Reach was a planet under UNSC control that was the biggest producer of their frigates, warships, prowlers, etc.
But it also contained relics that the covenate really wanted. They wanted said relics enough to send 100 or more warships ( I think it was alot more then that I'll have to check).
In an attempt to defend reach most of the spartans (a little more then 200 give or take) were sent to defend it where after all of the fighting the planet simply got glassed and most of the spartans died.
Read the book Halo: The Fall of Reach. That should explain any question you may have I'm sure.
only 25 spartans went to the ground
