7th Shock Troops Battalion: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

During the [[Battle of Cleveland]] in [[2552#November|November 2552]], a squadron of [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|AV-14 Hornets]] provided a platform for shock troops to rescue civilian prisoners who were being held inside a stadium. They fastroped from the Hornets and dispatched the enemy forces within the stadium in seconds. Minutes later, infantry forces helped the shock troops eliminate ground forces occupying land in the [[Old Cleveland|older part of town]].

The 7th Battalion soon fought during the [[Battle of Installation 00|last battle]] of the Human-Covenant War. Unlike their previous excursions upon the Halo rings, the men and women of the 7th battalion would be exclusively used for airborne assaults. One such assault happened during a mission to destroy numerous[[ Anti-Aircraft Battery|anti-aircraft artillery platforms]] overlooking a desert sea. These AAA guns were destroyed by the shock troops, allowing the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} to successfully land near the [[Cartographer|cartographer building]]. <ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]''</ref> During the [[Battle of the Citadel|last battle]] of the Ark Campaign - the final battle of the war - shock troops were again airlifted into combat. This time, they punched holes in Covenant armored and artillery positions. <ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> They assisted MCPO John-117 and [[Sergeant Major|SgtMaj]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] in shutting down the [[Barrier Tower|shield generator stations]] protecting the Citadel; meanwhile, the [[Sangheili]] carrier ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' provided air cover, and distracted enemy forces from the joint Human-Sangheili offensive, by firing on the shield with its [[Plasma Torpedo|plasma torpedoes]]. After their primary objective was complete, allied forces proceeded to enter the citadel canyon with an armored push on the ground, consisting of human and Sangheili infantry forces and [[M808B Main Battle Tank|M808B Scorpions]], covered by AV-14 Hornets in the air.
