+A '''file''' is an organizational unit of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military]], consisting of low-tier warriors under the command of an officer.<ref name="sg">[[Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview]]</ref>
-A '''File''' is the smallest infantry unit within the [[Covenant]]. The group appears to be made up of around four to five [[Grunts]]<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 61</ref> or [[Jackal]]s. <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]] page 155</ref> A File is commanded by a [[Major Grunt]], a [[Major Jackal]],  a [[Minor Elite]], or a [[Minor Brute]]. A file is the Covenant equivalent to a UNSC squad. A [[lance]] is the unit above a File.

+==Organization==
+===Overview===
+A file is an administrative grouping of low-tier warriors under the command of an officer.{{Ref/Reuse|sg}} The commander of the file is referred to as a "file leader".<ref name="flood333">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', Chapter 11, ''pages 296-299'' (2003 paperback); ''pages 330-333'' (2010 paperback)</ref>
-== References ==
+A file is larger than a [[lance]], with a single file of Unggoy being more dangerous than a combat lance; a single {{Pattern|Pnap|Goblin}} is considered more powerful than a lance of Unggoy, but not a file of similar composition.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-buzz-generating '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Buzz Generating'']</ref> A file is roughly analogous to a [[squad]];<ref name="infinity">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-infinity-beyond '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Infinity & Beyond'']</ref> some definitions compare lances to squads,<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/community-update-summer-red-summer-blue '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Summer Red, Summer Blue'']</ref> though they are actually more comparable to the smaller [[fireteam]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|sg}}{{Ref/Reuse|infinity}}

+===Composition===
+The composition of a file is quite diverse, ranging from five [[Unggoy]] led by an Unggoy,<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', Chapter 1, ''pages 32-33'' (2003 paperback); ''page 35'' (2010 paperback)</ref> to around twenty [[Kig-Yar]] led by an Unggoy,{{Ref/Reuse|flood333}} to five [[Special Operations Sangheili]] led by an [[Special Operations Officer|Officer]].<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', Chapter 8, ''page 214'' (2003 paperback); ''page 238'' (2010)</ref>
