Operation Eiserne
Once the Covenant arrived, Operation Eiserne shifted from a campaign of counter-insurgency to a defensive operation against the alien invaders. Originally conceived as a comprehensive UNSC-led effort to eradicate insurrectionist activity and gain the support of neutral parties across the archipelago, the operation is now focused on defending key human settlements and infrastructure from the Covenant onslaught.
Prior to the Covenant’s arrival, the operation involved a systematic sweep of nearly every square inch of the islands to identify and root out insurgent forces. The UNSC placed equal emphasis on "hearts and minds" initiatives, providing humanitarian aid, engaging with communities, and rebuilding infrastructure to earn the loyalty of the local population. These efforts aimed to weaken the influence of factions like the Iron Star Union and bring the neutral population under UEG control.
CURRENT ROE: Weapons free. You are free to engage targets if you feel you have to.
