The date of the attack, July 3, appears to have been overlooked. But July 3, 1863 was the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg. On this day, the Confederates launched the famed, yet ill-fated, charge (Pickett's Charge) on the Union lines, with many of the Confederates slaughtered in the attack. It doesnt seem coincidental that the day of the Spartan III charge was also July 3.

- According to the book, 300 were sent, but 9 were killed in the landing before the operation began. -ED 02:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Core overload
Is it possible that the overload could have killed Spartans that might have survived, since the blast was extremely large and powerful. This could mean that the extreme losses were only partially due to the "hidden" covenant cruisers and also Team Foxtrot's fault since they didn't warn any other possible survivors that the core was detonating.
