| On February 22, 2525, the platoons were stationed in [[Utgard]] while [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne|Byrne]] and both platoons were sent to prevent the Covenant attack on [[Gladsheim]], except for both Charlie Squads.

| 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 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.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 371''</ref>
