[[File:Ntho.jpg|159px|thumb|right|The Sangheili were originally the commanders of the Covenant army.]]
The [[Covenant]] maintained an '''army''' as their primary force responsible for land-based military operations, including planetary invasions. The army houses numerous [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations units]] in addition to conventional forces.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack '''Bungie.net''': ''The Tru7h About Co-Op in Halo 3'']</ref>
 
==Organization==
The Covenant Army comprises of the majority of the [[Covenant military]]'s ground-based infantry and units, and is tasked with engaging the enemies of the Covenant in ground and air combat. Its officer corps is primarily staffed by [[Jiralhanae]] (and formerly by [[Sangheili]]). Because [[San 'Shyuum]] do not hold military ranks, no San 'Shyuum is truly a "member" of the Army. Instead, they are responsible for strategic decision-making, but also travel with Covenant military units as religious or political overseers.<ref name="flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page ??''</ref><ref name="protocol">'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page ??''</ref>
 
The Army is comprised of mostly of the [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]], who act as infantry. Whilst these particular soldiers are considerably weaker than humans, the higher up Covenant species, though fewer in number, fare ''much'' better in combat situations. [[Huragok]], as primarily non-combatants, are exempt from the Army but accompany units as engineers.
 
==History==
===Human-Covenant War===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
[[File:Staging area.png|175px|thumb|right|A Covenant Army staging area in the [[Viery Territory]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] being observed by SPARTANs of [[Noble Team]].]]
The Covenant Army played a pivotal role in Covenant campaigns against the [[human]]s by establishing forward operating bases to support invasion efforts on human worlds, and eliminating the enemy presence and infrastructure.<ref name="lnos">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>
 
===Covenant Civil War===
{{Main|Great Schism}}
During the Great Schism, the Covenant military was violently torn between those loyal to the [[Covenant]], who continued to follow the [[Hierarchs|High Prophets]], and the [[Covenant separatists|independent, Elite led separatist faction]], who followed the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] against them.<ref name="uprising">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Uprising]]''</ref>
