Jared Miller: "Fireteam Lancer, sitrep?"

Terry Hedge: "Found a nest of Covies hiding in the caves. Wouldn’t mind a hand clearing ‘em out."

Sarah Palmer: "Good find, Lancer. Crimson’s happy to help."

— Miller, Terry Hedge and Sarah Palmer discussing Fireteam Lancer's discovery.

The Assault on the Warrens was an assault conducted by UNSC forces during the Requiem Campaign on a Covenant base in the location known as the "Warrens."

Prelude

While on a mission to investigate a Covenant archeological dig site, Fireteam Switchback disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only their blank IFF tags. Unknown to the UNSC, Switchback had been captured by the Covenant and taken to the "Warrens" aside from team leader Cara Costabile who had been killed by the Covenant. Switchback eventually managed to begin broadcasting a Morse code SOS over Covenant frequencies in the hopes of being found and rescued.

While Fireteam Crimson was on a mission in "Apex," which was located close to the "Warrens," Spartan Jared Miller detected Switchback's SOS briefly before the signal disappeared. As the Covenant didn't use Morse code, Miller realized that something was up and promised to keep an eye out for the signal again. Soon after, Crimson was deployed to help Fireteam Lancer clear out the Covenant base located in the "Warrens."
