The | The '''UNSC Army Airborne''' is an [[wikipedia:airborne forces|airborne]] [[wikipedia:infantry|infantry]] division of the [[UNSC Army]].<ref name="AA armory">'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory'' - MJOLNIR/AA variant description: ''"Entered service in 2535; the MJOLNIR/AA variant is exclusive to Army airborne units."''</ref><ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 4''</ref> | ||
== | == Overview == | ||
The | The Airborne consists of both [[wikipedia:paratrooper|parachute infantry]] and [[Wikipedia:Air assault|air assault]] elements. Although they are deployed in a very different manner, the Airborne forces could be considered a sister unit to the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]' [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s. | ||
The Airborne also fields [[wikipedia:pathfinder (military)|Pathfinder]] units.<ref name="FC-I Armory">'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory'' - MJOLNIR/AA, FC-I variant description: ''"FC-I Command network module-Improved; external hardned uplink. A favorite of Pathfinder units."''</ref> The Pathfinders are deployed in advance of their comrades in order to mark drop zones, thus increasing the accuracy and precision of deployments. After the main body of the Airborne forces are deployed, the Pathfinders join the regular Airborne infantry in combat. | |||
== Equipment == | |||
Airborne personnel are equipped with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/AA variant|Air Assault helmet]], which was developed as an improvement on the [[ODST_armor#Helmet|helmet]] worn by the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers; Pathfinders prefer the FC-I variant of the helmet.<ref name="FC-I Armory"/><ref name="EVG"/> The Airborne probably utilize much of the equipment used by their regular Army counterparts, though, given the nature of the operations they undertake, the Airborne typically operate with lighter armament and less, if any, vehicular support. | |||
