 ==Summary==
-As I have grown tired of argueing back and forth, I am putting together a page of all the ranks in the UNited Staes Navy and United States Marine Corps, then showing which of these ranks is confirmed in the Halo universe, and providing a source. There are still a few from [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] without page numbers, but I'll have those page numbers shortly. There are also several I think are in the books, but can't look up because I don't have my copy of [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], and I wouldn't know where to look if I did. There are, of course, several that are not mentioned in the Halo series as far as I know.
+This is an open source project. Please update it as you discover yet unrecorded confirmed ranks.

 ==Conclusion==
-Of the 45 ranks that are possible in the Halo universe based upon the American Navy and Marine Corps, there are 11 unconfirmed. That means that 34 are mentioned. And there are also 0 ranks that contradict the American system, though there are a few titles that could be confused with ranks. Also, [[Eric Nylund]] confirms ([[Letter - RE:UNSC Ranking System|here]]) that, when writing his books, he bases the UNSC ranking system off the American system. This, along with the fact that [[Bungie]], Eric Nylund, and [[Microsoft]] are all American companies, heavily supports the theory that the UNSC ranking system is based upon the American Navy and Marine Corps ranking system.
+There are 45 total ranks in question. 36 are confirmed; 9 are unconfirmed. There are 0 discrepencies.
