Nestled in the [[Highland Mountains]], Camp Hathcock was a top-level retreat; heads of state, VIPs, and top brass were the facility's normal occupants, along with a division of veteran, battle-hardened [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]].<ref name="for216">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 216''</ref>  
 
The inner compound of the facility was protected by encircling fences and razor wire. The outside of the facility was designed to look like a large wooden cabin. The inner walls of the camp were lined with [[Titanium-A armor]] plating and it contained bunkers and plush conference rooms that were hundreds of meters underground, beneath a mountain.{{Ref/Reuse|for216}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
It is likely that the camp is named after [[Wikipedia:Carlos Hathcock|Carlos Hathcock]], a legendary sniper from the Vietnam War.
*It is possible that the camp is named after Carlos Hathcock. He was a legendary sniper in the Vietnam War and he went on to help train future snipers at the first official scout/sniper school. Hathcock held the longest recorded sniper kill for more than thirty-five years before his mark was surpassed in 2002 by Canadian Corporals Arron Perry and Rob Furlong - Furlong breaking his teammate's record mere days later.
