Warhosts are a Covenant military administrative grouping roughly analagous to a UNSC Task Force.[1]
Overview
Unlike other Covenant military units, the Warhost is purely a temporary grouping of soldiers and other units created on a temporary basis for the purpose of accomplishing a given objective. The Warhost will remain formed until the objective is fulfilled and the unit is disbanded, though the Covenant will repeatedly use a warhost in an operation until it is destroyed.[1] Evocati assigned to a Warhost would not answer directly to the Warhost commander, but instead elect a representative from within their ranks (known as Evocati Delegatus) who would swear a binding oath to obey their commander and act as an authority on specialist subjects.[2]
Types of Warhost
There are several major types of Warhost commonly employed across multiple fleets and Legions, as they have proven their usefulness.[1]

In Halo: Ground Command, Hunting Hosts may have the following attributes;[3]
- 1x Elite Zealot (Required)

A Siege Host is an armoured battle group consisting of a Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith and Type-32 Ghost commanded by a Type-26 Wraith, alongside a small amount of infantry, a large amount of other vehicles and some air support.[4]
In Halo: Ground Command, Siege Hosts may have the following attributes[4]
- 1x AA Wraith (Required)
