Gap battle-jumpers are armored stealth troops of the [[Gao Republic]]'s [[Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War]] trained to operate behind enemy lines for months or years at a time with no supervision or support. Battle doctrine calls for a [[company]] or [[platoon]] of battle-jumpers to deploy and then attack an initial target as a unit, then break into [[squad]]s and scatter, with each squad locating and attacking its own designated high-value targets. In addition, battle-jumpers are deployed in a variety of other roles.<ref name="ll346"/> | |||
[[ | [[Wyvern]] aircraft can deploy a relatively large complement of battle-jumpers into engagements via drop lines attached to the crafts.<ref name="ll346"/> | ||

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the battle-jumpers were rumored to have destroyed a [[Covenant]] [[battle group]] that was en route to [[Glassing|glass]] Gao's surface.<ref name="ll346"/> | ||

Half of the unit was quickly eliminated by the Spartans,<ref name="ll346"/> though the battle-jumpers continued to pursue despite their mounting causalities. The Spartans took the helmets of several dead battle-jumpers to listen to their orders being transmitted through the helmets. Ultimately, the Spartans killed most of the battle-jumpers sent to engage them and Blue Team was successful in leaving Gao with Intrepid Eye.<ref name="ll357">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 357-359''</ref> | ||
