History
In May 2153, the High Command ordered Subcommander T'Pol (via Ambassador Soval) to return to Vulcan rather than join Enterprise on its mission into the Delphic Expanse. T'Pol resigned her commission rather than obey. (ENT: "The Expanse")
In 2154, V'Las, the head of the High Command, planned to attack Andoria, believing that they were developing a planet killer based on Xindi technology. (ENT: "Awakening") Following that incident, V'Las' High Command was disbanded, ending their diplomatic influence of Earth's decisions. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
Later that year, T'Pau replaced V'Las as head minister of the Vulcan people. She actively began to disband Vulcan's military structure, including many of its warships. Those that remained in service no longer had full crew complements. During the incident with the Romulan drone-ship, T'Pau was only able to dispatch 23 vessels to add to the combined Andorian-Human-Tellarite intercept fleet. (ENT: "United")

Federation-era history
By the 23rd and 24th centuries, the High Command of Vulcan would fill a very different role, as the planet was a Federation member. (VOY: "Infinite Regress")
Vulcan Space Central was maintained by the High Command that oversaw all incoming and outgoing ship activity near Vulcan. (TOS: "Amok Time")
The Command would continue to help maintain Vulcan security and defense, as well as other internal matters, including the V'Shar. (TNG: "Gambit, Part II", "Unification II")
In 2367, the High Command dispatched defense vessels to intercept the Romulan invasion fleet of Vulcan. (TNG: "Unification, Part II")
