In a well-known paper, Hall and Higman proved the reduction theorem on a coprime order operator group acting on a finite group. This theorem plays an important role in local analysis of finite group theory. In this paper, we generalize the Hall-Higman reduction theorem by dropping the restrictive hypothesis (|G|, |H|) = 1 and determine the detailed structure of G completely.
