At least in the movie they quite literally fought for Gondor. In the books, they just kill some corsairs far away from Minas Tirth.
They don't even kill them, they just scare them off their boats using 'fear as a weapon'.
Idle thought, not fully staffed: kinda turns the whole "you cannot use the tools of the Enemy, as they are evil in and of themselves and will bring even the most noble low" vibe of the books on its head.
Or, at least, I seem to recall passages to the effect of fear being one of Sauron's chief weapons. Could probably find a lit crit essay on this subject if I went digging.
His chief weapon was surprise, iirc. That's all, just surprise.
And their fanatical devotion to the Pope.
