UNSC Army: Difference between revisions

Little is known about the UNSC Army, which is probably due to the fact that the Army is almost exclusively a land-based fighting force, and thus little of the Army is attached to the [[UNSC Navy]]. What is known is that the UNSC Army uses different equipment from the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], examples of such being the [[M6J Carbine]], the [[MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System]],the M390B Special Operations Assualt Rifle (used by the army's eliet pathfinder units) and the [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle]], in contrast to the [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5B]]/[[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5C assault rifles]] and [[BR55 Battle Rifle]] in use with the Marines.<ref>'''[[Letter - Re:UNSC Army]]'''</ref> Soldiers of the UNSC Army wear the [[UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform]], which incorporates many modular components shared by other branches of the UNSC Defense Forces.
