The [[Marines]], operating elsewhere, suffered minor casualties and easily accomplished their goals as well. However, the [[105th Drop Jet Platoon]] were slaughtered by a massive force of [[Grunt]]s. Blue Team swept through the area and avenged the platoon by killing hundreds of the Grunts involved in that operation. All of the Spartan teams accomplished their missions and returned safely to the remaining fleet in a [[Pelican dropship]]. | The [[Marines]], operating elsewhere, suffered minor casualties and easily accomplished their goals as well.
