{{Main|Military Wilderness Training Preserve}} | |||
Highlands is set in the [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]] in the aptly named [[Highland Mountains]] on [[Reach]]. From [[2517]] to [[2525]], the [[SPARTAN-II program]] used this area for training the super soldiers on wilderness survival. Outside the map, the [[Big Horn River]] dominates the valley floor and in the distance, several {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s can be seen [[glassing]] Reach. | |||
The middle of the map plays host to a [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship, ''[[Bravo 001]]''. During the [[Fall of Reach]], members of SPARTAN-II [[Red Team]] deployed to the surface of Reach in ''Bravo 001'' to defend the planet's [[orbital defense generator]]s from [[Covenant]] assault. The Pelican was shot down and crash-landed in the Highland Mountains.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/video/bts-defiant-map-pack/2458ede3-9d81-406c-a92d-1bfe1306e3da Halo Waypoint: Behind the Scenes - Defiant Map Pack]</ref> | |||
