A massive UNSC strike force stormed the Viery plains towards the Covenant-occupied site, attempting to reclaim the land and eliminate all Covenant presence from Reach. The entire assault force was mechanized, as the lack of available cover on the plains prohibited an infantry assault. The UNSC thus resolved to close the distance with the Covenant and engage in an armored battle at close quarters. An advance wave of [[M12 Warthog LRV|Warthogs]], backed up by [[M808 Scorpion|Scorpion tanks]], as well as [[M274 Mongoose|Mongooses]], formed the ground component of the attack. Air support was provided by a mixture of [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcons]] and [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]].  [[SPARTAN-B312|Six]] and [[Kat-B320]] led the ground attack, while [[Jorge-052]] and [[Carter-A259]] coordinated air support.
