==Service History==
===Initial Stages===
The CMUU had its genesis in , when former Colonel orchestrated a takeover of the , and the units placed there for security were quickly overrun by the rebels.
Realizing the units on colonies would have to play a larger role in combating the quickly growing , the publicly stated that companies could now take part in a bid to make a new uniform for the . The winning design was put forth by in late , and it was put into production and deployed in , first to militia units on colonies that were most affected by rebel activity, such as

The first combat use of the CMUU came on May 3rd, , when units were called in on to help contain a riot. During the riot, shots were fired at the militia, and three members were hit, with no wounds or fatalities, the shots having been stopped by Ushuaia's body armor. As a result, the stepped up efforts to equip all units with the body armor.
However, in the meantime, the sympathies of some members were beginning to show. Although it was not unheard of for members to desert with their armor, some militia supply officers in groups without a large amount of oversight began to "lose" sets of the CMUU, either giving them directly to the , or selling them on the black market to whoever would buy them.
Eventually, the discovered that the rebels were using the CMUU for their own purposes, and, through various sting operations, they were able to find from who and where the armor was coming from. Once it was discovered that the equipment was coming from units, the instituted stricter oversight and controls, making it harder for the to get the armor through the black market or without performing raids on stocks.

, as the erupted, the CMUU proved utterly ineffective and useless against the plasma weapons of the invaders. As a result, the almost completely stopped orders of the CMUU, only issuing it to units on core colonies such as , , and .
Meanwhile, in the , for various reasons, and due to a lack of oversight by the due to the threat of the , massive supplies of the CMUU were sold either by militia supply officers, or by the militiamen themselves, to the , who, for the first time since the beginning of the , began to equip a majority of their fighters with body armor, causing rebels to be more bold in their attacks.
The CMUU once again saw combat on the side of the in the late stages of the with the and . After the War, the remaining CMUU suits were sold to law enforcement or were kept by the militias, although the continued to use them for years to come.
