-'''E2-BAG/1/7''' is a [[UNSC Marine Corps]] unit.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=rawr Bungie.net's preview of the Spike Grenade]</ref>
+==Operational history==
+After Eridanus II fell in [[2530]], the unit was reassigned to defend other [[human colonies]]. Retaining the "E2" designation despite the loss of their homeworld, they became known as one of the "ghost battalions".{{Ref/Reuse|evo}} Following the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], elements of E2-BAG/1/7 were reassigned to [[New Mombasa]], [[Earth]] along with other units as a part of the UNSC's efforts to bolster the defenses of Earth's [[space elevator|tether]] cities.{{Ref/Reuse|evo}} During the [[Battle of Earth]], the Third Squad from the Kilo Company of E2-BAG/1/7 fought alongside [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] in New Mombasa. The Spartan later met Kilo Company's [[commanding officer]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Parisa]], in the unit's command post at [[Palace Hotel (location)|Palace Hotel]] where they planned a counterattack to retake the city's [[New Mombasa industrial zone|industrial center]] from the Covenant and destroy a [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Palace Hotel"</ref> Some members of the unit would later deploy on [[Installation 05]], and see action against the [[Flood]] on the installation.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3shotgun|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The M90A Shotgun|D=08|M=6|Y=2020|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present/M90A}}
-==Background==
+E2-BAG/1/7 was at some point interviewed by [[Robert McLees (ship designer)|Dr. Robert McLees]] on multiple late-war UNSC and [[Covenant]] vehicles and firearms to produce a report entitled ''[[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
-This unit and its members were stationed on [[Earth]] in [[2552]]. They probably fought in the [[Battle of Earth]].
-==Speculation==
+==Subordinate units==
-{{Conjecturalization}}
+*[[Kilo Company]]
-It is possible the E stands for the company, Echo.  The 2 may be second platoon of E Co, or second battalion, which the company is part of.  BAG could stand for Brigade (or Battalion) Assault Group, which would be the infantry element of a reinforced [[Marine]] regiment or battalion, or Marine expeditionary unit.  The 1/7 could either be [[1st Battalion]], 7th Marine Regiment, or 1st Regiment, 7th Division.  This is simply conjecture and should not be taken as canon.

 ==Trivia==
-*E2-BAG/1/7 was interviewed by [[Dr. Robert McLees]] on multiple UNSC and [[Covenant]] vehicles and firearms that appear in ''[[Halo 3]]''. Some of these interviews were posted on [[Bungie.net]]'s front page.
+*Robert McLees "interviews" with E2-BAG/1/7 were posted on [[Bungie.net]]'s front page prior to the release of ''[[Halo 3]]'' as a conceit to give an introduction to the weapons and vehicles in the game.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}
+*It is possible that [[A Company]], elements of which are encountered by John-117 near the end of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[Metropolis]]'', was part of E2-BAG/1/7.
+*It is possible that the designation "E2-BAG/1/7" is simply an administrative designation, similar to the prefix "V" used for infantry battalions in the [[Wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|US Marine Corps]] (ex. "V27 for 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment).
