UNSC Army

Template:Infobox Military Unit 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 is probably 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. It is also known that the UNSC Army may use different equipment such as the M6J Carbine.

Operations

It is known that the UNSC Army frequently patrols colony planets, but, they have never been named in any operations in Halo canon.

Template:Conjecturalization The only supposed UNSC Army operation could be the Battle of Mare Erythraeum where Colonel James Ackerson led an unknown number of Army infantry forces against the Brute Commander Lepidus on Mars. It is also highly likely that the Army fought against Covenant forces in the Second Battle of Earth. Template:Conjecturalization End
