During the Battle of | During the Battle of Kenya, 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 [[Attack on Crow's Nest|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. | ||
