The ODSTs were successful in taking the base, but they were under supplied. Silva then ordered McKay on a convoy to the Pillar of Autumn crash site, and she successfully gathered materials and resupplied the base. It then became the central base of the survivors of the ''Autumn'', as all known surviving naval personnel and [[Pelican]] ships were relocated there. | The ODSTs were successful in taking the base, but they were under supplied.

Later, the base was fortified with Shade Turrets, salvaged 50mm cannons from the wrecked ''Autumn'', and sensor equipment operated by the [[AI Wellsley]]. These came in handy when [[Covenant]] forces led by [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] and [[Noga 'Putumee]] attacked the base in hopes of finding the [[Master Chief]] (the [[Battle of Alpha Base]]. The attack failed and the humans held the mesa. The surviving Scorpion Tanks were also used as a static defensive line having been buried up to their turrets with sand and dirt. Thus they were used as a stationary gun. | Later, the base was fortified with Shade Turrets, salvaged 50mm cannons from the wrecked ''Autumn'', and sensor equipment operated by the [[AI Wellsley]].

It was later discovered that the [[Flood]] had been attempting to break into the base and were only impeded by a single metal grate leading to an unnoticed group of caverns. The entrances to these caverns were successfully sealed, and the [[Flood]] were delayed from overtaking the base. By the time they managed to break through, the [[UNSC]] forces had abandoned the base in hopes of leaving the installation aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. | It was later discovered that the [[Flood]] had been attempting to break into the base and were only impeded by a single metal grate leading to an unnoticed group of caverns.
