== Operational History ==
The 105th Drop Jet Platoon saw action against the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Army|Army]] during the [[Battle of Jericho VII]] in [[2535|February 2535]] where it was overrun and obliterated by a force of a thousand [[Unggoy]].
 
The unit's annihilation would later be avenged when the offending [[Unggoy]] were eliminated by [[SPARTAN-II]]s, led by [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], in the continued skirmishes of [[Jericho VII]].

===Battle of Jericho VII===
*As platoons are not given permanent numerical designations, it is likely that the 105th was in fact the "105th's drop jet platoon", although a division would reasonably have more than one such unit.
The 105th Drop Jet Platoon saw action against the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] ground forces during the [[Battle of Jericho VII]] in [[2535|February 2535]] where it was overrun and obliterated by a force of around a thousand [[Unggoy]]. The unit's annihilation would later be avenged when the offending Unggoy were eliminated by [[SPARTAN-II]]s, led by [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], in the continued skirmishes of [[Jericho VII]].{{Ref/Reuse|HTFORP}}
*Although it is generally assumed that the 105th Drop Jet Platoon was an ODST unit due to its title, there is no evidence that they were ODSTs. They could have been parachutists equipped with [[parafoil]]s instead. This is supported by the fact that the [[UNSC Army]], and apparently the Marine Corps, field airborne units.<ref>'''[[Art of Halo]]''', ''page 60''</ref>
