The Colonial Militia of Harvest was at first created to handle internal security operations on Harvest in the wake of the Insurrection, but would later be distinguished as the first UNSC force to encounter the Covenant.
Background and History
The Harvest militia operated officially four times, between January 2nd (when it was formed) and February 23rd:
- The first was when they provided security for Harvests' diplomats during the first human-Covenant meeting on February 11th, 2525. The Covenant forces present staged an ambush, however, and after several minutes of fighting, the militia suffered one casualty.
- One February 22nd, 2525, the militia provided security for the thousands of Harvest's refugees at Utgard's maglev terminal. Staff Sergeants Johnson and Bryne eventually took a Warthog to assist a civilian convoy heading into the city, but they were too late, and managed only to save one. In the process, however, they helped destroy a Covenant Spirit dropship.
- On the 23rd, the militia split to perform two operations. The first, led by Johnson, was a volunteer operation to secure the spaceborne Tiara platform to ensure civilians evacuating in cargo freighters would safely leave the planet. The operation was sucessful at the cost of 7 recruits' lives. During the same time period on the ground, Bryne and 2nd platoon, along with anyone from 1st platoon who didn't volunteer with Johnson, defended Mack's data center. Three Brute Choppers attacked, but they were all destroyed and three Marines were presumably KIA.
After doing as much as they could, the Colonial Militia of Harvest evacuated the planet along with civilians. At least two members of the militia eventually transferred to the UNSC Marine Corps
Militiamen
The Harvest militia was comprised of 72 recruits. About half of them were members of Harvest's police force and emergency services, but most of these men were 40-50 years old. The other half of the militia was generally comprised of young men who had worked on Harvest's farms.
The militia was divided into two platoons of 36 men each. These platoons were then divided into three squads of 12 men each, named Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Below is a list of the known men in the militia.
