===Covenant assault===

During the Battle of Voi, Crow's Nest was used as a command base for the UNSC forces in the immediate area, which included those from Tsavo, Mombasa, and [[Arusha]].<ref name="crow"/> Many wounded [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]]s that survived encounters with [[Covenant]] patrols were sent to the base for medical treatment. The able-bodied soldiers at the base were organized into fireteams that were spread throughout the base. When [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]], [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] arrived at the base on November 17, 2552, [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]] briefed them, along with the command staff, about a low-level assault on [[Covenant]] warships stationed over the [[Portal at Voi]]. Hood was interrupted when the base's communications were hacked and a transmission from the [[Prophet of Truth]] played, declaring that humanity was doomed to destruction. At the conclusion of his message, the forces at the base mobilized to defend it, anticipating an imminent attack from the Covenant. It wasn't long until the decision was made to evacuate the facility, as well as to destroy it in the process with a bomb. Having successfully destroyed the facility and denied it to the Covenant, the survivors left in [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]]s and [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]]s. While the majority of the base was utterly destroyed, the motor pool and cave leading to it from Tsavo Highway, along with some outer hangars, remained intact.
