Template:Infobox Military Unit Template:Article Quote The Second Platoon was a Colonial Militia unit of Harvest.

Background

The platoon was stationed close to the cities of Utgard and Gladsheim on Harvest.[1] Second Platoon was led by Staff Sergeant Nolan Byrne.

History

On December 23, 2524, the Harvest Militia began training for recruits, in order to handle internal security operations against the Insurrectionists, who were causing instability across UNSC-controlled space with terrorist attacks aimed at civilians. There were two platoons established; First Platoon and second platoon. Each platoon had been split into three squads, with twelve recruits in each.

The recruits of Second and First platoon were trained for approximately three months when on February 9th, 2525, they "graduated" from the Colonial Militia Training and were shown footage of the battle between their squad leaders against a group Covenant. Two days later, a pack of Brutes from the Covenant arrived in a diplomatic meeting, in which the recruits provided security. However, a fight ensued, and a member of First platoon was killed in the fighting.

On the 22nd, the platoons were stationed in Utgard while Staff Sergeants Johnson and Bryne were sent to a civilian convoy to assist the survivors; they were too late, and only managed to rescue one civilian.

The next day, the platoons split to perform two operations. The first, led by Johnson, was a volunteer operation to secure the Tiara platform to ensure civilians evacuating in the cargo freighters escape safely. While they succeeded, seven recruits were killed in the fighting. On the ground, Bryne led Second platoon and the remainders of First platoon to defend Mack's data center. However, they were attacked by a group of Brute Choppers, killing three members of Second platoon.

The fate of the surviving members is unknown, though it is presumed they joined the UNSC Marine Corps during the Human-Covenant War.
