Camp Independence is a [[UNSC]] encampment located in the [[Highland Mountains]] on planet [[Reach]]. It is located inside a large cavern in the shadow of a cliff, thereby obscuring the entrance from the casual observer. The cavern is illuminated by florescent lights and reinforced by steel I-beams on the walls and ceiling. It is protected by two [[Gauss Cannon]]s bolted to large boulders near the enterance of the cavern. It was a fallback position for the high-ranking staff of [[HIGHCOM]]. | Camp Independence is a [[UNSC]] encampment located in the [[Highland Mountains]] on planet [[Reach]].

During [[The Battle of Reach]], [[Admiral Whitcomb|Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] and his staff retreated to Camp Independence to escape death at the hands of the [[Covenant]]. He then radioed [[Charlie Company]] to come in and rescue him. Instead, he discovered that company to be destroyed, and [[Spartans]] in its place. He ordered [[Spartan-104|SPARTAN-104]] to rescue him. Fredric dispatched [[Spartan-044|SPARTAN-044]], [[Spartan-093|SPARTAN-093]], and [[Spartan-008|SPARTAN-008]] to pick up Whitcomb. They then attempted to fall back to Fredric's position, but it had already be surrounded by the Covenant. They held position and broadcast [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]] over the [[COM|UNSC E-Band]] for three weeks until [[Master Chief|SPARTAN-117]] and [[Cortana]], aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', picked up the transmission and rescued Whitcomb and the Spartans from Camp Independence. His staff is assumed to be killed and Camp Independence is still intact, one of few places not [[glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant. | During [[The Battle of Reach]], [[Admiral Whitcomb|Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] and his staff retreated to Camp Independence to escape death at the hands of the [[Covenant]].
