The CMA Navy spent most of its life in service in only a limited military role. Its day-to-day functions throughout the 24th and 25th centuries included search-and-rescue, anti-smuggling and anti-piracy and trade restriction enforcement. Unlike their [[UNSC Navy|counterparts]] in the [[United Nations Space Command]], the CMA Navy held little connection to the [[CMA Marine Corps]] leading to the CMA's fleet largely consisting of ships unsuitable for conducting joint-operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22CMA}} Despite this, they did operate a handful of larger [[carrier]] classes such as the gargantuan [[Punic-class supercarrier|''Punic''-class]] Space Control Vehicles, which were able to support large CMA expeditionary campaigns for months at a time across the [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=126}}

As the CMA as an organisation collapsed to internal rot in the years during and prior to the [[Insurrection]], the CMA Navy's role was reduced in scope by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and eventually relegated to posting the most distant Outer Colonies and providing logistical support to the growing UNSC Navy.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22CMA}} In [[2525]], the CMA Navy's [[Battle Group 4]] was the first [[battle group]] of ships to arrive at [[Harvest]] following the planet's loss of communications earlier in the year. The small task force found themselves facing the {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}} ''[[Heaven's Brilliant Bier]]'', and were swiftly destroyed - the first major [[Space warfare|space battle]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Of the three ships that comprised the battle group, only the destroyer {{CMAShip|Heracles}} was able to escape the [[First Battle of Harvest|battle]], limping back to [[Reach]] to inform the UNSC of the destruction.{{Ref/Game|HW|[[Halo Wars Timeline Events|Timeline Events]]}}

Over time, many of the CMA Navy's larger assets and personnel were absorbed by the UNSC Navy and by [[2547]] the UNSC's operational scope had expanded to include the entirety of [[Human colonies|human space]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=52}} As of the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the CMA Navy are considered little more than managers of small navigational buoys and remote fuel depots.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22CMA}}
