After the end of the war against the Covenant, the UNSC Marines participated in a number of engagements against the [[Covenant remnants]] and the [[Insurrectionist]]s.

When ''Infinity'' returned to Requiem in order to conquer the planet, Marines were once again dispatched in a joint campaign to reinforce the Spartans.
