Operations conducted by the UNSC on Reach are under strict ONI security classification, classified to other UNSC personnel regardless of rank or position. Terrestrial and orbital operations were complicated by the presence of unaffiliated local civilians, contractors of the Unified Earth Government, and unlicensed [[Kig-Yar]] [[Salvaging|salvagers]]. While specific strategic objectives were classified, Spartans with experience and a background in [[combat engineer]]ing and covert action were asked to report to ONI for screening and assessment for a mission to Reach. It was rumored that ONI intended to dispatch [[Spartan-IV]]s to search CASTLE Base under Menachite Mountain for an unspecified object.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm94}}
