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 Individual Combat Weapon System|MA37 Assault Rifle]], and the [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|M392 DMR]].<ref>[[Letter - Re:UNSC Army]] | 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 known that the UNSC Army frequently patrols colony planets,<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' - Ackerson's remembrance</ref> but, they have never been named in any operations in [[Halo Universe|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 <ref>http://halostory.bungie.org/oconnor_mclees_080508.html</ref>. | It is known that the UNSC Army frequently patrols colony planets,<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' - Ackerson's remembrance</ref> but, they have never been named in any operations in [[Halo Universe|Halo canon]], apart from the [[Battle of Mare Erythraeum]] and [[Battle of Reach]].

The | 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 [[Jiralhanae|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|Covenant Loyalist forces]] in the [[Battle of Earth]].<ref>If Ackerson was leading it, then it could be an Army operation.</ref> | ||
