'''Lieutenant Rick Hale''' was a [[UNSC]] [[Navy|Naval]] officer and [[Pelican]] pilot in [[2552]]. He was assigned to the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' with Pelican [[Charlie 217]].  

 

When the ''Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]] and was subsequently shot down, Hale and his Pelican managed to survive the crash and escaped.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 208</ref> Unfortunately, they were captured by the [[Covenant]] forces on the [[Halo|Ringworld]]. Hale was kept alive, however, so that he could be used as a decoy for [[SpecOps Elite]] commander [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s plan to attack [[Alpha Base]], the human stronghold.

Hale was forced to fly to Alpha Base and radio in to get clearance to land. He claimed he had wounded aboard, though his Pelican was actually overloaded with 30 SpecOps [[Elites]] in [[Active Camouflage]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 208-210</ref> As soon as Hale had radioed in, 'Zamamee killed him with an [[Energy Garrote]] and one of the Elites took over for the landing. <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 210</ref>

Hale is part of the UNSC Navy, but is mistakenly referred to the Marine rank [[First Lieutenant]]<ref>Fall of Reach page 209</ref>.
