The surviving Marines held off the enemy for more than an hour with [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]], [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpions]], and [[turret]]s.<ref name="chapter"/> Lieutenant [[Jake Chapman]], also known as Gamma 1, was ordered to send the majority of his force in an attempt to flank the enemy. Under attack, he called for air support. By the time [[Frederic-104]] and [[Red Team]] arrived, the forest they passed through had been leveled by UNSC bombers, and he assumed Buckman had been killed. In fact, Chapman and most of his men survived, and fell back to [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|Facility Alpha 331]] to join [[Gamma 5]]. En route, they attracted the attention of two Covenant armored divisions that began to attack the facility.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Part 2 - Spire|Spire radio conversation]]''</ref> The arrival of SPARTAN-II team [[Beta-Red|Beta Red]] held off the enemy long enough for Buckman to get his surviving men evacuated.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Part 4 - Countdown|Countdown radio conversation]]''</ref> | ||
A number of Marines were left behind by Chapman, and were later found by [[Joshua-029]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]], and the remaining Spartans. After telling Chief Petty Officer Frederic-104 about their battle, they were ordered to reach a rendezvous point in two Warthogs with the six wounded [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTANs]], forming [[Team Delta]]. They were separated from the rest of [[William-043]]'s team and lost contact. They are likely dead either by the Covenant, or from the eventual glassing of Reach. | A number of Marines were left behind by Chapman, and were later found by [[Joshua-029]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]], and the remaining Spartans.
