| ==Biography== | | ==Biography== |
| During the [[Fall of Reach]], Buckman shared command of [[Charlie Company]] with [[First Lieutenant]] [[Jake Chapman]], commanding the sub-unit [[Gamma 5]]. On August 30, Buckman and Chapman ordered a carpet bombing by numerous [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] to eliminate the Covenant forces attacking [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|ODG A-331]]. The attack was poorly targeted, leaving a large part of the company dead.{{Ref/Reuse|FS}} After the incident, only four members remained at Generator A-331, while Buckman and parts of Gamma 5 proceeded to defend [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|ODG A-412]].
| | Buckman was sharing command of [[Charlie Company]] with [[First Lieutenant|1st Lt]] [[Jake Chapman]] during the [[First Battle of Reach]]. He was killed, along with all but four members of Charlie Company and [[Covenant]] troops <ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 22</ref>, due to a carpet bombing by numerous [[C709 Longsword-class Interceptors]] that had been poorly targeted, ironically, on his own orders, creating a massive friendly fire accident. |

| After A-412 was overrun as well, Buckman and Gamma 5 regrouped with [[Gamma 1]]. [[Beta-Red|Beta Red]] bought them some time by stalling a massive Covenant ground force. Buckman and Gamma 5, along with Chapman and Gamma 1, retreated and headed for a temporary evac station.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Boardwalk radio conversation''</ref> Just then, three [[Covenant cruiser]]s appeared over them, headed towards Beta Red's position. The {{UNSCShip|Majestic}} was called in to perform a MAC strike on the cruisers, despite Beta Red, Gamma 1 and Gamma 5 being in the splash zone. Though the status of the rest of their units is unknown, Chapman and Buckman survived the blast.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Reflection radio conversation''</ref>
