| - The Mamore Eagles was an Insurrectionist aerial unit based out of the arctic regions on Mamore, out of an abandoned airfield formerly used by the Colonial Administration Authority's weather aircraft to study various storms, but the site was abandoned and struck from airport registries in 2520, after the CAA bureau on Mamore was stripped of a large chunk of its funding. The site was discovered less than two years later by Insurrectionist units based around it, and it was reported to the United Rebel Front. Enlisting the aid of Insurrectionist groups in the area, the URF reactivated the base, and relocated its most precious aircraft, specifically two F-56 Hawk fighter-bombers recently stolen off of the factory line, to the base, along with a security contingent. Renaming themselves the Mamore Eagles, the group would lay ambushes for UNSC aerial convoys that frequented the area. However, these attacks were only carried out during storms in the area, so as to prevent UNSC Navy ships from spotting where the fighters went, and to conserve supplies that were needed to fly the fighters. In 2536, the rebels captured a B-22 Lancer II, and based it out of the airbase. The Mamore Eagles came to an end after the Battle of Mato Grosso, when a stricken F-56 accidentally led the UNSC to the base, allowing them to bomb it, rendering it inoperable, and killing most of the personnel stationed there.
