The UNSC Army is a branch of the UNSC Defense Force alongside the UNSC Air Force[1], and is primarily responsible for land-based military operations.
Background
Little is known about the UNSC Army, and 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, uses different equipment such as the M6J Carbine [2][3].
It is however assumed that they were present during the Battles of Earth.
Role
It is known that the UNSC Army frequently patrols colony planets,[4] but, they have never been named in any operations in Halo canon, apart from the Battle of Mare Erythraeum. Unlike the Marines, which actively take the offensive against the enemy, the UNSC Army is largely used in defensive operations, garrisoning UNSC-held territory [5].
Operations
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 Jiralhanae Commander Lepidus on Mars. It is also highly likely that the Army fought against Covenant Loyalist forces in the Second Battle of Earth [6].
