| == Could the UNSC army be on earth at the time of H-3 == | | ==Ranks== |
| | | I guess me and Ryangreenday have to start working on the Army ranks [[User:CommanderTony|CommanderTony]] |
| 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)

| | |
| I really don't think there is such a thing as the UNSC Army. James Ackerson is probably a UNSC Marine Corps Colonel. Those of you familiar with the novels know that the author of Ghosts of Onyx, the only mentioning of the UNSC Army, know that the only time the UNSC Army is described is when Kurt Ambrose sees Ackerson and describes him as an Army Colonel.
| |
| | |
| If you've read all the previous novels, and you know as much about the military as I do, you'd notice that Eric Nylund is not very military savy and has made hanus mistakes concerning ranks before (describing 2nd and 1st Lieutenants as Navy ranks, for example).

| == Function ==
| |
| | |
| I would imagine that the UNSC army would function like today's Peacekeepers, rather than as a dedicated fighting force. With so many colony worlds, the UNSC would need a military body to keep the peace against uprising and piracy. That would also explain why the UNSC Marine Corps has taken the fore in terms of offensive operations. No proof, but I think it would be the most likely role held.

| 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.

| To whoever is asking these questions, you should tag your comments by pressing the ~ key 4 times so we know whos talking, and where your post ends. Also the soldiers in Halo: 4 all appear to be Marines not Army. Its possible army units are attached, but in the halo universe they seem to be more of a planetary defence force.

| |
| :The Army and Air Force units reassigned to Requiem were possibly deployed there to begin a large-scale, permanent occupation of the planet. But I've always doubted that the Army, at the very least, is a purely "garrison force." I'm sure it was stated as such because the UNSC was mostly on the defensive and huge planetary invasions mounted by the Army would have been costly, whereas Marine offensives would have been small and swift. Now that the UNSC is the seemingly sole superpower in the post-war galaxy, the Army can now deploy in-strength for expeditionary roles. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

| Has it ever been explained which ones are Army in Halo4? The green or white BDU's?[[User:Qzmju123|Qzmju123]] ([[User talk:Qzmju123|talk]]) 16:59, 2 May 2013 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| 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)
