| [[Image:Ntho.jpg|159px|thumb|right|The Sangheili were originally the commanders of the Covenant Army.]]The '''Covenant Army''' is a branch of the [[Covenant|Covenant Military]] responsible for land-based operations. It is the primary invasion force, and houses the numerous Special Operations units. <ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack] | |

| ==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.

| |
| During the [[Covenant Civil War]], or "Great Schism," the [[Covenant]] military was violently divided between the [[Covenant Loyalists]], who continued to believe in the [[Prophet]]'s wisdom, and the [[Covenant Separatists]], who followed the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] against them. The [[Covenant Separatists]] crushed the [[covenant Loyalists]] at the [[Battle of Installation 00]].
