Unified Ground Command

This article is a stub. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

The Unified Ground Command (abbreviated UNICOM or UniCom) is a United Nations Space Command organization tasked with coordinating the terrestrial operations of the Army, the Marine Corps, and possibly the Air Force. UNICOM's roles include, but are not limited to, disaster relief, infantry operations, search and reconnaissance, and other "ground pounder" duties. Special operations within the organization's oversight are coordinated by UNICOM's dedicated Unified Special Warfare Command. The Marine Corps' Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are an exception as they are instead controlled by Naval Command's Naval Special Weapons.

Production note

The Halo Encyclopedia claims that UNICOM's unit composition and rank hierarchy are based on those of the United States Marine Corps. This has since been negated as the Army uses the rank of specialist (E-4) and fields permanent brigades. These are both United States Army traditions that are not shared by the Marine Corps.
