Patrol

Patrol is a live-action advertisement video for Halo: Reach, part of the Remember Reach advertising campaign. In the short, three UNSC troopers from 3 Charlie are on patrol, discussing a recent confrontation Noble Team had with insurrectionists, before being sent to investigate a disturbance in the Comm Relay Hub in Visegrad.

Transcript
''Three UNSC infantrymen stand guard at night in a snowy landscape. An APC is seen on the foreground.''


 * Trooper #1: Heard Noble Team had an interesting morning.
 * Trooper #2: Yeah, they surprised a couple of SCIs trying to hijack a supply transport. Innies never even saw them.
 * Trooper #1: Insurgents vs. Spartans? That's not even a fight.
 * Trooper #2: Well that's probably why-
 * Operator (radio): 3 Charlie. Come in.
 * Trooper #1: 3 Charlie. Copy.
 * Operator (radio): Prep your team for immediate mobilization to Visegrad. We've lost contact with the Comm Relay Hub. Possible insurrectionist activity.
 * Trooper #1: Roger. We're on the way. 3 Charlie, out.

Trooper #2 grabs his duffel bag from the ground


 * Trooper #3: It's not enough we fight the Covenant. We have to come back down here and get attacked by our own people as well.

The soldiers check their weapons


 * Trooper #1: That's the job. And you can bet there will be more fires to put out tomorrow... so stay focused. Let's move.

The troopers start walking toward the APC.

Trivia

 * This trailer is 1:17 long, which may be a reference to Bungie's love of the number seven (1x1x7=7, as well as the length, which is 77 seconds). It is also be a reference to John-117's SPARTAN tag.
 * The troopers in the video wear United States Marine Corps MARPAT digital woodland uniforms under their armor.
 * Despite being Army personnel, the members of 3 Charlie wear ODST armor in the Patrol teaser video. The members of 3 Charlie encountered in Winter Contingency wear Army BDUs.
 * The troopers wield MA5C assault rifles rather than MA37 assault rifles, which are standard-issue for Army personnel. This is likely because the MA5C props had been used in The Life and the director's cut of Birth of a Spartan. These props were later used in Deliver Hope.
