| [[File:Highlands05.jpg|thumb|250px|A Spartan training facility within the preserve.]] | | Large, wooded area on the Planet [[Reach]]. This rocky mountain area was a place where the [[Spartan]] soldiers trained in teamwork. They were each given a piece of a map and decided to set up a meeting place. They made their way to an extraction point and were forced to disorient a squad of [[Marines]] in order to comandeer a [[Pelican]] dropship. After this mission, [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez]] promoted [[Master Chief|John-117]] to squad commander. |
| The '''Military Wilderness Training Preserve''' was a large, wooded area in the [[Highland Mountains]] on the planet [[Reach]]. It was the location of many UNSC military facilities, including those where the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers often trained. [[Longhorn Valley]] and the [[Big Horn River]] were also located within the preserve.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The preserve was apparently home to at least one pack of [[wolves]], which [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Franklin Mendez]] warned John-117 about before deployment, however it is possible he was attempting to forewarn John-117 about unforeseen dangers, like the marines. In addition the preserve is home to an unnamed species of an owl.
| |
| *The multiplayer map [[Highlands]] is set in a training facility in this region.
