 {{Quote|We are now under attack across the Viery territory, including orbital defenses. As per the Winter Contingency, we are countering on every front.|[[Auntie Dot]]{{Ref/Reuse|TotS}}}}
 During the [[Fall of Reach]], the '''order of battle''' for [[operation]]s in the '''[[Viery Territory]]''' on '''[[Reach]]''' on [[2552|August 12th, 2552]], comprised many units from the [[UNSC Army]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. Air support was provided by [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] warships and A/X craft, while airlift came from the [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]]. Over the course of the battle, three Army brigades and numerous Marine rifle and shock infantry battalions would both defend against and counterattack the [[Covenant]] in Viery. Elements of this joint force participated in the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]], where they attempted to prevent the Covenant from gaining a foothold on Reach.{{Ref/Level|Id=TotS|Game=[[Halo: Reach]]|Level=[[Tip of the Spear]]}}
-Based on the organizational structure of the units involved, approximately 6,700 soldiers and an equal or greater number of Marines were deployed across the theater.{{Ref/Note|Judging by the numbers of regiments in the three brigades, it is likely that the UNSC Army uses an organization similar to [[Wikipedia:British Army|British]] and [[Wikipedia:Regiment#Commonwealth armies|Commonwealth]] regiments. Based on that particular unit hierarchy, these formations have at least a minimum of 500 soldiers serving within each of these regiments. Alternately, the Army may use the [[Wikipedia:Brigade Combat Team|Brigade Combat Team]] organization first used in the early 21st century by the [[Wikipedia:United States Army|United States Army]] judging by the number of regiments/battalions and companies within each of the brigades. Based modern [[Wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps]] organization, at least 800 to 1,200 Marines and sailors serve within a single battalion, resulting in anywhere between 6,400 and 9,600 Marines may have participated in the Viery campaign.}}
+Based on the organizational structure of the units involved, over 39,700 soldiers and 7,200 Marines with 3,600 being ODSTs were deployed to the theater.{{Ref/Note|Based upon unit definitions given in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''.}}
