Template:Ratings Template:Infobox Military Unit The 11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST (abbreviated as either '11th Force Recon' or '11th ODST') is an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper unit that was deployed along with the Template:UNSCship during Operation: BLIND FAITH. They were tasked with the collection of Covenant and Forerunner intelligence and matériel.[1]
At the Battle of Installation 00, troopers of the 11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST were deployed to the surface of the Ark to destroy an array of Covenant anti-aircraft artillery platforms that were overlooking a desert sea. The destruction of these emplacements allowed the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn to land near the cartographer building.[2]
During the Battle of the Citadel - the final battle of the war - shock troops of the 11th MFR punched holes in Covenant armored and artillery positions. [3] They assisted SPARTAN John-117 and Sergeant Major Avery Johnson in shutting down the shield generator stations protecting the Citadel; meanwhile, the Sangheili carrier Shadow of Intent provided air cover and distracted enemy forces from the joint Human-Sangheili offensive, by firing on the shield with its plasma torpedoes. After their primary objective was complete, allied forces proceeded to enter the citadel canyon with an armored push on the ground, consisting of human and Sangheili infantry forces and M808B Main Battle Tanks, covered by AV-14 Hornets in the air.
The 11th ODST were known to have operated during the Fall of Reach. At the time Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck was deployed with the unit. GySgt. Buck and his troopers were operating in New Alexandria but to what extent is classified.[4]
