Grev PT Grounds
Grev PT Grounds is a key training facility operated by the Iron Star Union on Vandros-7. Located deep within a secluded forested valley on the northwest island, this site is designed to prepare Union recruits for the harsh realities of combat against UEG forces and their allies. The facility plays a vital role in transforming raw recruits into disciplined soldiers capable of defending Union-held territories and advancing their cause.
History
Grev PT Grounds was originally part of an old Colonial Military Authority (CMA) outpost, abandoned when UEG resources were reallocated to the war against the Covenant. Following the rise of the Iron Star Union, Union forces repurposed the grounds into a training center to bolster their military strength. Over time, it evolved from a basic drill site into a full-fledged training compound, providing comprehensive combat and survival training tailored to Vandros-7's challenging environments.
Strategic Importance
Grev PT Grounds plays a central role in sustaining the Union's fighting capability. The facility not only trains new recruits but also serves as a refresher course for seasoned fighters returning from the front lines. Its location in the dense forests of the island provides natural concealment, making it difficult for UEG forces to detect and disrupt the training activities.
Securing Grev PT Grounds has become a priority for Union Command, as the base is pivotal to their strategy of cultivating a dedicated, well-prepared fighting force. The facility’s presence also boosts the morale of Union forces, serving as a symbol of their self-sufficiency and defiance against UEG control.
Current Status
While the UEG and UNSC forces are aware of the existence of Union training sites, the exact location and layout of Grev PT Grounds remain unknown to them due to its remote placement and strict operational security. Union scouts patrol the surrounding woods constantly, monitoring for any signs of enemy movement and maintaining the secrecy of the training operations.
