==Brigades by military==
==Composition==
===Covenant===
In the [[UNICOM]] [[UNSC rank structure#UNICOMK ranks|rank structure]], a brigade is commanded by an O-6 [[Colonel]].<ref name="OSFM142">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', PART 8: UNSC ORGANISATION, UNICOM Ranks (p. 142-143)</ref> However in the case of the [[24th Marine Engineering Brigade]], a [[Brigadier General]]; [[Artur Pahlavi]] served as the unit commander.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=3}} Brigades typically employ around five thousand personnel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}}
The Covenant use brigades or an equivalent thereof - with [[legion]]s likely fulfilling this similar role.{{Ref/Note|In ''Halo: Oblivion'', the only usage of the term brigade in relation to the Covenant is through the perspective of humans. As such, it is likely that these analogous groupings are given different, currently-unknown terminology within the Covenant proper. Legions have a similar personnel count to a brigade, making them the most likely equivalent.}} Most Covenant brigades or brigade-equivalents include a light [[company]] of roughly one-hundred [[Yanme'e]] to serve as scouts.{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}}
 
===Mesra===
The [[Militia of Mesra]] had multiple brigade-level units. Most were destroyed during the eight-day [[Battle of Mesra]].{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}}
