''This article refers to the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army]], and [[UNSC Air Force]] rank of Captain. For the UNSC Navy rank, see [[Captain (Navy)]].''
 
'''Captain''' is a junior [[commissioned officer]] rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army]], and [[UNSC Air Force]] equal in rank to [[Lieutenant]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].  In the Marine Corps, they are usually placed in command of companies, or serve as staff officers in battalions. They may also serve in the battalion Executive Officer billet.
 
There are three Captains featured in the Halo Universe so far. One is the nameless commander of [[Tango Company]], which was one of the Marine Corps' [[companies]] the [[Spartan-IIs]] were pitted against during their training as youths.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 158 - "They're not going to play fair. You heard the sniper we captured. He said that this time the Captain told them to win no matter what - even if they had to bloody a few of us to do it."</ref> The second is [[Ponder]], after being demoted from [[Lieutenant Colonel]].<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> Lastly, [[Veronica Dare]] is an operative of [[ONI]] who took command of an [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|ODST]] squad during the [[Battle of Earth]]. Dare will be featured as a character in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15547 PARDON OUR DUST - Bungie Teaser - 9/22/2008]</ref>
 
==Relation to Navy Captain==
