'''Operation: MARSH FLASH''' was an [[operation]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]] in the former state of [[United Republic of North America|Arizona]] on [[Earth]] at the very end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] during the [[Battle for Earth]]. The operation saw the tactical deployment of [[nuclear weapon|nuclear weapons]] against shielded Covenant positions centered around [[Free-fire Area OZONE]].
