===NAVCOM/UNICOM control===

After contact was lost with [[Harvest]], the CMA sent the scout ship [[CMA Argo|''Argo'']] to investigate. A CMA-controlled [[Battlegroup 4]] then followed the ''Argo'' when the latter failed to report for six months. Once the existence of the [[~~Covenant Empire|~~Covenant]] was made known, all CMA combat forces were placed under NAVCOM or UNICOM control "for the duration of the crisis". This reassignment essentially became permanent as the [[Human-Covenant War]] dragged on, and by [[2552]], the Colonial Military Administration was little more than a fleet of navigational buoy tenders and remote fuel depots manned by wounded veterans and those unfit for combat service.
