17th Armored Battalion
The 17th Armored Battalion was formed during the Human-Covenant War while the colony planet of Hera was under siege from Covenant forces. The 17th was deployed in the area and made considerable progress with what command would call "acceptable" casualties. It was during the Battle of Hera where the 17th gained their nickname "Hell on Wheels" and their motto "The Baddest Motherf***er's In The Valley!"

The 17th is made up of the following:

17th Armor Battalion "Hell on Wheels" - Major Chris Jaeger

Combat Record
The 17th has an impressive combat record with a large number of kills and a low number of casualties. However in their first combat experience the 17th tasted blood in its teeth. During the first moments of the battle brought on 25% casualties, afterwards the 17th countered and pulled through making considerable progress in the area.
