:It is possible that they are a special forces branch under the Air Force's control, though I suppose it is also equally likely that they are just Marine or Army personnel with non-standard armour (Personally I'd say they were Marines - the army appears a lot more grounded in the 26th century). Do we have a good screenshot of the other BDUs to compare? If you feel that the differences are different enough I suppose you could create "Unidentified special forces unit (UPPER CUT)" and describe the differences there.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 09:07, 16 June 2011 (EDT) | :It is possible that they are a special forces branch under the Air Force's control, though I suppose it is also equally likely that they are just Marine or Army personnel with non-standard armour (Personally I'd say they were Marines - the army appears a lot more grounded in the 26th century).

:: | ::Here's an AMX pilot from ToTS, and here's one of the soldiers from LNoS. It's one of the Sabre crewmen, but the team on the Pelican wear the same armor.

:::There's a corporal with a radio-back wearing a brown version of the suit. However, I doubt that Bungie would have confused the two - why put a radio man on a plane? It would appear that they are wearing Air Force uniform. It doubt, further, that Bungie would use the skin consistently in the wrong way whey intended it to have a specific use (eg. fly vehicles). It could be that the military uses Air Force pilots for all sub-orbital craft like NASA in its early years, due to the similarity of controls. However, the reason for the ''armed'' airmen and the uniform of the Pelican boarders makes me think that this could be a specialist branch of the Air Force trained for boarding action.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 09:38, 16 June 2011 (EDT) | :::There's a corporal with a radio-back wearing a brown version of the suit.

::::I guess the pilots are either Navy or Air Force; the boarding party probably were Marines who were just carried aboard by the Sabres like how Jorge was taken to Anchor 9 by Noble Six. Odds are whoever the pilots for the other Sabres were, they didn't participate in the boarding action. They just dropped off whoever was riding with them then left. | |||
==Insignia?== | |||
We recently got the insignias for both the Navy and the Army. None for the Air Force or Marine Corps though, any reason as to why?[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 23:54, 6 January 2016 (EST) | |||

::Yep. The only reason we were lucky to get ones for the Army and Navy is due to that ''Halo 5'' promotional video (can't remember which one) that shows the insignia for each branch/organization each member of Osiris originally came from (Army for Tanaka, Navy for Vale, ODST for Buck, and ONI for Locke). --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 23:58, 6 January 2016 (EST) | |||
