The Battle in Glacier Valley became a momentous conflict between what was left of the COG forces, after the fall of Jacinto, and a rising Stranded militia, commenced and staged by a fanatical former Gear, Sergeant Milliardo Morose, and his squad, Beta Five. Believing that the COG was originally set up by a mole, Colonel Hoffman coded all operations, only disclosing a few intel at a time to only a select few. With the assistance of the allied Feral, offering what was left of their forces, the COG was able to quash the militia before the weather worsened, potentially decimating all COG forces.
