The [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] trained here as well in [[2517]] upon their initial induction into the SPARTAN-II program.<ref name="pain">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 246</ref> In [[2552]], this was the location where [[John-117]] tested his new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor, equipped with [[Energy Shields]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 254</ref> During the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Frederic-104]] used this area as a staging point for his Spartans.

It had the reputation for being known as "Painland".<ref name="pain"/> It featured a large obstacle course, with a run over ten acres of jagged gravel, a place called the "razor field" where the trainees had to crawl in the mud under razor wire with bullets flying inches over their heads.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 261</ref> Finally there was a course called "[[The Pillars of Loki]]" which consisted of a forest of ten meter high poles placed at random intervals, usually with booby traps strung on, to teach the importance of moving slowly and keeping one's eyes open.
