The squad was part of a larger detachment of the [[65th Shock Troops Division]]<ref name="lootcrate2">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]''</ref> tasked with [[Operation: BUMRUSH|assaulting]] the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' from orbit over [[New Mombasa]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/video/into-hell-1/6c327f74-5bc0-43c4-ac92-0feef4a712b0 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Into Hell 1'']</ref> The squad was chosen by the ONI operative [[Veronica Dare]] to partake on a classified mission, which was not revealed to the squad members until in mid-drop, when Dare ordered the squad to adjust their [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pods]]' trajectories away from the [[Assault carrier|Covenant carrier]]. However, Miles could barely hear her new orders, and did not adjust his pod soon enough.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Prepare To Drop (level)|Prepare To Drop]]''</ref> | ||

Before the ODSTs hit the ground, the assault carrier initiated [[Slipspace]] transition over the city, generating a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave, disabling the pods' electronic systems. The squad's pods were scattered around the city, with no clear idea of their mission or their squadmates' whereabouts. Miles' pod landed on the outskirts of the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]]. 30 minutes after the drop, he moved out and made his way up to a clearing where a battle was taking place, between Covenant infantry and armor, against a platoon of Marines with three [[Warthog]]s, one of them turned over, and under fire from Covenant infantry. With his help, they secured the Warthog and defeated the Covenant forces in the area and started a Warthog charge against the enemy. After the area was cleared, Miles and the other Marines made contact with the [[Unnamed UNSC Colonel|Colonel]] in charge, who ordered them to [[Second Platoon (Halo 3: ODST)|Second Platoon]]'s location, which was taking heavy fire and needed assistance. | Before the ODSTs hit the ground, the assault carrier initiated [[Slipspace]] transition over the city, generating a massive [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] wave, disabling the pods' electronic systems.
