 The Marine Corps also partook in a major assault alongside the UNSC Navy in the [[Battle of Voi]]. As ground forces, the Marines were to engage in the [[Battle of Voi]] with a [[John-117|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]] by eliminating anti-air vehicles and batteries, as well as destroying temporary Covenant outposts to allow UNSC reinforcements to refortify the area.
-The Marines fought in the war's [[Battle of Installation 00|last battle]] at [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. Starting with their deployment in an [[operation]] codenamed Operation: BLIND FAITH,<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]''', ''page 57''</ref> the Marines launched numerous attacks on Brute strongholds, including an attack on the Ark's [[cartographer]]. After fighting on foot, and in heavy vehicles, the Marines drove off the Covenant. They then teamed up with the Elites and attacked three [[barrier tower]]s protecting the Ark's [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]]. After capturing the first tower, with the help of the Master Chief, Marines and UNSC [[pilot]]s then defeated the Covenant aerial forces. They then waited for the deactivation of the third tower, where they then staged an attack on the Citadel. After fighting two Scarabs, they were then evacuated back to the fleet while the Master Chief and the Arbiter killed Truth. The surviving Marine forces fell back to Earth through the Portal on board the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' before [[Installation 08]] was activated.
