During the Fall of Reach, Charlie Company was ordered by [[Admiral Whitcomb]] to get the [[Nova]] bombs, weapons so powerful that they could turn the tides in space battles and had enough explosive energy to destroy whole planets.<ref name="chapter">'''Halo: First Strike''', "Chapters 1-3"</ref> However, they were attacked by the Covenant before they could use the bombs.

Under attack, he called for air support. By the time [[Frederic-104]] and [[Red Team]] arrived, the forest they passed through had been leveled by UNSC bombers, and he assumed Buckman had been killed. In fact, Chapman and most of his men survived, and fell back to [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|Facility Alpha 331]] to join [[Gamma 5]]. En route, they attracted the attention of two Covenant armored divisions that began to attack the facility.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Part 2 - Spire|Spire radio conversation]]''</ref> The arrival of SPARTAN-II team [[Beta-Red|Beta Red]] held off the enemy long enough for Buckman to get his surviving men evacuated.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Part 4 - Countdown|Countdown radio conversation]]''</ref> | ||
A number of Marines were left behind by Chapman, and were later found by [[Joshua-029]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]], and the remaining Spartans. After telling Chief Petty Officer Frederic-104 about their battle, they were ordered to reach a rendezvous point in two Warthogs with the six wounded [[SPARTAN-II|SPARTANs]], forming [[Team Delta]]. They were separated from the rest of [[William-043]]'s team and lost contact. They are likely dead either by the Covenant, or from the eventual glassing of Reach. | A number of Marines were left behind by Chapman, and were later found by [[Joshua-029]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]], and the remaining Spartans.
