- Staff Sergeant Michael Kelly on his work in 1st Battalion, 105th ODST Division

Honorary Staff Sergeant Michael Kelly of the 105th ODST Division, 1st Rescue and Recovery Battalion, is a highly regarded and incredibly skilled soldier, having served in the UNSC for 27 years. Opting into military service at an age of 17 years, Kelly served two years in the UNSC Marine Corp before switching into the ranks of the ODST. There he rotated around several battalions, including the infamous 7th Shock Troops, before joining the 1st R&R.

Originally a Corporal, Kelly was asked by the ONI to run several black operations, resulting in an honorary promotion to Staff Sergeant, allowing him control of his own ten man squad. Kelly has since returned to his home in the 1st R&R, but occassionally consults for ONI when he is not in the field.
