Based on the organizational structure of the units involved, | Based on the organizational structure of the units involved, approximately 6,700 soldiers and an equal or greater number of Marines were deployed across the theater.{{Ref/Note|Judging by the numbers of regiments in the three brigades, it is likely that the UNSC Army uses an organization similar to [[Wikipedia:British Army|British]] and [[Wikipedia:Regiment#Commonwealth armies|Commonwealth]] regiments. Based on that particular unit hierarchy, these formations have at least a minimum of 500 soldiers serving within each of these regiments. Alternately, the Army may use the [[Wikipedia:Brigade Combat Team|Brigade Combat Team]] organization first used in the early 21st century by the [[Wikipedia:United States Army|United States Army]] judging by the number of regiments/battalions and companies within each of the brigades. Based modern [[Wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps]] organization, at least 800 to 1,200 Marines and sailors serve within a single battalion, resulting in anywhere between 6,400 and 9,600 Marines may have participated in the Viery campaign.}} | ||
