The '''UNSC Armed Forces''' are the military forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]], consisting of the [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]], [[UNSC Army|Army]], [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and the newly-established [[Spartan Operations]]; which serve as a joint air, land, and space force.<ref name="interview">[http://halostory.bungie.org/oconnor_mclees_080508.html ''halo.bunige.org'': Frank O'Connor/Robt McLees Interview - August 2008]</ref> Spartan Operations is the newest branch of the UNSC Armed Forces, commissioned for special operations exclusively for all [[Spartan-IV]]s and select [[Spartan-III]]s after the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="Waypoint story">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/story/6eeabce4-dc80-4aa3-b2aa-2f5d123b7514 ''Halo Waypoint'': Story] (defunct)</ref>
 
==History==
===Interplanetary War===
The UNSC Armed Forces were created during the [[Interplanetary War]], fighting in a series of brutal conflicts across the Solar System and humanity's space confines between [[2160]] and [[2164]], most prominently among them the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]], the [[Rain Forest Wars]], and a [[Argyre Planitia Campaign|series of battles]] on [[Mars]].<ref name="xbox">''Xbox.com'': The Halo Timeline (defunct, [[Archive:Xbox.com/Halo/Timeline|Archived]])</ref> These encounters were centered around UN clashes with dissident political movements, the most important of which were the [[Koslovics]] and the [[Frieden]].
 
The war began with an attack on [[United Nations colonial advisers]] on the moon of [[Io]], one of the moons of [[Jupiter]], but would spread to Mars and parts of [[South America]] in the [[Rain Forest Wars]]. These events culminated in a UN build-up in the mid to late 2160s, which would result in the UN establishing a unified military and a permanent [[Unified Earth Government]] as an ultimate power to lead the human race by [[2170]].<ref name="xbox"/><ref name="timeline">[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Timeline.aspx ''Official Halo Wars Community Site'': Timeline] (defunct, [[Archive:Halowars.com/Timeline|Archived]])</ref>
 
===Insurrection===
In the aftermath of the war, following the invention of the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] in the late 2200s and the discovery of [[Slipstream space]], the Unified Earth Government began a colonization programme that saw [[human]]ity [[Domus Diaspora|spreading out]] from the [[Sol system]]. The apex of human colonization would come in [[2492]], when more then 800 worlds were inside UNSC territory and a handful of them were under development or had already developed into colonies. By this time, a ring of [[Outer Colonies]] was providing the UEG with the raw materials that made the macro-economy work; the political power, however, remained with the aforementioned [[Inner Colonies]]. The massive difference in wealth distribution and political power, which became a hallmark of humanity by this period, led to new threats of secession from the outer ring. Fearing the consequences of the breakup of the interstellar empire and seeing the benefits of avoiding all-out war to defend their hold on the colonies, the Earth government would establish the [[ORION Project]] in [[2491]].<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref><ref name="Reach">''Halo: Reach''</ref><ref>''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''</ref>
 
===The Human-Covenant War===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
[[2525]] marked the most important turning point in human history; it would mark the beginning of the great technological advancement, the unification of a divided and fractured human race, and the [[Halo: Contact Harvest|first contact]] of humanity and an extra-terrestrial intelligence, the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. It would also see a majority of the Earth government's colony worlds destroyed, and billions of colonists and military personnel slaughtered by orbital plasma bombardment and planetary invasion, known as [[glassing]]. Thus began the Human-Covenant War with the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. Intercepted communications identified the enemy as the Covenant, a caste-driven, theological organization made up of several alien species. The message "''Your destruction is the will of the gods...and we are their instrument''" was broadcast in perfect [[English]].<ref name="Reach"/>
 
Since the later [[Second Battle of Harvest]] in [[2526]], where a huge human fleet led by [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] barely won against a smaller [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] fleet in a symbolic "victory" for humanity, the humans' grip on their territories declined significantly in the course of their struggle. The Covenant had managed to capture the majority, if not all of the [[Outer Colonies]], and a portion of the [[Inner Colonies]].
 
By this time, the UNSC had overridden the UEG, and thus the central civilian authority throughout the human worlds and Earth itself. Although the central government was more willing to step down, the [[Colonial Administration Authority]] was far more reluctant to this idea, and thus the UNSC stripped it of most of its power. By the middle to late stages of the war, the government of humanity could be more accurately described as an "emergency military" government.
 
