The UNSC Marine Corps remained in force on [[Earth]] and its geosynchronous [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s, and were mostly prepared to repulse a relatively small Covenant invasion, when fifteen Covenant capital warships, two [[Assault Carrier]]s and thirteen [[Covenant Cruiser]]s, entered the Sol System. They then played a significant role in the the Covenant ground assault on Earth where they defended multiple major population centers from the Covenant's occupation such as those in [[Battle of Mombasa|New Mombasa]], [[Battle of Cleveland|Cleveland]], and [[Battle of Havana|Havana]]. | The UNSC Marine Corps remained in force on [[Earth]] and its geosynchronous [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s, and were mostly prepared to repulse a relatively small Covenant invasion, when fifteen Covenant capital warships, two [[Assault Carrier]]s and thirteen [[Covenant Cruiser]]s, entered the Sol System.

Such Marine detachments were the [[405th]], which was able to engage the Covenant ground forces in [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]] as the Covenant Assault Carrier landed [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]], [[Orbital Insertion Pod]]s, and used its [[Gravity Lift]] to directly deploy reinforcements. | ||
The Marine Corps also partook in a major assault alongside the UNSC Navy in [[Voi]]. As ground forces, the Marines were to engage in the [[Battle of Voi]] with a [[John-117|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]] by eliminating anti-air vehicles and batteries, as well as destroying temporary Covenant outposts to allow UNSC reinforcements to refortify the area. | The Marine Corps also partook in a major assault alongside the UNSC Navy in [[Voi]].
