Summary
Following the end of Human-Covenant War and the Great Schism, the infrastructure of the Covenant was left in shambles. Seeking to further destabilized the crumbling Covenant empire, the UNSC initiated a series of covert operations to eliminate potential leaders in scattered Covenant regimes.

In 2553, Spartan Dominique Carrows and two members of Fireteam Regal were deployed to eliminate a key Elite target on a distant Covenant controlled world. The pelican carrying the Spartans was shot down far from the original target and the resulting crash killed the entire crew except Carrows. After regaining consciousness, Carrows scavenged the crash site and then burned the bodies of his comrades. After marking their graves with an Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle respectively. Carrows departed the crash site alone, armed only with a standard issue sniper rifle. Over the course of two days, Carrows ventured across the planet to the prospective targets location. Along the way, he endured inclement weather, varying environments and even killed several covenant forces.

Eventually, the spartan reached his target location and dispatched the Elite.

Impact in the AMU
The events of Last Man Standing take place in 2553, nearly two years before the events of Huntress. Last Man Standing also focuses solely on the experiences of Dominique Carrows on a isolated assignment. Subsequently, the Last Man Standing holds no major impact in the AMU other than introducing Carrows as an individual and his relationship with Fireteam Regal.