By [[2552]], the UNSC, outnumbered and outgunned, had managed to slow down the Covenant's inexorable progress through former human space, but the situation was dire. In desperation, [[UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM]] ordered a [[Operation: RED FLAG|high-risk op]], sending the Spartan-II supersoldiers, the best soldiers ever fielded by humanity, to insert into Covenant space, capture a high-ranking [[San'Shyuum|Prophet]], and return to UNSC space in an attempt to ransom for a truce. Before the operation began, the Covenant attacked the planet [[Reach]], killing most of the Spartans and a large portion of the UNSC Armed Forces, inadvertently stopping the operation and rendering most of the Spartans [[MIA]].<ref name="Reach"/>
 
A single ship, the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} managed to escape the planet. The ship followed coordinates derived by the AI [[Cortana]] to a ringworld known as [[Installation 04|Halo]]. There, the UNSC forces encountered a parasitic lifeform known as [[the Flood]], the species that the ring, [[Halo Array|Halo]], had been built to starve. The activation of the ring would lead to the extinction of all life within three radii of the galactic center. Spartan [[John-117]] destroyed the ring, believing it to be too powerful, by detonation of the [[fusion drive]]s of the ''Pillar of Autumn''. After hijacking a Covenant flagship ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', the Spartan reunited with the remaining survivors from Installation 04 and the destruction of Reach and attacked a force of Covenant ships in [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], one of the most successful UNSC operations against the Covenant in the entire war.<ref name="Halo: First Strike">''[[Halo: First Strike]]''</ref>
 
By October of [[2552]], the Covenant had haphazardly discovered the position of the human home world, Earth, and sent a preliminary task force there, believing it to be the location of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], an ancient Forerunner relic. They encountered staunch resistance, and were initially fended off. Further complications arose from the political and religious crisis that emerged in the wake of a UNSC operation to assassinate the [[Prophet of Regret]], and the secession of the [[Sangheili]] from the hegemony, leading to the [[Great Schism]], further throwing the Covenant into chaos. Nevertheless, by November, what was left of the Covenant had subjugated large parts of Africa in addition to devastating much of the planet. Only their retreat through a Forerunner [[The Portal|portal]] in [[Africa]], and the arrival of the [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution|fleet]], stopped the utter destruction of the UNSC and Earth itself.<ref name="cairo">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[Cairo Station]]</ref><ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', campaign level [[Crow's Nest]]</ref>
 
The UNSC and the Sangheili forces launched a joint operation to destroy the Covenant once and for all at the Ark, stopping the installation from firing the Halos, killing the Covenant's last remaining leader, the [[Prophet of Truth]], and destroying the bulk of the Covenant's remaining forces. On [[2553|March 3, 2553]], the Human-Covenant War was officially declared over, ending in a victory for the UNSC and the Sangheili, but at a high price, with most major military outposts destroyed except for Earth. An estimated twenty-three billion human civilians were killed between 2525 and 2553.<ref>''Halo 3''</ref>
 
===Post-war===
{{Main|Post-Covenant War conflicts}}
Following the end of the war, the UNSC Armed Forces were faced with new threats in the form of various [[Covenant remnants]] which arose to oppose humanity, the most prominent of these being [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]. On many worlds, resurgent [[Insurrectionist]] movements also proceeded to resume their operations against the UNSC. In [[2557]], these irregular conflicts were joined by a new threat: the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], a renegade Forerunner [[Promethean]] who was accidentally released by Spartan [[John-117]] on [[Requiem]]. Planning on digitizing all of humanity with a device known as the [[Composer]], the Didact [[New Phoenix Incident|attacked Earth]]. The Master Chief was eventually able to defeat the Promethean commander, although not before the citizens of [[New Phoenix]] were enslaved.<ref>''[[Halo 4]]''</ref>

