Template:Ratings A battle group is a UNSC designation for a force of ships that is generally smaller than a fleet. A battle group is roughly equivalent to a Covenant task force in terms of number of ships; however, a task force is far superior to a battle group in terms of sheer firepower and technology.
A battle group is usually commanded by an Admiral, though there have been instances of smaller battle groups being led by Captains.[1] Each Battle Group is assigned a number,[2] or, when the number is not known, the battle group is referred to simply by its flagship. Battle Groups are also created on a temporary basis, with a specific mission or to accomplish a specific task.[3][4][5]
