Little is known about the '''UNSC Army'''. This may be due to the fact that the Army is a land based fighting force, and thus none of the Army is assigned to naval battle ships. With the exception of transport by landing ships for planetary assaults. <ref>[[Letter - Re:UNSC Army]]</ref> | Little is known about the '''UNSC Army'''.

The Army, as stated above, may be a land based garrison force. It is probably less efficient a fighting force than the Marines and might be used in a support or reserve role. It is also possible that the UNSC needed a faster, more expeditionary force like the Marines to hunt down elusive rebels, and later the Covenant. The Army might have subsequently been partially disbanded, with some units integrated into the Marine Corps. This may explain why some "leathernecks" (Marines) have been adressed in both the games and novels as simply "soldier". | The Army, as stated above, may be a land based garrison force.
