'''First Lieutenant Jake Chapman''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[Commissioned officer|officer]] stationed on the planet [[Reach]] in [[2552]].<ref name="jake">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 22''</ref>

During the [[Fall of Reach]], Chapman shared command of [[Charlie Company]] with [[Buckman|First Lieutenant Buckman]], commanding the sub-unit [[Gamma 1]]. As the Covenant assaulted the [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s in force, a large portion of Charlie Company was killed near [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|ODG A-331]] by a poorly targeted carpet bombing.{{Ref/Reuse|jake}} Gamma 1 and Gamma 5 then separated, with Buckman moving out to defend [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|ODG A-412]] and Chapman contacting a recon team observing a large Covenant ground force coming their way. After the recon team panicked and opened fire on the Covenant, Chapman called in [[Beta Red]] along with the [[Third Mechanized]]. Soon, Buckman and the remnants of Gamma 5 retreated from Facility A-412, now also overrun by the Covenant, to regroup with Chapman and Gamma 1. Beta Red, engaging the incoming Covenant force 30,000 strong by themselves, bought some time for Chapman and Buckman to retreat. Chapman then contacted [[Iron Fist]], who advised them to head for a temporary evac station some 50 kilometers away.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Boardwalk radio conversation''</ref> Chapman and his unit were still in the splash zone when the {{UNSCShip|Majestic}} opened fire on several Covenant cruisers over Beta Red's position, but at least Chapman and Buckman survived the blast.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Reflection radio conversation''</ref>
