To ensure the success of UNSC prolonged operations on the ring, Lieutenant McKay was ordered to take a contingent of ODSTs to scout out the wreckage of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and recover as many weapons, supplies and vehicles as they could. A team of troopers assembled on the landing pad of Alpha Base in the night before insertion for inspection by Sergeant [[Lister (Marine)|Lister]] to ensure none of the marines' full combat loads would make any noise that might give the teams away during the mission. The troopers were briefed by Major [[Antonio Silva]] on the mission - to recover supplies (and a bottle of scotch left in the Major's office) before the Covenant could launch an all-out attack on Alpha Base. The troopers then filed onto their [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship for the short flight over to the plains where the ''Autumn'' lay. Several teams were deployed onto the plains ahead of the main force via Pelican dropships ''[[Echo 136]]'' and ''[[Echo 206]]'', with the ring's unpredictable weather granting rain to provide the teams cover.<ref name="flood4">''Halo: the Flood, Chapter 4''</ref> | To ensure the success of UNSC prolonged operations on the ring, Lieutenant McKay was ordered to take a contingent of ODSTs to scout out the wreckage of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and recover as many weapons, supplies and vehicles as they could.
