The '''Sol Defense Group 3/A-5''' is a [[battle group]] of the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]].{{Ref/Film|Id=lf|Film=Halo: Landfall|Story=[[Halo: Arms Race|Arms Race]]}}


==History==
Sol Defense Group 3/A-5 is a [[Battle Group]] of the [[UNSC]]. The only information for this group comes from the [[Halo: Arms Race]] promotional [[Halo 3]] video released on June 10th, 2007. Very little can be taken from this video and used as hard information, but there are some things that can be assumed.
===Battle for Earth===
The group at the time of the initial [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Earth|attack on Earth]] consisted of two active ships out of eight. Two {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} were docked planetside. Since their readiness levels was registered as "critical", the group requested for rearmament from the [[Misriah Armory]] factories on [[Mars]]. The movement of cruisers dock may suggest that it was about to be launched.{{Ref/Reuse|lf}}


The Marine unit designated [[S4/BAG/2/5]] was assigned to the battle group.{{Ref/Reuse|lf}}
The group likely was engaged in combat with the [[Covenant]] in the First and/or Second [[Battle of Earth]], as shown by the text in the video saying it has 2 ships out of 8. The group requests rearmament since it's readiness level is critical. Factories from the Misriah armory on Mars then are shown producing equipment for the Battle Group, which likely not only uses it ships for space combat, but also assists [[Marines]] in ground engagements since the production of Marine vehicles ([[Warthogs]] and [[Pelicans]]) and weapons ([[Sniper Rifles]],[[Battle Rifles]], and [[M6D HE Magnum Sidearm]]s) are shown.  


==List of appearances==
Specifically, the Marine unit (of unknown size) called [[S4/BAG/2/5]] could be assigned to the Battle Group, as it is seen in the video. The Marines themselves are seen in the trailer preparing for combat, and at least one ([[Benjamin M. Nunez]]) is not a recruit, while the other Marine(s) pictured likely are.

The term Sol Defense Group 3 is likely a large group, or [[fleet]], of the UNSC, and A-5 is possibly a specific designation for the Battle Group.
