 However, while this structure was applicable to the role of the pack within the Covenant, this was the result of an attempt by the [[Prophet of Truth]] to fuse the traditional Brute social structures with pre-existing military traditions already in place and long-defined by [[Sangheili]] pre-Covenant structure. For most of their tenure within the Covenant military, Brute packs operated as insular units with a notable uncooperative nature toward the orders of their non-Chieftain superiors, leading to them being deployed wholesale as shock infantry units with a perchance for excessive violence.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=240}} This changed with the [[Changing of the Guard]] and the ascension of the Jiralhanae to the Covenant's primary military caste. Following this upheaval, combat-oriented packs were often led by [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]]s, [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Major]]s or [[Jiralhanae Captain Ultra|Captain Ultra]]s, who led the pack in battle.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} [[Jiralhanae Minor|Minors]], [[Jiralhanae Major|Major]]s and [[Jiralhanae Ultra|Ultras]] formed the bulk of standard pack infantry under their Captain or Chieftain superiors, and in turn were charged with leading [[lance]]s of lesser-caste species.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} The Jiralhanae assigned to [[pilot]]ing Covenant aerospace [[Space fighter|strike craft]] such as the [[Seraph]] often formed close-knit packs, carving their clan sigils into the hulls of their war machines and fighting, eating and dying alongside one another.{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=58-59}}
-Following the Covenant's collapse into [[Great Schism|collapse]] and eventual fall, many of the Covenant-implemented [[Covenant rank structure|military ranks]] such as Minor and Major were abandoned by the Jiralhanae for a return to their traditional roots. Within the military forces of the [[Banished]], the role of the pack remains largely independent, as [[Atriox]] seeks to prioritise individual autonomy over blind adherence to a limiting structure as in the Covenant. As such, packs display much greater variation across the organisation,{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=448}} though some trends are notable. Within the Banished military hierarchy, packs occupy a position similar to that of a lance - a constituent unit of a [[combat element]], which in turn comprises a clan.{{Ref/Reuse|HVT}} The Banished have not completely abandoned the older Covenant military structure, though have adapted it to their own usage; for example the Banished retain the title of Captain, with these low command officers tasked with leading raiding packs for the Banished.{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}}
