Although it was previously available only to Beta-5 security teams and select Army rapid-reaction forces,[11] it was also employed by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers during Fall of Reach.[12] By 2558, its use was adopted by Spartan-IV personnel employing the Military Police helmet, which also employs an integrated Command Network Module.[11] One such unit is operated by the ODST Corporal Chloe Turpin, as part of the operating forces of UNSC Spirit of Fire. Turpin uses her WILLOW sensor to designate targets for Sunray 1-1's support drone Hank and sniper Devon Sparks.[9]
