Editing Warhost

{{Status|Canon}}
'''Warhosts''' are a [[Covenant military]] administrative grouping roughly analagous to a [[UNSC]] [[Task Force]].<ref name="ken">[[Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview]]</ref>

==Overview==
Unlike other Covenant military units, the Warhost is purely a temporary grouping of soldiers and other units created on a temporary basis for the purpose of accomplishing a given objective. The Warhost will remain formed until the objective is fulfilled and the unit is disbanded, though the Covenant will repeatedly use a warhost in an operation until it is destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|ken}} [[Evocati]] assigned to a Warhost would not answer directly to the Warhost commander, but instead elect a representative from within their ranks (known as Evocati Delegatus) who would swear a binding oath to obey their commander and act as an authority on specialist subjects.<ref name="cf low">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/log-of-war '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Log of War'']</ref>

There are several major types of Warhost commonly employed across multiple fleets and [[Legion]]s, as they have proven their usefulness.{{Ref/Reuse|ken}}
