Talk:Operation: UPPER CUT

If you watch the Halo: Reach E3 Campaign Demo, Operation:UPPERCUT seems to be above a Corvette - right at the end of the campaign demo you hear some unidentifued commander say, "Agreed. Sabre teams, clear a path to that corvette." Its either the Sabre teams are attacking a covie corvette or helping a damaged UNSC corvette - we shall see. XW3 AR3 L3GION 20:06, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Branch of boarding troops
One thing that seems to be somewhat unresolved even to this day is the branch of the troops that board the corvette with Six. There's no definite answer either, but I thought some discussion would be in order anyways.

First, the BDUs of the troops in question are subtly different from both the Army and Marines in the game, possessing a blue-gray coloration with light gray armor plating. Interestingly, the pilot of the Falcon that crashes in Tip of the Spear is wearing a similar uniform, which implies they're likely to be of the same branch. Also, the boarders only consist of Sabre pilots and navigators, since no other ships land on the corvette. I can see Army-assigned pilots piloting Falcons or other craft, but space fighters? It's always a possibility though, but I would assume that highly classified and specialized craft such as the Sabres would either be managed by the Air Force or Navy. Which brings us to the possibility of them being Air Force. It's entirely possible, considering their uniforms' unique coloration. Then again, they could just be Marines with different uniforms.

Either way, some of our articles concerning them are somewhat contradictory at points, with one claiming them to be Marines and other saying they're Army, so I think clarification would be needed. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 11:38, 17 November 2010 (EST)
