[[Image:Ntho.jpg|159px|thumb|right|The Sangheili were originally the commanders of the Covenant Army.]]The '''Covenant Army''' is a branch of the [[Covenant|Covenant Military]] responsible for land-based operations. It is the primary invasion force, and houses the numerous Special Operations units. <ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack] | |||

==Function== | |||
The Covenant Army comprises of the majority of the Covenant's ground-based infantry and units, and is tasked with engaging the enemies of the [[Covenant]] in ground and air combat. They use a diversity of equipment and weaponry. Primarily led by the Brutes, and formerly by the Elites, including former [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiters]], the Army is comprised of most of the military-service races who act as infantry or, in the case of Hunters, as demolitions experts and shock troops. | |||
Because Prophets do not hold military ranks, no Prophet is truly a "member" of the Army. Instead, they command its [[Brute]] leaders as either religious or militaristic tactician, who follow their orders and accomplish their objectives. Engineers, as primarily non-combatants, are also exempt from the Army. | |||
