Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Marines

Basic infantry units who can take-and-hold fortifications or activate Forerunner

artifacts.

UNSC Marine infantry are armed with assault rifles that are effective against

infantry but deal little damage against ground vehicles. They can receive

additional reinforcements and supplies in the field, including the ability to throw

grenades or assigning a combat mechanic to the squad. The mechanic will

automatically repair nearby damaged vehicles and is armed with an anti-tank

rocket launcher.

Marines are the UNSC's expeditionary force-in-readiness, and after decades in

cryo-sleep they are old school both figuratively and literally. The Spirit of Fire's

veteran Marines are experienced at fighting in exotic environments and have

received training by Anders to operate Forerunner systems well enough to

avoid triggering defense wards and immolating themselves [most of the time].
