UNSC Army

The UNSC Army is a branch of the UNSC Defense Forces primarily responsible for land-based military operations.

Background

Little is known about the UNSC Army. This may be due to the fact that the Army is a land based fighting force, and thus little of the Army is assigned to the UNSC Navy, with the exception of transport to other planets. Based on its name and hinted role, one can assume that the UNSC Army is mainly for planetary defense. It is also known that the UNSC Army may use different equipment such as the M6J Carbine.

Ranks

Because the UNSC Navy and Marine Corps ranks are U.S. Military Ranks, it can be assumed that the UNSC Army's ranks are also.
