:The discovery of the "USW" in the manual definitely sheds some light on the matter. I'd reckon the UNICOM part was omitted essentially for the same reason Noble Team used to lack the SPARTAN-III company identifiers in their Spartan tags; to avoid confusing casual audiences. So Unified Special Warfare would basically cover Army special operations - while UNICOM (according to the Encyclopedia) is in charge of the Marine Corps as well, the ODSTs fall under NAVSPECWAR instead. On that matter, is it ''Naval Special Warfare'' or ''Naval Special Weapons''? It's as if both are used interchangeably, though it's possible there is some minute distinction. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:23, 22 January 2014 (EST) | :The discovery of the "USW" in the manual definitely sheds some light on the matter.

::I want to do some more research into where the Marines belong. In my own org chart I have them within the Navy, not UNICOM, and I take the Encyclopedia with a grain of salt still. The main reason is the definite inclusion of the ODSTs (Marines) within the organization of the Navy as NAVSPECWAR Group 2. Since the existence of UNISPECWAR would suggest that if the Marines were a part of UNICOM then they'd logically fall under that title, yet they don't, I want to group the Marines as a subset within the Navy, although I'd treat the "Unified" aspect of UNICOM to allow for joint operations between Army and Marines, certainly. | |||
::The Noble Team company identifiers were reintroduced into the first Visual Guide at my insistence. 343i wanted to keep it like Bungie had changed it, but I managed to get a copy of Halo: Overture and that included them, so despite the obscurity of that book I was able to make the case that Spartan-IIIs should still retain them. | |||
::To answer your last question, there are both. Naval Special Warfare is the umbrella group that includes Naval Special Weapons, so NAVSPECWAR contains NAVSPECWEP. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 07:15, 22 January 2014 (EST) | |||
