Consisting of four issues, ''Boot Camp'' chronicles the childhood of future [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] commander [[John-117]] as he is kidnapped and thrown into the elite supersoldier program early on in the 26th century. The story arc culminates in the Spartans' first real mission, an [[Assault on Eridanus Secundus|operation]] to capture the rebel [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]] at their hidden asteroid base, [[Eridanus Secundus]]. As with the rest of the adaptation, ''Boot Camp'' largely follows the plot of the original novel, though some events have been omitted. In turn, a new subplot which further explores the [[Insurrectionist|Eridanus rebels]] and their leader, [[Robert Watts|Colonel Robert Watts]], has been added. For a full list of the differences, see [[List of changes in Halo: Fall of Reach|list of changes in ''Halo: Fall of Reach'']]. | Consisting of four issues, ''Boot Camp'' chronicles the childhood of future [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] commander [[John-117]] as he is kidnapped and thrown into the elite supersoldier program early on in the 26th century.

The story then jumps four years forward, as the shuttle ''[[Han]]'' arrives in the [[Eridanus system]] with [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade|Lt.]] [[Jacob Keyes]] onboard. In [[Elysium City]] on [[Eridanus II]], they observe the boy who will later become [[John-117]]. A month later, the Spartan conscripts, having each been kidnapped and brought to Reach, are rounded up as Halsey tells them of their conscription to the SPARTAN-II project. Later, Halsey is seen drinking in her apartment, when she receives a message from [[Vice Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]], regarding the risks involved in the planned [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]]. | ||

John and the other recruits are woken up and are put through various exercises by [[Chief Petty Officer|CPO]] [[Franklin Mendez]]. Afterward, they are taught of the [[Battle of Thermopylae]] by [[Déjà]] in the [[Reach Naval Academy]]. A UNSC transport vessel is then shown exiting slipspace and soon being boarded by rebels near Eridanus II. The narrative then returns to the Spartan trainees, who are dropped into the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]] on Reach and are given a mission to find a way to the extraction point, each on their own. The Spartans team up, and with John on the lead, seize a dropship and use it to return to the base. After the incident, John is promoted squad leader by Chief Mendez. | ||
