WINTER CONTINGENCY is an official UNSC emergency plan that deals with situation where Covenant forces became aware of, or are present at, a UNSC colony.[2] It was enacted by the UNSC on March 10, 2526.

Classification

Events which may be classified WINTER CONTINGENCY include:

  • Intercepted Covenant communications that refer to a UNSC Colony by name.
  • Discovery of hard physical evidence of Covenant activity.
  • Detection of multiple in-system Slipstream Space rupture events.
  • Engaged in combat by Covenant forces.

Trivia

  • The term WINTER CONTINGENCY is a report with the highest precedence in the OPREP-Γ reporting structure. All other reporting terms such as GOOSE CHASE, SNAKE PIT, et al, while very important, are considered secondary to a WINTER CONTINGENCY report.
