During the [[Battle of Mesra]] in mid-[[2526]], the [[Militia of Mesra]] used Anacondas in a limited ground bombardment capacity, using missile batteries stationed in the [[Karpos Mountain Range]] to strike down at advancing [[Covenant]] armoured columns advancing on the [[Doukala mine]]. The bombardment was mildly effective, due to the missiles not being designed for such a usage.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=3}} They were later used by forces of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]], and [[Battle of Trove]], used as mountings on the Talos base turrets deployed as a defensive measure on UNSC firebases.{{Ref/Game|HW|Base turret in-game building}} | |||
During the [[Fall of Reach]], [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Team Alpha]] recovered a crate from [[HIGHCOM Armory Omega]] that contained six Anaconda surface-to-air missiles and a pair of [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon]]s.{{Ref/Novel|HFS|Chapter=3}} In [[2559#October|October 2559]] Anaconda missile batteries were used by the [[Viery Militia]] during [[Operation: WOLFE]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR16|HSoR|Chapter=16}} | |||
