The Covenant Army is a branch of the Covenant Military responsible for land-based operations. It is the primary invasion force, and houses the numerous Special Operations units. [1]
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.
