During the Battle of Trove, Charlie Platoon, along with Alpha Platoon and Bravo Platoon, was left on the planet's surface, trapped behind a region infested with Flood structures and biomass, when the UNSC Spirit of Fire was being pulled into the one of the many portals that connected the Shield World's surface to its interior. Under the leadership of Sergeant John Forge and Captain James Cutter, UNSC ground forces were able to destroy the Flood infestation between the three platoons and UNSC firebase, securing an escape path for Charlie Platoon. While the first two platoons returned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire through D77-TC Pelican extraction, the third platoon was forced to fight its way back to the firebase on foot. Regardless, all surviving Marines in Charlie Platoon returned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire.[1]
