Formal '''wars''' are protracted, large-scale, violent conflicts, containing several [[battle]]s; that often last for a number of years and mark an era such as the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Informally, the word can be used for any long-term struggle, and has been informally used to describe isolated battles such as the [[Second Ark Conflict]] and the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HDW11|DW|Page=36|Quote=The humans became an obstacle, and a war began. The fighting continues to this day.}}{{Ref/Quest|HI|Graveyards|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]|Quote=When you're done with this war, we'll get away from here. Far away.|Quotee=[[Fernando Esparza]]}} These smaller continuous conflicts are traditionally called battles, although this terminology is not always applied to conflicts involving aircraft, missiles or bombs alone, in the absence of ground troops or naval forces. A group of combatants and their support is called an [[UNSC Army|army]] on land, a [[UNSC Navy|navy]] at sea or in space, and [[UNSC Air Force|air force]] in the air. Wars may be prosecuted simultaneously in one or more different theaters. Within each theater, there may be one or more consecutive military campaigns. A military campaign includes not only fighting but also intelligence, troop movements, supplies, [[propaganda]], and other components.
