Special Warfare Center

The Special Warfare Center (or SWC) in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, United Korea, is a testing ground and training facility for the United Nations Space Command.

History

Korean conflict

Throughout the later years of the 20th century and into the 21st century, the 707th Special Mission Battalion of the Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command was garrisoned on or near the present day location of the SWC in Seongnam. Known as the "White Tigers," the 707th SMB was Korea's premier tier-one counter-terrorist, quick reaction, hostage rescue, and unconventional unit.

MJOLNIR testing

The SWC is one of the main MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor testing facilities on Earth. There is a desert-like area with buildings and captured Covenant vehicles to give the training area a more realistic appearance. There is also a possibility that the armor itself was constructed there due to the fall of ONI facilities on Reach.

Maria-062 first tested the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor at this location.
