Following the enactment of the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]] in [[2535]], ODST combat teams were tasked with boarding commercial and private vessels and purging their navigation databases. During one of these routine operations, a group of ODSTs aboard the ''[[UNSC Midsummer Night]]'' were captured and taken to the [[Rubble]]. They, in conjunction with SPARTAN-II [[Gray Team]], would later [[Battle of Metisette|defeat]] a [[Kig-yar]] plan to trick the inhabitants of the Rubble out of their navigation data, which could compromise the location of Earth. | Following the enactment of the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]] in [[2535]], ODST combat teams were tasked with boarding commercial and private vessels and purging their navigation databases.

As the Covenant | As the Human-Covenant war progressed, the ODSTs would go on to participate in many engagements; among these were the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], an [[The Babysitter|assassination mission]] on [[Heian]], the [[Battle of Skopje]], the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]], the [[Battle of Tribute]], and the [[Battle of Ariel]]. The numerous campaigns and operations in which the ODSTs participated throughout the long war all pale in comparison to the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], during which countless ODSTs lost their lives defending strategic locations on the planet. | ||
During the initial invasion of Reach, a large contingent of ODSTs participated in the [[Battle of Viery]], assisting the [[UNSC Army]] in repelling the Covenant forces from the planet. Throughout the course of the battle, the UNSC formed joint forces to combat against the overwhelming Covenant forces. Some time during the event, several battalions were stationed on the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]''. As the planet fell to the Covenant onslaught, the vessel made a blind Slipspace jump away from the [[Epsilon Eridani]] system, discovering the long-abandoned [[Installation 04]]. During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], shock troopers led by [[Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] and [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]], operated as a guerrilla force by conducting hit-and-run operations against the forces of the Covenant's [[Fleet of Particular Justice]].<ref name="flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]'''</ref> | During the initial invasion of Reach, a large contingent of ODSTs participated in the [[Battle of Viery]], assisting the [[UNSC Army]] in repelling the Covenant forces from the planet.
