Military Wilderness Training Preserve

The Military Wilderness Training Preserve was a large, wooded area in the Highland Mountains on the Planet Reach. This rocky mountain area was a place where the Spartan-II soldiers trained in unit cohesion. They were each given a piece of a map and decided to set up a meeting place. They made their way to an extraction point and were forced to disorient a squad of Marines in order to commandeer a Pelican dropship. After this mission, Chief Petty Officer Mendez promoted John-117 to squad leader.

The preserve was apparently home to at least one pack of Wolves, which Chief Mendez warned the Spartans about before deployment, as well as an unnamed species of an Owl.
