Special Operations worked within SWG to conduct unconventional warfare initiatives, by way of stealth and infiltration. Their units typically worked alongside conventional [[Covenant military]] forces to infiltrate enemy fortifications and conduct advance reconnaissance, with their primary goals being to prevent an enemy force from responding to attack in as discreet and efficient a manner possible.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG59}} However, SpecOps units may also work in the field in total isolation for long periods of time; these missions are often done via the direct orders of a [[Hierarchs|Hierarch]]{{Ref/Reuse|LibraryElite}} and are extremely classified.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG59}} When necessary, SpecOps forces may also be used to conduct guerilla warfare behind enemy lines or even conduct assassinations on high-value targets.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG59}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=133}} | Special Operations worked within SWG to conduct unconventional warfare initiatives, by way of stealth and infiltration.

Although Special Operations serve in a broadly similar capacity to [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth]] units, they are not one and the same. Stealth Sangheili units work as an offshoot of the SpecOps concept, and are instead organised under Covenant [[Fleet Security]], with units spread throughout the mainline Covenant military to carry out standard battlefield deployments. By comparison, SpecOps units are independent strike teams sent on missions with acute and specific objects, without wider application for the rest of the military.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11 | Although Special Operations serve in a broadly similar capacity to [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth]] units, they are not one and the same.

Even as of [[2558]], information about Special Operations was in scarce supply to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], beyond the knowledge that they were considered the most proficient tactical units within the Covenant military forces. As such, [[United Nations Space Command]] directives dictate that all encounters with them by [[human]] military forces should be logged with [[UNSC High Command]].{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=152}} | Even as of [[2558]], information about Special Operations was in scarce supply to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], beyond the knowledge that they were considered the most proficient tactical units within the Covenant military forces.
