The '''Covenant Army''' is a branch of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] responsible for land-based operations.

==Overview== | |||
===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 variety of equipment and weaponry. Primarily led by the [[Jiralhanae]] (and formerly by the [[Sangheili]], including the former [[Arbiter]]s), 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 [[San 'Shyuum]] do not hold military ranks, no San 'Shyuum is truly a "member" of the Army. Instead, they command its Jiralhanae leaders as either a religious or militaristic tactician, who follow their orders and accomplish their objectives. Huragok, as primarily non-combatants, are also exempt from the Army. | |||
===Covenant Civil War=== | |||
During the [[Great Schism]], the Covenant military was violently divided between the [[Covenant Loyalists]], who continued to believe in the [[High Prophets]], and the [[Covenant Separatists]], who followed the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] against them. The Covenant Separatists crushed the Loyalists at the [[Battle of Installation 00]] with their human allies. | |||
