A '''task force''' is an organization of [[Covenant]] ships, usually organized on a temporary basis and for a specific mission. A task force is smaller than a [[Fleet]]. It is the rough equivalent of a [[UNSC]] [[Battle Group]] in terms of the number of ships. It is commanded by a [[Elite]] [[Zealot]] with the title of [[Fleet Master]].

The amount of ships in a task force range from a handful to several dozen. Possibly due to their transient nature, Covenant task forces are not named, unlike Covenant fleets. 

==Known Task Forces==
*A Covenant task force was sent to [[Harvest]] in [[2531]]. It numbered less than a dozen vessels.

*Another Covenant task force, referred to as [[Regret's Fleet]], was sent to [[Earth]], led by the [[Prophet of Regret]]. Regret's intent was to claim the [[Forerunner]] [[The Artifact|Artifact]] buried under the planet, but it was defeated in the [[Battle of Earth]]. It consisted of two [[Assault Carrier]]s and thirteen [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]s.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]</ref>

*[[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] was put in charge of a task force by [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] to pursue the captured ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]''. Most of this [[Fleet]] was destroyed in the [[Battle of Onyx]].<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref>

-Task forces are typically interchangeable with [[battle group]]s, being ad-hoc fighting forces formed from Naval [[UNSC Navy tactical formations|tactical formations]].{{Ref/Reuse|fb9}} In at least one instance, a task force was formed as a subdivision of a battle group - in [[2526]], [[Task Force Yama]] - a force consisting of three [[squadron]]s of [[Prowler]]s - split off from [[Battle Group X-Ray]] under the orders of Vice Admiral [[Preston Cole]]. Yama was commanded by [[Captain]] [[Halima Ascot]].<ref name="silentstorm5">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 5</ref>
-Some task forces were organised into a "wolf pack" configuration consisting of only {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}}s. These "wolf pack" units carried no [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] complements.<ref name="hochapter4">''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'', Chapter 4</ref>

-{{Conjecture}}
-In the real world, task forces are typically formed on a temporary basis comprised of multiple units with the purpose of accomplishing a single task or mission. While the full functions of task forces in the ''Halo'' universe have yet to be described, the purpose of Task Force Yama - to harass and disrupt Covenant supply lines in the early war - seems to keep the modern day interpretation of the concept more-or-less intact.
