A '''brigade''' is military unit employed in multiple military organisations.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO1|Oblv|Chapter=1}}
A '''brigade''' is [[UNSC Military Organization|UNSC organizational unit]] in the [[UNSC Army]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps]].


==Brigades by military==
==Composition==
===Covenant===
In the [[UNICOM]] [[UNSC rank structure#UNICOMK ranks|rank structure]], a brigade is commanded by an O-6 [[Colonel]].<ref name="OSFM142">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', PART 8: UNSC ORGANISATION, UNICOM Ranks (p. 142-143)</ref> Brigades typically employ around five thousand personnel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}}
The Covenant use brigades or an equivalent thereof - with [[legion]]s likely fulfilling this similar role.{{Ref/Note|In ''Halo: Oblivion'', the only usage of the term brigade in relation to the Covenant is through the perspective of humans. As such, it is likely that these analogous groupings are given different, currently-unknown terminology within the Covenant proper. Legions have a similar personnel count to a brigade, making them the most likely equivalent.}} Most Covenant brigades or brigade-equivalents include a light [[company]] of roughly one-hundred [[Yanme'e]] to serve as scouts.{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}}
 
===Mesra===
The [[Militia of Mesra]] had multiple brigade-level units. Most were destroyed during the eight-day [[Battle of Mesra]].{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}}
 
===UNSC Armed Forces===
Brigades are a common element in the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces, being employed in both the [[UNSC Army|Army]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. In the [[UNICOM]] [[UNSC rank structure#UNICOM ranks|rank structure]], a brigade is commanded by an O-6 [[Colonel]].{{Ref/Book|Id=OSFM142|OSFM|Section=8: UNSC Organisation, UNICOM Ranks|Page=142-143}} However in the case of the [[24th Marine Engineering Brigade]], a [[Brigadier General]]; [[Artur Pahlavi]] served as the unit commander.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=3}} Brigades typically employ around five thousand personnel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}}

Brigades have yet to see significant mention or development in official ''Halo'' media. In modern military forces, brigades are usually composed of three to six [[battalion]]s, while three or more brigades are considered a [[division]].
