Reach
He and his squadron was dropped off at Sword base where he was in intense combat for nearly an half an hour protecting the base from Covenant Elite Special Forces. His team took a beating and was denied reinforcements during the conflict. After another 1/2 hour they finally pushed back the Covenant Elites.
