Armored stealth troops operating under the [[Gao Republic]]'s [[Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War]], Gao battle-jumpers are trained to operate behind enemy lines for months or years at a time with no supervision or support. Battle doctrine calls for a [[company]] or [[platoon]] of battle-jumpers to deploy and then attack an initial target as a unit, then break into [[squad]]s and scatter, with each squad locating and attacking its own designated high-value targets. In addition, battle-jumpers are deployed in a variety of other roles.{{Ref/Reuse|ll346}} | |||

Half of the unit was quickly eliminated by the Spartans,{{Ref/Reuse|ll346}} though the battle-jumpers continued to pursue despite their mounting casualties. The Spartans took the helmets of several dead battle-jumpers to listen to their orders being transmitted through the helmets. Ultimately, the Spartans killed most of the battle-jumpers sent to engage them and Blue Team was successful in leaving Gao with Intrepid Eye.<ref name="ll357">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 357-359''</ref> | ||
