A '''pack''' is a small tribal and military group of [[Jiralhanae]] led by a pack leader, usually a [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] or [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Major]]. Each member of a pack is hand-picked by its leader.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref> Packs are organized under [[Master-pack]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 194''</ref>

Prior to the [[Great Schism]], [[Covenant]] infantry were grouped into [[lance]]s, each led by a [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]] or [[Sangheili Major|Major]] [[Sangheili]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]''</ref> After the Sangheili left the Covenant and the Jiralhanae assumed their former places, the packs traditional to the Jiralhanae's tribal society became the most prominent infantry unit.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'''</ref>
After the [[Sangheili]] left the Covenant in [[Great Schism]] and the Jiralhanae assumed their former places, the packs traditional to the Jiralhanae's tribal society became the most prominent infantry unit in addition to the [[lance]]s, now led by lower-ranked Jiralhanae.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'''</ref>

The lowest order of packs are comprised of four or five [[Unggoy]], occasionally with two or three [[Kig-Yar]] added, normally led by Jiralhanae [[Jiralhanae Minor|Minors]], [[Jiralhanae Major|Majors]], [[Brute Ultra|Ultras]] and lower-ranked [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captains]] in battle. A [[Unggoy Heavy]] will sometimes be present to set up or man a [[Type-52 plasma cannon]] or to operate a [[Shade]] turret for heavy suppression.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref>{{Citation needed}}<!--A reference is required for the claim that lance-like military units led by Jiralhanae are also termed as "packs".-->
Whereas Jiralhanae up to the [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] ranks lead lances comprised of other species, packs are all-Jiralhanae units led almost exclusively by higher-ranked Captains. These are mostly comprised of Minors and lower-ranked Captains, and are usually considerably larger than a mixed-race pack.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref>
 
Higher than that are all-Jiralhanae packs, led almost exclusively by higher-ranked Captains. These are mostly comprised of Minors and lower-ranked Captains, and are usually considerably larger than a mixed-race pack.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref>


At the highest echelons of the Jiralhanae pack structure are smaller packs led by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains]]. These are usually comprised of [[Jiralhanae Bodyguard|Bodyguards]] and/or [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Stalkers]], and may include lesser races, such as [[Unggoy Ultra|Ultra Grunts]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>
