| '''Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE''' was a series of highly-classified surgical strikes against prominent leaders of various [[insurrectionist]] groups that was initiated by the [[United Nations Space Command]] at the start of the 26th century.

|
| ==The operation==
| | '''Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE''' was an assassination mission carried out by [[Avery Johnson]].<ref>[[Halo Graphic Novel, Page 122|''Halo Graphic Novel'', page 122]]</ref> |
| In [[2502]], the UNSC decided to change its tactics when it came to combating the [[Insurrection]]. Instead of expending great amounts of resources fighting the rebels in large-scale theaters of combat, a new emphasis was put on assassinating key figures. Over the next five years, UNSC assassins targeted multiple individuals, successfully killing [[Molin Saal]], [[Jerald Ander]], [[Standish Kable]], and [[Elanor Kef]].{{Ref/Book|Halo Mythos|Page=55}}

|
| Jerald Ander, the leader of the [[Secessionist Union]], was killed by [[Corporal]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] on March 13, [[2502]]. The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Special Forces|NAVSPECWAR]], specifically [[ORION Project|Project: ORION]], sent Johnson to [[Harvest]] to carry out the strike. This assignment was Johnson's final test for the [[Naval Special Warfare Sniper School]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Contact Harvest|Page=64}} Johnson and another UNSC Marine, his spotter, acquired a position a fair distance from the target and Johnson set up an [[Model 99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|M99 "Stanchion" rifle]]. When Ander's truck passed by, Johnson took the shot and successfully killed Ander, effectively ending the threat posed by the Secessionist Union.{{Ref/Comic|HGN|Page=122}}
| | ==Synopsis== |
|
| |
|
| At some point during Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE, components of the [[ORION armor]] were field-tested by ORION operatives.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/anniversary-armory|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Anniversary Armory|D=03|M=11|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Game|MCC|Armor customization (Halo 2: Anniversary)|''Halo 2: Anniversary'' Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=ORION - Forearms Description|Quote=Field-tested during Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE.}}
| | In 2502, the UNSC, specifically [[Spartan-I|Project: ORION]], sent [[Avery Johnson|Corporal Avery Johnson]] to assassinate [[Jerald Mulkey Ander]], a leader of the People's Occupation Government. The UNSC sent Johnson to [[Harvest]], at the time a new colony, to assassinate him. This operation was also Johnson's final test for [[Naval Special Warfare Sniper School]]. <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 64</ref> |
|

|
| ==List of appearances==
| | Johnson acquired a position a fair distance from his target and set up a [[M99|M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle]]. Along with Johnson there was another UNSC Marine, presumably his spotter for making calculations for wind and distance. |
