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 name="The Life"/> | ||
===Combat=== | ===Combat=== | ||
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 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|Brute 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.

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
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]].
