continued to operate in UEG territory into the Human-Covenant War, with the [[Reach militia]] eventually aiding UNSC forces during the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref>
