105th Shock Troops Division
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Infobox Military Unit The 105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division is a UNSC Marine Corps ODST unit. It is highly regarded as one of the best Marine divisions in the UNSC Defense Force.
Background
Members of the 105th possessed exceptional esprit de corps and immense pride in their unit, reflected by the customary tattoo each received. Their motto, "Feet First Into Hell", coupled with their employment of Human Entry Vehicles, earned them the nickname of "Helljumpers".
The 105th was infamous for its brutality, even toward fellow human troops. On one occasion, ODSTs from the 105th were involved in a fight with SPARTAN-117, resulting in two ODST deaths.[1]
History
The 105th was around as early as 2525. Detachments of the Marines have been on a number of ships, including the UNSC Atlas. In 2552 Subordinate Units of the 105th were stationed on the Pillar of Autumn and fought in the Battle of Installation 04. The unit was the 22nd ODST Battalion, which was instrumental in frusturating Covenant attemps to purge the Halo of humans. Other sub-units of the 105th were stationed on the In Amber Clad and participated on the Battle of Installation 05.
