Oly Oly Oxen Free is a six-note tone used as an all clear code by the SPARTAN IIs. They had learned it from Deja when they were younger, and had used it ever since they first trained on Reach.

Psychology

Oly Oly Oxen Free was very secret to the Spartans- no one but them and a select few outsiders knew it.

Uses

Oly Oly Oxen Free was used on numerous occasions throughout Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike. Some of the times it was used are:
