The '''Organization of the UNSC Military''' is the way in which the [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps]] organize their fighting forces into manageable sizes of manpower for use in combat operations. Though there have been many [[UNSC]] military units named in the books and games, the exact specifications of the UNSC armed forces organization remains unclear. For a complete list of all known UNSC Military units, see [[List of UNSC | The '''Organization of the UNSC Military''' is the way in which the [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps]] organize their fighting forces into manageable sizes of manpower for use in combat operations.

The large-unit structure of the UNSC Marine Corps appears to mirror the organizational structure of the [[United States Marine Corps]] in most distinguishable ways, however the small-unit structure is more unique and in some ways still unclear. A nearly complete chart showing the sourced known structure of the UNSC Marine Corps units can be seen below. As in the case of the United States Marine Corps, the UNSC Marines appear to have a very flexible organization depending on the needs of the mission. The Expeditionary force is listed as the largest deployable unit above a division, but marines also deploy in Marine Expeditionary Brigades (MEB: commanded by a brigadier general and about 16,000 marines and sailors strong) and Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU: commanded by a colonel and about 2,200 marines and sailors strong). | The large-unit structure of the UNSC Marine Corps appears to mirror the organizational structure of the [[Wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|United States Marine Corps]] in most distinguishable ways, however the small-unit structure is more unique and in some ways still unclear.

Similarly to the expeditionary force, they each contain a ground combat element, an air combat element, a logistics element, and a command element. The Marine Expeditionary Brigade's Ground Combat Element consists of an infantry regiment reinforced by an artillery battalion, a tank company, a combat engineer company, and reconnaissance company. Its Air Combat Element is a composite air group (the level below air wing) commanded by a colonel and a combat logistics regiment (the level below logistics group) commanded by a colonel. The Marine Expeditionary Unit's Ground Combat Element consists of an infantry battalion reinforced by an artillery battery (the equivalent of a company), a tank platoon, a combat engineer platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon. Its Air Combat Element consists of a composite air squadron (level below air group) commanded by a lt. col. Its Logistics Combat Element consists of a composite logistics battalion (level below logistics regiment) commanded by a lt. col. | Similarly to the expeditionary force, they each contain a ground combat element, an air combat element, a logistics element, and a command element.
