==Operational history== | |||
===Fall of Reach=== | |||
During the [[Fall of Reach]], two Longswords were launched against a Covenant {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} to [[First Battle of Sword Base|protect]] [[Sword Base]]. The Longswords pushed the corvette away from the base far enough for a Super MAC round fired from orbit to take it out.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[ONI: Sword Base]]}} Longswords also participated in the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]] after [[SPARTAN-B312]] took out two Covenant [[Type-38 Tyrant|anti-aircraft emplacements]], clearing the way for air support. The Longswords were able to destroy three [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarabs]], opening the path for the UNSC's ground assault force.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[Tip of the Spear]]}} | |||
