Blood Upon the Risers originated with the United States' Army Airborne Divisions in the early 1940s, whose paratroopers were among the first precursors to the ODSTs. It was something of an adaption itself being written to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic, but which unit it actually came from remains a matter of dispute. The song persisted just as the paratroopers did, whom had proved the value of their concept in the war and continued to exist as a part of many nations' standing armies. More than a few translations were created, and the song managed to survive the integration of Earth's armies during the formation of the United Earth Government and United Nations Space Command despite differing nationalities and languages.

  • Blood Upon the Risers originated with the United States' Army Airborne Divisions in the early 1940s, whose paratroopers were among the first precursors to the ODSTs. It was something of an adaption itself being written to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic, but which unit it actually came from remains a matter of dispute.

In December of 2163, the same year the UNSC was formed, the first extra-terrestrial deployment of Marines took place during the Argyre Planitia Campaign on Mars, leading to the creation of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers as Marines trained specifically for the task of ground-to-space deployments. After the end of the Interplanetary War in 2170, however, ODST units were seldom used as attention shifted to the problems of overpopulation and famine, and it wasn't until the beginnings of the Insurrection in the 2490s that Blood Upon His VISR and other adaptions became popular when demand for the specialized troops expanded their ranks. The songs have constantly changed to suit changing subjects, parachutes turning to SOIEVs and Insurrectionists gave way to the Covenant as their enemy, resulting in the already-dissonant versons growing farther apart. All, however, continue to share a common chorus to this day.
