During the early stages of the landings, the UNSC Navy dropped units of the 19th Shock Troops Battalion on top of a hill outside Agley. The rebels, who had spotted the fiery trails left by the battalion's SOEIV pods, prepared for combat. Oliver Graham, the rebel commander, had his troops wait until the ODST's had clustered together and began preparing to fortify the area to attack, driving the troopers off the hill. Fighting from makeshift bunkers, for several hours, thanks to a rebel air attack that morning on the UNSC landing site, Graham's rebels were able to hold out. However, as UNSC naval aviation began providing air support to the ODST's, Graham's rebels, now numbering barely over fifteen, were forced to retreat into the wilderness, allowing the UNSC to use Hill 239 as an important observation post during the Battle of Agley.
