Well its more of a really  simple theory if the defence group you know Hood Strattus Ackerson and the other brass pulled most of the fleet to earth wouldn't the army be there also the army would use the same type of combat dress as the Marines minus the ODST armor. The UNSC Army might have also went with the marines to the Ark because at the end of the game it never clarified who exactly went in the portal minus Johnson and  Keyes and John it seems to me that the marine garrision is low because of Reach.

** Well, I don't think the Army uniforms would be the same as the [[Marine]] uniforms. I think they would rather look like [[Colonial Militia]] outfits. And I don't think the Army went to the [[Ark]] either, because the Army is a land-based force unlike the Marines who get to ride in starships and yonder the galaxy. --[[User:UNSC Trooper|<font color="darkblue">UNSC Trooper</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">My Work</font>]]</sub> 17:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

It still looks to me like he made a typo and tried to cover it up later by saying there really is a UNSC Army, instead of actually admitting to his mistake.

Not true at all... the U.S. Army, and the British Army, both are a fighting force that actually takes more ground than the Marines in offensive operations. (see Iraq war 2003) Also the WW2 European theater was exclusively fought by the Army. Infact the ODST's resemble Army Rangers, and Army Airborne "troopers" more so than any Marine force. I think it's inconsistency's, and a general lack of military knowledge of Halo authors, and Bungie staff that are responsible for the general lunacy of UNSC military structure.

There appears to be some confusion over expeditionary and defensive forces in the Haloverse in general. Army would typically be a defense force stationed to defend a colony. Air Force would seem to be a similar role, but defense of the sky or local planetary space. The Navy and Marines are primarily the expeditionary forces of the UNSC that would travel colony to colony.
This is my take:
'''UNSCEF'''
Navy (FLEETCOM and NAVSPECWAR) - [this is the fleet, plus attached Marines and ODSTs and Spartan IIs]
---Marines (Navy sub-branch)
Spartans
'''UNSCDF'''
Navy (NAVLOGCOM) - [this includes ONI, Spartan IIIs, plus UNSC groundside bases and space stations]
Army
Air Force
Incidentally, there is actually a graphic texture in Halo Reach that shows the eagle UNSC logo with the UNSCEF in the banner for 'expeditionary forces' just as we first saw UNSCDF on Cairo station for defense forces. I'm pretty sure it's an unused texture file but I can't rule out it wasn't seen in Reach. I just don't recall it. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 14:45, 22 August 2013 (EDT)
