Their ability to infiltrate the UNSC ranks caused the UNSC to keep a small orbital force in the system to respond to rebel attacks. Another reason for their success was their location, which was extremely difficult and time-consuming to discover and was easily defended against even medium-scale assaults.

The usage of the term "United Rebel Front" in official media results from a widespread misinterpretation originally appearing on ''Halopedia''. The term was never used as a proper name in official material before its erroneous adoption by this wiki; this is because article titles on ''Halopedia'' were once capitalized as if they were proper nouns (''e.g.'' "UNSC Carrier"). The origin of this misconception is a singular reference to a "united rebel front" in ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' (p. 37), although the lowercase lettering indicates the term is simply a descriptor used to refer to the nature of the Insurrectionists in question as opposed to being a proper name of an organization or group.

This misunderstanding was carried over to the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'', as a sizable portion of the content in the book is ostensibly based on that of ''Halopedia''. For example, the rebel destroyer ''Origami'' is referred to as the "URF ''Origami''"; ''Halopedia'' had formerly titled the article as such, but the ship is only referred to as the ''Origami'' in the original source. ''The Story So Far'', a featurette from the Blu-ray version of ''Halo Legends'', explicitly identifies the United Rebel Front as a major Insurrectionist group. Furthermore, a reference to the "URF" is made in [[Halo: Reach radio conversations|''Halo: Reach'' radio conversations]], where it is used by a UNSC trooper to refer to the Insurrectionists. Most recently, the description for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Oceanic|Oceanic]] armor variant in ''Halo 4'' also mentions the "United Rebel Front". Although the name originates from a misunderstanding in the fanbase, the existence of the organization has since been canonized.
