Military Wilderness Training Preserve
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings The Military Wilderness Training Preserve was a large, wooded area in the Highland Mountains on the Planet Reach. This rocky mountain area was a place where the Spartan-II soldiers trained in a unit cohesion[1]. They were all given a piece of a map and decided to set up a meeting place. They made their way to an extraction point and were forced to disorient a squad of Marines in order to reach and then John-117 commandeered a Pelican dropship[2]. After this mission, Chief Petty Officer Mendez promoted John-117 to squad leader[3].
The preserve was apparently home to at least one pack of wolves, which Chief Mendez warned the Spartans about before deployment, as well as an unnamed species of an owl.
During the Battle of Reach, Spartan Red Team crashed in the forest after their Pelican was shot down. After taking numerous casualties and losing much of their equipment, the Spartans departed from the preserve on their mission. The forest was subsequently burned down during the partial glassing of Reach.
