Colonial Military Administration (CC)

The Colonial Military Administration (CMA) was formed in 2310 as the colonial peacekeeping force acting on behalf of the . After being reorganized after the end of the Human Covenant War, the CMA took up several new responsibilities in order to ensure security on not only human worlds, but those of the former Covenant species as well. These tasks include anti-piracy, counter-terrorist, foreign aid, and general peacekeeping operations.

==Organization==
===Rank Structure===
The CMA followed a unique, universal rank structure that differed quite a bit from the rank structures of the various UNSC branches.
===Unit Structure===
===Rapid Reaction Forces===
The Rapid Reaction Forces were small, flexible, special operations-capable units first established during the Insurrection. Formed due to a growing need to respond to attacks and bombings quickly, the Rapid Reaction Forces were drawn from regulars in the CMA's ground forces. After the Human-Covenant War, they were primarily utilized for anti-piracy and counter-terrorist operations, but were also present alongside regulars during peacekeeping operations. They were also often deployed as foreign advisers.

===Weapons===
The majority of the CMA's weaponry were hand-me-downs from other UNSC branches, and thus were relatively outdated. To counter this, the CMA often purchased weapon modifications for its arsenal, resulting in a relatively unorthodox armaments.

==Personnel==
===Pre-Covenant War===
Prior to the Human-Covenant War, the CMA's personnel were taken mostly from colonial worlds with only rudimentary background checks prior to recruits being shipped off for training. This resulted in it being very easy for Insurrectionists or those with Insurrectionist sympathies to join the CMA, causing major trouble for the UNSC during the Insurrection. Despite this, there were still plenty of CMA personnel who took their jobs seriously and devoted themselves to the defense of the colonies, but their contributions were often overlooked by historians and researchers.
===Post-Covenant War===
After the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC recognized the need to reform the CMA. So, strict background checks were placed on those entering service to prevent those who would wish to harm CMA or UNSC activities from enlisting. However, the CMA often played loose with its hiring of mercenaries, often employing known ex-Insurrectionists. While this ultimately caused very little trouble, it was certainly a poor example that the struggling CMA set.
