A '''Combat Barrier''' is a mobile ground barrier used by [[United Nations Space Command]] forces. They can be deployed and set up relatively quickly to aid the defense of a strategic position. <ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', level ''[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level ''[[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref><ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level ''[[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]]''</ref>.

==Background==

Combat Barriers are placed and situated all around strategic locales as defensive mechanisms against enemy [[weapons]] flanking fire. Several types of barriers exist, but all are made of thick battle plating presumably made of titanium or titanium-ceramic [[armor]].

The purpose of combat barriers is to protect soldiers and [[Marines]] that are located in bases, dug-in fortifications, and other facilities, from the enemy. While they are almost impenetrable to [[plasma]] and projectile weapons, they do not protect well against the concussive force of an explosion such as a rocket or grenade impact, but do well to absorb shrapnel and flying debris.
