Stark]] of the 19th Battalion, an acquaintance or relative of Tarkov, was [[killed in action]]. Tarkov attended Stark's funeral and afterward volunteered to be an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He then went through a series of brutal training exercises, including live ammunition combat crawls through mud, to prepare him for combat. Tarkov was then assigned to the 19th Battalion.{{Ref/Reuse|The Life}} | ||

During one of his first combat deployments, Tarkov [[ | During one of his first combat deployments, Tarkov [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle#Re-entry|dropped]] onto an unknown planet amongst other members of his [[battalion]] and immediately engaged [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces. Several [[lance]]s of [[Jiralhanae]] soldiers were present along with Covenant style tank traps at the landing zone, with multiple [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] providing close air support. | ||
A [[Jiralhanae Minor]] struck Tarkov while the latter was moving up the line, knocking off his helmet and inflicting deep gashes in his face, simultaneously throwing him into a mud puddle. Tarkov vainly fired his pistol at the Brute as it moved forward to make the killing blow. However, a severely damaged Banshee crashed into the Brute's back, killing it and saving Tarkov's life. | A [[Jiralhanae Minor]] struck Tarkov while the latter was moving up the line, knocking off his helmet and inflicting deep gashes in his face, simultaneously throwing him into a mud puddle.

Tarkov's surname, as well as the fact that Stark's funeral detail and Tarkov's trainers spoke [[Hungarian]], may suggest that Tarkov is a native of [[Reach]]. This is likely, as many of Reach's early settlers were from Eastern Europe, particularly Hungary, which influenced the names of many locations and even animal species on the planet. | Tarkov's surname, as well as the fact that Stark's funeral detail and Tarkov's trainers spoke [[Hungarian]], may suggest that Tarkov is a native of [[Reach]].
