The '''11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST''' is an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] unit that was deployed along with the {{UNSCship|Forward Unto Dawn}} during [[Operation: BLIND FAITH]]. They were tasked with the collection of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and [[Forerunner]] intelligence and matériel.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''</ref>


The '''11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST''' ('''11th MFR/ODST'''), simply known as the '''11th Recon''', is a [[battalion]] of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]],<ref name="hss51">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', p. 51</ref> a [[special operations]] capable reconnaissance force of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc59}}
During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], troopers of the 11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST were deployed to the surface of the Ark to destroy an array of Covenant [[Anti-Aircraft Battery|anti-aircraft artillery platforms]] that were overlooking a desert sea. The destruction of these emplacements allowed the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} to land near the [[Cartographer|cartographer building]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]]''</ref>


==History==
During the [[Battle of the Citadel]] - the final battle of the war - shock troops of the 11th MFR punched holes in Covenant armored and artillery positions. <ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> They assisted [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] John-117 and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery 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]]es. 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]]s, covered by [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|AV-14 Hornets]] in the air.
During the early stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the 11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST battalion was stationed on [[Neos Atlantis]], before they were deployed to engage the emerging [[Covenant]] threat in the [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|hss51}}


During the [[Battle for Earth]] in [[2552#November|November 2552]], elements of the unit were assigned to {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} shortly before she joined the [[Fleet of Retribution]] for [[Installation 00]] via the [[Portal at Voi]]. The 11th MFR/ODST was tasked with collecting Covenant and [[Forerunner]] intelligence and matériel during [[Battle of Installation 00#Operation: BLIND FAITH|Operation: BLIND FAITH]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc59}}
