In early 2559, Palmer took part in Operation: WOLFE, on the former-colony of [[Reach]]. During the engagement, the ''Infinity'' was kept on standby to support the actions of [[Blue Team]] on the ground, though was kept at a distance due to the presence of multiple [[Banished]] [[Karve]]s and [[Covenant destroyer|destroyers]]. Following the Banished deploying reinforcements to the planet's surface, Captain Lasky ordered a deployment of 120 Spartan-IVs in [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pods]], followed by myriad other UNSC personnel to help in the [[Battle of New Mohács]] and liberate [[New Mohács|the city]] from the Banished - and prevent the [[Viery Militia]] from detonating a handful of [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|HAVOK nukes]] and attracting the attention of the Guardians.{{Ref/ | In early 2559, Palmer took part in Operation: WOLFE, on the former-colony of [[Reach]].

Palmer possesses a strong sense of duty, displaying great tenacity and boldness on the battlefield. Possessing an audacious, gung-ho attitude, she is regarded as an experienced and capable leader and is generally cool in tense situations. At the same time, she does have a tendency to react badly when things go wrong. For instance, when [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]] was abducted from the bridge of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, a frustrated Palmer punched a nearby holo-table so hard her fist dented the metal.{{Ref/Reuse|expendable}} | Palmer possesses a strong sense of duty, displaying great tenacity and boldness on the battlefield.

Dr. Halsey describes Palmer as being a by-the-books soldier who would rather obey every rule in the Uniform Code of Military Justice than stray even a little to save humanity.{{Ref/ | Dr. Halsey describes Palmer as being a by-the-books soldier who would rather obey every rule in the Uniform Code of Military Justice than stray even a little to save humanity.{{Ref/Reuse|Chapter 13}} | ||
Palmer takes great pride in being a Spartan, to the point of looking down on the conventional military branches; despite her own [[ODST]] roots she frequently shows rather low expectations of Marine personnel. In contrast, she has very high expectations for her Spartans, especially those of Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and [[Fireteam Majestic|Majestic]]. Palmer typically performs her job in a no-nonsense manner and does not hesitate to dress down her fellow Spartans when they fail to meet her expectations. Several times she called out Fireteam Majestic's leader [[Paul DeMarco]] in front of his own team.{{Ref/Reuse|Departure}}<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Departure/The Challenge|S1E1 ''The Challenge'']]</ref> Spartan [[Jared Miller]] once remarked that it is rare for Palmer to praise anyone under her command. However, she does have a dry sense of humor which she occasionally exhibits on the job. Furthermore, she takes pride in the Spartans under her command and encourages both cooperation and competition between the various Spartan fireteams. She even teased [[John-117]] about his height when she met him on Requiem.{{Ref/Reuse|h4infinity}} | Palmer takes great pride in being a Spartan, to the point of looking down on the conventional military branches; despite her own [[ODST]] roots she frequently shows rather low expectations of Marine personnel.
