Mars Campaign
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Battle Infobox The Argyre Planitia Campaign was a military campaign undertaken by United Nations force against human rebel forces on the planet Mars in December 2163.[1] The Argyre Planitia Campaign marked the beginnings of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), and the dedicated usage of large forces of Marines in space-to-ground attacks.
Background
In a conflict that stemmed from the Rain Forest Wars, the three primary Earth factions clashed again, this time on Mars.[1] A series of lightning strikes against Koslovic forces near the Argyre Planitia marks the first extra-terrestrial deployment of Marines. The campaign was an unquestionable success. As a result, future military doctrines will favor large contingents of Marines for ground assaults and ship-boarding actions.
