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

==Overview==
===Function===
The Covenant Army comprises of the majority of the Covenant's ground-based infantry and units, and is tasked with engaging the enemies of the Covenant in ground and air combat. They use a variety of equipment and weaponry. Primarily led by the Jiralhanae (and formerly by the Sangheili, including the former [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiters]]), 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 [[San 'Shyuum]] do not hold military ranks, no San 'Shyuum is truly a "member" of the Army. Instead, they command its Jiralhanae leaders as either a religious or militaristic tactician, who follow their orders and accomplish their objectives. Huragok, as primarily non-combatants, are also exempt from the Army.
 
===Covenant Civil War===
During the Covenant Civil War, or "[[Great Schism]]", the Covenant military was violently divided between the [[Covenant Loyalists]], who continued to believe in the [[High Prophets]], 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]] with their human allies.
