| '''Task forces''' are a fleet composition element employed by the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref name="fb9">''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'', Cole Rulebook - p.9''</ref>

| ==Composition==
| |
| Task forces are typically interchangeable with [[battle group]]s, being ad-hoc fighting forces formed from Naval [[UNSC Navy tactical formations|tactical formations]].{{Ref/Reuse|fb9}} In at least one instance, a task force was formed as a subdivision of a battle group - in [[2526]], [[Task Force Yama]] - a force consisting of three [[squadron]]s of [[Prowler]]s - split off from [[Battle Group X-Ray]] under the orders of Vice Admiral [[Preston Cole]]. Yama was commanded by [[Captain]] [[Halima Ascot]].<ref name="silentstorm5">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 5</ref>

| Some task forces were organised into a "wolf pack" configuration consisting of only {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}}s. These "wolf pack" units carried no [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] complements.<ref name="hochapter4">''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'', Chapter 4</ref>

| ==Purpose==
| |
| {{Conjecture}}
| |
| In the real world, task forces are typically formed on a temporary basis comprised of multiple units with the purpose of accomplishing a single task or mission. While the full functions of task forces in the ''Halo'' universe have yet to be described, the purpose of Task Force Yama - to harass and disrupt Covenant supply lines in the early war - seems to keep the modern day interpretation of the concept more-or-less intact.
