The only time a unit abbreviation code is translated is page 111 of ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', where [[M-EDF 9/21/1]] is translated as [[9th Marine Expeditionary Force]], [[21st Marine Division]], 1st Battalion. This adds further mystery to the scheme, as it apparently skips over the Regimental command and implies that the Battalion is directly subordinate to the Division level headquarters, a fact that no other source has ever stated and does not make sense according to standard military organization. | The only time a unit abbreviation code is translated is page 111 of ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', where [[M-EDF 9/21/1]] is translated as [[9th Marine Expeditionary Force]], [[21st Marine Division]], 1st Battalion.

Unit designations are also deeply convoluted, due to the great use of acronyms which are not used in modern militaries and have not yet been directly spelled out. References have been made to "BAG" units (as seen above) where no modern military designates any type of combat unit with the acronym "BAG", and the many possible meanings of the acronym make it unclear what a "BAG" unit is. Other anomalies include [[2BN/3U]], where "2BN" is short for 2nd Battalion, but what "3U" stands for is unclear, and only assumed to be "Third Unit."

The mentioned [[22nd Tactical]], (having received no further designation, and could be of virtually any size) and the [[105th Drop Jet Platoon]] (going against the established scheme of not providing permanent designations for Platoons) are even further examples of the confusion caused by clashing sources of information. | ||
