The '''Prowler Corps''' is a division of the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 35''</ref> All permanent crew aboard [[Prowler|ONI prowler]]s serve in this sub-branch. The Prowler Corps apparently has an earlier mandatory retirement age than the rest of the Navy branches.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 326'' (''"Cho was technically past the mandatory retirement age in the UNSC Prowler Corps."'')</ref> The human colony of [[Falaknuma]] served as a base for a section of the Prowler Corps, alongside several Navy [[UNSC frigate|frigates]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 343''</ref>

==History==
At some point, [[Akio Watanabe]] was captured by [[Insurrectionist]]s and was physically tortured. The Prowler Corps rescued him from the insurgents, and thus he became very loyal to them.<ref name="cp96">'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 96''</ref> While recovering from the injuries he obtained, Watanabe began working with the Prowler Corps. He soon discovered that modified [[Covenant]] weaponry was appearing in the hands of civilians and insurgents through the [[human colonies]]. To end the distribution of the weapons, the Prowler Corps worked with another section of ONI to find the origins of the weapons.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 99''</ref>

Several months before the [[Cole Protocol]] was put into effect, the Prowler Corps put together several missions to sneak behind enemy lines and remove any existing human navigation data that could lead to [[Earth]] or other human colonies.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 81''</ref> The Prowler Corps would deploy units to locations where they thought the navigation data could still exist. In [[2535]], [[Spartan-II]] [[Gray Team]] was sent to [[the Rubble]] in the [[23 Librae]] system to ensure no data was still existing.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 71''</ref>
