'''Supply Pads''' are [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] structures that form the backbone of a prefabricated [[Firebase]] unit, and are crucial to the smooth operation of any base. They provide not only access to the underground assembly and storage areas, but also everything from medical kits to full-sized [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] engines, the crew of a well run supply pad knows that a working pad means a working base.<ref>[ | '''Supply Pads''' are [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] structures that form the backbone of a prefabricated [[Firebase]] unit, and are crucial to the smooth operation of any base.

Supply Pads allow the firebase to receive a constant flow of Supplies from the ''Spirit of Fire''. These are vital logistical ports for UNSC combat operations, and the force commander should carefully weigh the cost of delaying their construction. To sustain high-tempo missions the Heavy Supply Pad upgrade is needed, which accelerates Supply generation.<ref name="PL">''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Supply Pad</reF> | ||
While some useful assets can be salvaged and tapped on the Ark's surface, the bulk of the UNSC's supplies must still be delivered from the ''Spirit of Fire''. Sustaining combat operations on the Ark would be practically impossible without the use of supply pads to quickly unload cargo from dropships and the on-site direction of logisticians to efficiently redistribute the incoming food, ammunition, spare parts, and power cells.<ref name="PL" /> | While some useful assets can be salvaged and tapped on the Ark's surface, the bulk of the UNSC's supplies must still be delivered from the ''Spirit of Fire''.