==Organization==
===Command organization===
The Armed Forces are the major organization within the [[United Nations Space Command]], which in of itself takes orders from the [[Unified Earth Government]] (UEG), a governing body that covers military, exploratory and scientific agencies. While the UNSC as a whole encompasses major other departments such as the [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping]] and [[UNSC Astronavigation]], the Armed Forces are specifically the UNSC's (and thus, the UEG's) military arm. As of [[2558]], the UNSC Armed Forces are divided into a joint staff known as [[UNSC High Command]] (HIGHCOM) and six departments. HIGHCOM makes its in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] in [[Sydney]], with a senior leadership council comprised of the senior officer of every military department, collectively known as the [[UNSC Security Council]].<ref name="OSFM120"/> HIGHCOM has a number of sub-commands including [[UNSC Personnel Command|PERSCOM]] and [[UNSC Astrophysics]]. Committees such as the [[UNSC Ordnance Committee]] ensure quality in Armed Forces equipment and personnel. Additionally, all members of the Armed Forces are expected to follow the UNSC's [[Constitution]].<ref>''Halo 4 Infinity Challenge'' Enlistment Verification</ref><ref>''Halo 4 Global Championship, 2013'' Enlistment Verification</ref>
 
===The Armed Forces===
The six military departments comprise the [[UNSC Army|Army]], the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], the [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]], and the recently formed [[Spartan Operations]],<ref name="OSFM120">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', UNSC Organization - p.120</ref> with all but the Office of Naval Intelligence compromising the UNSC Armed Forces' five service branches.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/unsc ''Halo Waypoint'': UNSC]</ref> These military forces are, in turn, organised into two unified combatant commands; [[UNSC Naval Command]] (NAVCOM) and [[Unified Ground Command]] (UNICOM). NAVCOM oversees all space-based assets and operations, particularly those of the Navy.<ref name="OSFM122">''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual'', Naval Command and Unified Ground Command - p.122-123</ref> The Navy is divided into three major commands, being [[UNSC Fleet Command]] for oversight of movement and assignment of naval spacecraft, [[UNSC Special Forces|Naval Special Warfare]] (NAVSPECWAR) for oversight of Naval special forces and [[Logistical Operations Command]] (NavLogCom), for ensuring the delivery of parts, food and fuel to UNSC Naval installations.<ref name="OSFM124">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', Navy - p.124-126</ref> The Office of Naval Intelligence, while technically subordinate to the Navy, has encompassed all intelligence services of the UEG, and takes orders directly from (or, just as commonly, gives orders to) HIGHCOM. ONI is divided into four sections (numbered Sections 0-3), each with their own responsibilities.
 
The UNSC Army, Air Force and Marine Corps assets are administered by UNICOM, responsible for coordinating terrestrial and close-orbit missions. The Marine Corps works alongside the Navy and Air Force to rapidly deploy onto other worlds from space.<ref name="OSFM132">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', Marine Corps Missions - p.132</ref> The Army serves as a heavy ground force, deploying the majority of soldiers in ground campaigns and serving to defend territory from invading forces.<ref name="OSFM133">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', Army - p.133</ref>
 
The Air Force is tasked with maintaining close-orbit defense, employing a range of defensive satellites and [[orbital defense platform]]s as well as a multitude of combat aircraft, including unmanned drones such as the [[F-99 Wombat]]. Within the Air Force are a number of major commands tasked with different administrative and operational roles. Among these are the [[Air Combat Command]], which is tasked with gaining air superiority and providing support for ground forces, and the [[Wikipedia:Air Mobility Command|Air Mobility Command]], which contains [[Air Mobility Express]], assigned to airlift materiél and personnel during wartime.<ref name="Reach"/><ref>[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/air+mobility+express "The Free Dictionary" article on 'AMX']</ref>
 
Operational control of UNICOM and NAVCOM groupings is exercised through one of four regional [[Central Command]]s (CENTCOMs), which have responsibility over certain areas of space.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', p.34</ref> These regions are known as "CentCom Regions", designated by select groupings of [[slipspace]] routes. Forces from one CENTCOM region may not be moved to another without authorization from HIGHCOM, meaning regional commanders must consider their force deployments wisely.<ref name="OSFM122"/> After 2553, the Spartan branch was formed; it is responsible for command of [[Wikipedia:Special operations|special operations]] undertaken by the [[SPARTAN-III|third]] and [[SPARTAN-IV|fourth]] generations of [[Spartan]] supersoldiers.<ref name="Waypoint story"/> The Spartans are the smallest operational component in the entire Armed Forces.
 
