The '''77th Marine Regiment''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] infantry unit that fought against the [[Covenant Loyalists]] during the [[Second Battle of Mombasa]], under the command of [[John-117]]. It is depicted in the "[[Believe]]" marketing campaign for ''[[Halo 3]]''.<ref name="believe">'''[[Believe]]'''</ref>

|[[Major]] Pawel Czernek, who was active for 30 years in the UNSC from [[2551]] to [[2581]], was one of the few surviving combatants who fought in The Battle of New Mombasa, was interviewed in a documentary circa the turn of the 27th century at the [[Museum of Humanity]]. He related his role in the battle while examining a diorama of the battle - he manned an overturned [[Warthog]]'s turret - and described the morale Master Chief engendered during the battle ("We knew Master Chief was in the fight. He gave us hope.") The elderly Major Czernek wears a prosthetic metal right leg; it is unclear where or when he suffered that traumatic injury.<ref name="museum">'''Believe''': ''[[Museum]]''</ref>
