During the Battle of Mombasa and Battle of Voi in late October 2552, numerous F-99's were deployed in 2-3 recon elements to the city of New Mombasa and the city of Voi, from UNSC Aircraft Carriers stationed some distance off the coast. They were the UNSC's air support to the Combat Marines.

Trivia

 * The F-99 was originally going to be featured in Halo 3 under the name "F99 Wombat", but didn't appear until Halo 3: ODST. It was featured in the Art of Halo 3 book. It wasn't actually officially named the Wombat, but was just a joke referring to the fighter's designation.
 * The vehicle also appears as silhouettes on nearby ships in Longshore.
