In 2155, Commander Jonathan Archer was able to convince Major Malcolm Reed, the commanding officer of the MACO detachment and co-inventor of the agony booth, to back his mutiny against Captain Forrest so Enterprise could be diverted to Tholian space. Like Forrest, Archer then also chose a MACO as his personal guard, in this case Sergeant Travis Mayweather. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly") Sergeant Mayweather was also instrumental in Hoshi Sato's betrayal of Archer and takeover of Defiant, an act which culminated in her declaring herself Empress.
