==Description==
====Phoenix log====
{{Article Quote|This is no UNSC academy. The Barracks is a rustic shack compared to the comforts of a real training center, but then again a Marine in the field isn’t generally thinking about creature comforts. They make you soft. The Barracks simply houses the raw recruits and equipment needed to field squads of UNSC Marines. A quick briefing, visit to the armory, and you’ve got boots on the ground.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/barracks.aspx '''Halowars.com''': ''Barracks'']</ref>}}
