Operations conducted by the UNSC on Reach are under strict ONI security classification, classified to other UNSC personnel regardless of rank or position. Terrestrial and orbital operations were complicated by the presence of unaffiliated local civilians, contractors of the Unified Earth Government, and unlicensed [[Kig-Yar]] [[Salvaging|salvagers]]. While specific strategic objectives were classified, Spartans with experience and a background in [[combat engineer]]ing and covert action were asked to report to ONI for screening and assessment for a mission to Reach. It was rumored that ONI intended to dispatch [[Spartan-IV]]s to search CASTLE Base under Menachite Mountain for an unspecified object.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm94}} | Operations conducted by the UNSC on Reach are under strict ONI security classification, classified to other UNSC personnel regardless of rank or position.

Reach was the most important headquarters for the [[United Nations Space Command]] outside of Earth and the main supplier of military and civilian spacecraft, and the location of the UNSC's largest and most active shipyard. [[UNSC High Command|High Command]], [[FLEETCOM|Fleet Command]] and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] maintained headquarters on Reach, as well as many primary [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Naval Intelligence]] bases, which included the highly classified [[CASTLE Base]]. It was also where the UNSC's most elite troops, including the [[ODST]]s as well as the SPARTAN-IIs, were trained.
