I have a question about the military complex that was first used by the Spartan II's when they arrived on Reach and were indoctrinated into the program by Dr. Halsey. This complex had an Amphitheater and the “Reach Naval Academy” withing it. Throughout the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach and the comic-book adaptation (Bootcamp), This place is always referred to as the “Reach (UNSC) Military Complex.” I must know, is this complex also considered part of CASTLE base? or an entirely different base? If it is a different base, then there needs to be a page for it on Halopedian and on Halo Nation. Forgotten Helljumper 02:51, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

It's Military Reservation 01478-B.--Spartacus TalkContribs 20:16 18 March 2012 (EST)

There's no way that Military Reservation 01478-B can be the same complex for the following reasons.

1. Nylund spends the whole time throughout the novel just calling it “Reach (UNSC) Military Complex” why would he wait to the very end to finally give it a name and call it Military Reservation 01478-B ?

2. In the novel, John arrives at the amphitheater of the “Reach (UNSC) Military Complex” on August 27, 2552 with fellow Spartans to receive their next mission “Operation: Red Flag.” While there John remembers how each time he had been there his life had changed. In the following days, John will be outfitted with new MJOLNIR armor. On August 29, 2552 John arrives at Military Reservation 01478-B to receive his armor, parking his warthog (indicating he drove there) and starts remembering about the good ol' days at that reservation. If it is the same complex, why would he begin to reminisce about it if he was already there two days earlier? Unless if the Reach (UNSC) Military Complex is actually a different base!

I agree it seems to be a separate facility. There's already an article about the Reach Naval Academy, but the whole complex doesn't seem to have one. I've actually had it on my list of things to do for a while. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 01:40, 19 March 2012 (EDT)


A while back I Brought the issue of how there wasn't an article for the complex simply called the “Reach (UNSC) Military Complex”. As it turns out, it was also called FLEETCOM Military Complex but only once in Chapter 26 of The Fall of Reach. My question now is whether we should title the article "Reach (UNSC) Military Complex" or "FLEETCOM Military Complex?" Fleetcom would seem to be more formal but like I've stated before, throughout most of the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach and the comic-book adaptation (Bootcamp), its always just referred to as the “Reach (UNSC) Military Complex.” Forgotten Helljumper 20:35, 19 July 2012 (EDT)