The '''UNSC Defense Force''' ('''UNSCDF''') is a subdivision of the Armed Forces that includes the majority of the UNSC Army, Air Force, [[Colonial Militia]],<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', cover art ([[:File:SSgt Avery Johnson, UNSC Marine Corps.JPG|UNSCDF emblem on SSgt Johnson's cap]])</ref> and elements of the Navy and Marine Corps. As its name implies, the Defense Force is charged with occupying territory as a defensive force.<ref name="interview"/> The Armed Forces also include an organization with the acronym '''UNSCEF''', which is known to encompass at least UNSC Navy and Marine Corps assets.<ref>'''Halo 2''', M247 machine gun tripod decal ([[:File:M247 1.png|File link]])</ref><ref>''[[The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World]]'', p.159</ref><ref group="note">It is possible, though unconfirmed, that "UNSCEF" stands for "UNSC Expeditionary Force(s)" as this would effectively contrast the defensive role of the UNSCDF, and match with the military assets with which the "UNSCEF" label has been associated with the uniforms of the crewmen of the frigate {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} and a UNSC Marine Corps M247 machine gun).</ref>
 
==Origins==
The four major components of the UNSC Armed Forces, as well as the Office of Naval Intelligence, can trace most of their organizational and traditional lineage to the 21st century [[Wikipedia:United States Armed Forces|United States Armed Forces]]. The rank and unit hierarchies are almost unchanged from their American counterparts, though they have been adjusted to account for new formations such as the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s and the Spartans. Service, dress, and battle uniforms are generally similar in design to their forebears but feature design elements introduced in the intervening five centuries; [[UNSC Marine Corps Dress Uniform#Blue dress|some]] [[UNSC Navy uniforms#White dress|versions]], however, are nearly identical to those of the US military. Many medals and ribbons have been carried over directly, though several new honors, such as the [[Colonial Cross]], have been added.
 
However, the UNSC Armed Forces feature some major differences from the US Armed Forces. The most prevalent difference is that non-commissioned officers, regardless of gender, may be addressed as "Sir"; an NCO with a command billet may even be addressed as such by service members of equivalent or higher rank,<ref>''Halo Wars'', campaign levels [[Anders' Signal]] and [[Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape]]</ref> though this likely shows a measure of respect rather than protocol. In the US military, use of the term "Sir" was reserved for male commissioned officers. Marines are often addressed as "Soldier", both by outsiders and within their own ranks;<ref>''Halo: Combat Evolved'', campaign level [[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]</ref> in the USMC, referring to Marines as "soldiers" was considered taboo. Perhaps due to the universality of the term "soldier", Army personnel are typically identified as "Trooper"; this appellation is also given to Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
 
==Equipment==
[[File:HE18-Pelicanbay.png|Various ballistic armor used by the Armed Forces in 2556.|right|thumb|250px]]
Unlike the Covenant, the UNSC Armed Forces' military technology is still based on comparatively primitive mechanisms - projectile weaponry, wheeled vehicles, and combustion engines. The UNSC Armed Forces' grasp of certain scientific concepts is more advanced than the Covenant, but turning these concepts into functional machinery has proven more problematic. Recently, the UNSC has introduced a variety of Covenant-derived technologies into their arsenal: gravity plating aboard ships, [[energy shields]] to protect Spartans, and limited use of [[directed-energy weapon]]s, usually lasers, for example, the [[M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle]], though the Covenant still retain their technological advantage.
 
UNSC starship weaponry is based around [[Archer Missile|missiles]] and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s. Their technological inferiority in the face of the Covenant means that it was often necessary for the UNSC to have a three-to-one numerical advantage against them in ship-to-ship combat. The UNSC also possesses a weapon of mass destruction in the form of the [[NOVA bomb]].
 
==Installations==
The UNSC Armed Force maintain a number of [[:Category:UNSC military bases|military installations]] across human colonies. Prior to its destruction in 2552, [[Reach]] served as the UNSC's military hub, with over 385 million military personnel on hand to defend the planet.
 
==Recruitment==
As of [[2540]], the UNSC Armed Forces both conscripted personnel and accepted voluntary enlistment.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/heavy-weapons-specialist-dutch/5aaa10a7-9a34-44bc-884b-2d9443561b68 ''Halo Waypoint'' - Heavy Weapons Specialist Dutch] (defunct, [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Characters#Heavy Weapons Specialist Dutch|Archived]])</ref><ref>''Halo 3: ODST'' - Mickey's Firefight biography</ref> It is unclear whether the draft was in effect prior to the Covenant War or if was instated later. UNSC enlisted personnel were typically trained on Reach, with notable officer schools located on [[Luna]] and [[Circinius IV]], among others.
