Corbulo Academy of Military Science: Difference between revisions

During the opening days of the war circa [[2526]], [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI Section II]] kept the [[Covenant]] invasion secret from a large portion of the general population; this included Corbulo Academy's cadets and most of the school's personnel, although General Black was informed. As preparation for a possible attack, Black discreetly increased the readiness of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] garrison posted in the academy and authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures. Not long after, the school came under attack by the Covenant. Locally stationed Marines provided an initial defense of Corbulo Academy, with the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] supersoldiers [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]] and teams of Marine [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] later arriving to reinforce the academy's defense. Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack, scattering into the surrounding areas, and many fought against the Covenant in close combat.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=446967395342828&set=a.358715117501390.91320.352002748172627&type=3 Jenna Berman's Facebook wall]</ref>
