Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Infobox Military Unit The UNSC Army is a branch of the UNSC Defense Force primarily responsible for land-based military operation.[1]
Background
Little is known about the UNSC Army, and this is probably due to the fact that the Army is a land based fighting force, and thus little of the Army is assigned to the UNSC Navy, with the exception of transport to other planets. It is also known that the UNSC Army uses different equipment such as the M6J Carbine, the MA37 Assault Rifle, and the M392 DMR.[2]
The Army, however was present during the Battle of Earth.
Role
Template:Conjecturalization It is known that the UNSC Army frequently patrols colony planets,[3] but, they have never been named in any operations in Halo canon, apart from the Battle of Mare Erythraeum and Battle of Reach. Unlike the Marines, which actively take the offensive against the enemy, the UNSC Army is largely used in defensive operations, garrisoning UNSC-held territory [4].
The several supposed UNSC Army operations could be the Battle of Mare Erythraeum where Colonel James Ackerson led an unknown number of Army infantry forces against the Brute Commander Lepidus on Mars and the Battle of Reach where some Army units assisted Noble Team. It is also highly likely that the Army fought against Covenant Loyalist forces in the Battle of Earth.[5]
