A typical task force consisting of several Covenant ships.

A task force is an organization of ships. Unlike fleets which are usually more permanent units, task forces are usually organized on a temporary basis and created for a specific mission. In the UNSC, task forces are generally known as battle groups.

Examples

• A Covenant task force was sent to Harvest in 2531. It numbered less than a dozen vessels.

• Another Covenant task force, the Fleet of Sacred Consecration, was sent to Earth, led by the Prophet of Regret. Regret's intent was to claim the Forerunner Artifact buried under the planet, but it was defeated in the Battle of Earth. It consisted of two CAS-class assault carriers and thirteen CCS-class battlecruisers.

• Voro Nar 'Mantakree was put in charge of a task force by Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree to pursue the captured Bloodied Spirit. Most of this fleet was destroyed during the Battle of Onyx.
