Ranger Morales' Corpse

 is both a body and a location in the Mojave Wasteland just to the east of REPCONN Headquarters. Its a map marker added when the player speaks to Pvt. Christina Morales who's located in the Camp McCarran Concourse. She is a sad woman in NCR armor sitting on the left of the concourse when the player enters from the Camp McCarran Terminal building. When speaking to her, you find out that her husband, an NCR Ranger had been killed in the line of duty, and that his body was not recovered. Agreeing to find the body of her husband starts the unmarked quest Retrieve the Corpse of Ranger Morales.

The Fiends created a honeypot with the corpse, surrounding it with snipers and traps, in order to kill more NCR who attempt to retrieve the body.

Layout
Ranger Morales' corpse is slightly to the northeast of REPCONN Headquarters.

The area consists of 3 buildings in a U shape around an open area with the corpse in the middle next to a flagpole. There is also a park bench. There's a dumpster off to the left. There are 3 ways into the area... you can come in from the REPCONN Headquarters side (safest, but you have to deal with a big sniper battle), come in from the traintracks side, but there's a trip mine and a rigged shotgun, or come in from the far side, where there are numerous bear traps. No matter which way you come in, unless your sneak skill is very high, you will probably have to deal with the snipers.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
When the two NCR troopers at the roadblock stop you, the second response option you get is "I made a promise to Private Morales." This line and the whole quest could be seen as a reference to the Western film "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" (2005)
