| ==Function==
| |
| | |
| The Covenant Army comprises of the majority of the Covenant's ground-based units, and is asked with engaging the enemies of the Covenant in ground and air combat, using a variety of equipment and weaponry. Primarily led by the Brutes, and formerly by the Elites, the Army is comprised of most of the military-service races who act as infantry or, in the case of Hunters, as demolitions experts and shock troops.
| |
| | |
| Because Prophets do not hold military ranks, no Prophet is truly a "member" of the Army. Instead, they command its Brute leaders, who follow their orders and accomplish their objectives. [[Engineers]], as primarily non-combatants, are also exempt from the Army.

| =Covenant Civil War=
| |
| During the [[Covenant Civil War]], or "Great Schism", the Army was split in two, Loyalists supporting the [[Prophets]], and Separatists supporting the [[Arbiter]].
| |
| | |
| During the [[Covenant Civil War]], a significant majority of the [[Hunters, and a number of [[Grunts]], defected to the [[Covenant Separatists]], though they are never seen in [[Halo 3]]. Most Grunts, some Hunters, and the Jackals, Drones and Brutes remained in [[Covenant Loyalist]] military service.
