The 7th Battalion served during the [[Fall of Reach]] in summer 2552.

On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], members of the 7th Battalion assigned to the [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCship|In Amber Clad}} were deployed to the [[Kenya]]n city of [[Mombasa]] in an attempt to board the ''[[Solemn Penance]]''. A [[D77-TC Pelican]] carrying part of this strike team was shot down by a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab assault platform]] in [[Old Mombasa|the city's older district]], forcing the surviving occupants to take cover in the nearby [[Hotel Zanzibar]]. They were soon rescued by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and assisted in the Spartan's destruction of the Scarab.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> | |||

On [[2552#November|November 2]], after ''In Amber Clad'' arrived at [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 05]] in pursuit of Regret's flagship, members of [[First Platoon (ODST)|First Platoon]] of an unidentified company were deployed to the surface of the installation to capture the Prophet. After securing a landing zone on a remote island, some of the remaining members of First Platoon escorted John-117 as the Spartan moved toward the Prophet's location. Though the Spartan successfully assassinated the Prophet of Regret, the ODSTs were killed en route to the target. | |||

Over the next two days, most of ''In Amber Clad'''s 7th Battalion contingent were killed by either the Covenant or [[the Flood]]. However, it is possible that some escaped back to Earth with the assistance of their newfound [[Sangheili]] allies, as did [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref> | |||
