*The role of the Spartan Operations branch is similar to that of the United States' [[Wikipedia:Joint Special Operations Command|Joint Special Operations Command]] (which is a sub-unified command, but not an intendent military branch). It consists of the U.S. Armed Force's most highly trained special operators, including such units as the U.S. Army's [[Wikipedia:Delta Force|Delta Force]], the U.S. Navy's [[Wikipedia:United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group|SEAL Team Six]], and U.S. Air Force's [[Wikipedia:24th Special Tactics Squadron|24th Special Tactics Squadron]]. | *The role of the Spartan Operations branch is similar to that of the United States' [[Wikipedia:Joint Special Operations Command|Joint Special Operations Command]] (which is a sub-unified command, but not an intendent military branch).

*As depicted in Issue #7 of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', the [[:File:Escalation-Thorne_in_Spartan_dress_uniform.png|dress uniform]] for the Spartan branch is nearly identical to the [[:File:FUD Orenski Lasky Silva color adjust.jpg|service uniform]] used by the cadets at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]], only colored navy blue and black as opposed to the white and black coloration of the Corbulo uniforms. The uniforms seen in ''Escalation'' even incorporate the single lozenge used to identify freshman cadets at Corbulo; it is uncertain whether this holds any particular significance regarding the Spartans' rank or if it is simply a mistake. | *As depicted in Issue #7 of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', the [[:File:Escalation-Thorne_in_Spartan_dress_uniform.png|dress uniform]] for the Spartan branch is nearly identical to the [[:File:FUD Orenski Lasky Silva color adjust.jpg|service uniform]] used by the cadets at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]], only colored navy blue and black as opposed to the white and black coloration of the Corbulo uniforms.
