The group was likely  engaged in combat with the [[Covenant]] in the First and [[Second Battle of Earth]], as the video's visible factual text says the group only has 2 ships out of 8 remaining. The group requested rearmament since it's readiness level was critical. [[Misriah]] armory factories on [[Mars]] then were shown mass producing equipment for the Battle Group, which likely not only uses its ships for space combat, but also assists [[Marines]] in ground engagements since the production of Marine vehicles ([[Warthogs]] and [[Pelicans]]) and weapons ([[Sniper Rifles]], [[Battle Rifles]], and [[M6D Magnum Sidearm]]s) are shown.

Specifically, the Marine unit (of unknown size) called [[S4/BAG/2/5]] could be assigned to the Battle Group, as it is seen in the video. The Marines themselves are seen in the trailer preparing for combat, and at least one, ([[Benjamin M. Nunez]]), is not a recruit, though the other Marine(s) pictured likely are.
