ODST Air Assault units were developed in response to the challenges presented by operations in both the dense, vertically integrated urban environments and rugged frontier terrains of the [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] and [[Outer Colonies|Outer]] [[human colonies|Colonies]]. The Bullfrogs' specialized equipment and training allow them to traverse these difficult spaces with ease, using three-dimensional tactics to gain a combat advantage over enemy forces.

The Bullfrogs' specialized equipment and training allow them to traverse these difficult spaces with ease, using three-dimensional tactics to gain a combat advantage over enemy forces. Deploying from [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|insertion pods]] or [[Pelican|dropships]], units of Bullfrogs are equipped with jump-jet packs which enable quick, thruster-assisted travel through difficult terrains of metal, rock, and vegetation. Bullfrog tactical doctrines uses these jet packs to execute series of bounding jumps, called "bounces", to clear buildings and terrain features in order to "cut off enemy troops, disengage to move behind cover, and quickly secure objectives". Sustained flight using jet packs is also possible, although slow, clumsy, and not tactically useful.{{Ref/Reuse|LogofWar}} | ||
The Bullfrogs are part of the ODSTs' Special Purpose Forces, units of troopers whose additional training and equipment prepare them for unique and challenging combat scenarios. Bullfrog combat teams have been known to deploy with four or eight members. Like all ODST officers, ODST Air Assault team leaders are highly proficient, leading by example and through personal bravery. Committed to defeating the [[Covenant]] and protecting [[humanity]], they accept the dangerous nature of their mission. They are usually veterans, who strengthen their already formidable Bullfrog units with their resolve and firepower.{{Ref/Reuse|LogofWar}} | The Bullfrogs are part of the ODSTs' Special Purpose Forces, units of troopers whose additional training and equipment prepare them for unique and challenging combat scenarios.

Because of this, it is common for a player to have lost several members of his fireteam to falling by the end of the mission. Similarly, they often jump into large groups of Covenant forces and are quickly killed. | ||
