Unfortunately, ten soldiers were picked off during insertion by [[Covenant cruiser|Covenant Cruisers]] in low orbit, and two more were killed in landing accidents.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 127''</ref> Sedavian landed far away from most of the ODSTs and until he arrived, a Marine Fireteam Leader named [[Rahud]] took command. Under Rahud's command, the ODSTs were able to regroup and take the Covenant base with no casualties. | ||
