The United Nations Space Command has its roots in [[Wikipedia:World War I|World War I]], a conflict which led to the creation of the [[Wikipedia:League of Nations|League of Nations]] in 1920. Following [[World War II]] in [[1945]], the largely ineffective League of Nations was replaced by the [[United Nations]], creating for the first time in human history a political and military entity that could administrate worldwide economic, social and military matters such as operations and campaigns aimed at providing humanitarian aid and global military intervention with the objective of preserving peace in unstable regions.{{Ref/Reuse|xbox}}

The UNSC has also directly employed former member species of the Covenant after the war, including [[Unggoy]] and [[Huragok]]. They also affiliate with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] [[Sangheili]] doing many [[Joint Occupation Zone|joint operations]] and training together.

By the time the Covenant War began, humanity, and thus the UNSC, had reached [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier 3]] of the [[Forerunner]] civilization rank system. Humanity's rank continued to rise due to the capture of Covenant technology and equipment, which was studied and adapted for human needs. The very best and cutting edge of UNSC equipment was supplied to the SPARTAN-II project. Human technology was innovative, rather than reverse-engineered from Forerunner technology. This meant humanity remained flexible in their technical expertise, despite being hundreds of years behind the Covenant.<ref>''Halo: The Flood'', p. 132</ref> One such example of ingenuity was the [[energy shielding]] technology adapted and improved for use on the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]].
