Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]] the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was selected to support [[Operation: RED FLAG]], a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] mission to capture [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Hierarchs|leaders]]. [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] was placed in command. The operation was forestalled by the Covenant assault on Reach; the cruiser carried some of the few UNSC survivors and fled the system having lost most of its intended SPARTAN-II passengers.
