The Army and Marine Corps share many matériel assets, though some of their weapons differ. The Army fields the [[MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System]] instead of the [[MA5B assault rifle|MA5B]] and [[MA5C assault rifle]]s as the standard [[assault rifle|assault weapon]]. By [[2557]], this would be ultimately replaced by the [[MA5D assault rifle]] when it was made the UNSC's standard-issue assault rifle.
