The Army operates its own special forces branch, the [[Special Warfare Command]] (SPECWARCOM). Some [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]] are known to serve under the authority of this branch. For example, [[Noble Team]] served under [[Special Warfare Group Three]].<ref name="reach">'''Halo: Reach'''</ref><ref name="voc">[http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1085710 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: Just checked out the Essential Visual Guide'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', pages ''29, 62, 101, 103-105, 130, 139, 165''</ref> | The Army operates its own special forces branch, the [[Special Warfare Command]] (SPECWARCOM).

The UNSC Army maintains an [[UNSC Army Airborne|Airborne infantry formation]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory'' - MJOLNIR/AA variant description: ''"Entered service in 2535; the MJOLNIR/AA variant is exclusive to Army airborne units."''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref> The Airborne are deployed on aerial assault operations in advance of the regular infantry. Such operations include being deployed behind enemy lines, such as to disrupt enemy supply chains and to sabotage other operations; spearheading assaults, sometimes to establish an [[Wikipedia:Airhead|airhead]]; and performing reconnaissance deep within enemy-occupied territory. As with their US Army predecessors, the Airborne are likely an all-volunteer force that is considerably smaller than other combat elements, though they are presumably given more intensive training than the regular infantry. | The UNSC Army maintains an [[UNSC Army Airborne|Airborne infantry formation]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory'' - MJOLNIR/AA variant description: ''"Entered service in 2535; the MJOLNIR/AA variant is exclusive to Army airborne units."''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref> The Airborne are deployed on aerial assault operations in advance of the regular infantry.
