On [[2525|February 11, 2525]], the militia was assembled at the [[Harvest Botanical Gardens]], outside of [[Utgard]]. They were to provide security for Harvest's diplomats during the first meeting between the [[Covenant]] [[Jiralhanae|representatives]] and the humans. However the meeting ended badly when an [[Yull|Unggoy]] became overeager and killed one of the militia members, [[Osmo]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 257''</ref> On February 22, 2525, the militia provided security for the thousands of Harvest's refugees at Utgard's Maglev terminal. Staff Sergeants [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne|Byrne]] led several militia members into the small town of [[Gladsheim]] to escort its residents to Utgard. However, most of the town's residents were killed by attacking [[Yanme'e]] and [[Jiralhanae]], with only one civilian survivor.

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 began 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. During the same time period on the ground, Byrne and 2nd Platoon, along with anyone from 1st Platoon who did not volunteer with Johnson, defended the [[AI]] [[Mack]]'s data center. Three Jiralhanae [[Type-25 Chopper|Choppers]] attacked, but they were all destroyed and three members were killed, two at the hands of [[Vorenus]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 361''</ref> | As the battle on Harvest progressed, the militia split to perform two operations.
