:: Noble Team reports under [[SPECWARCOM]], which is likely an Army Branch. I don't know about the rest of the IIIs however.

It is painfully obvious that the writers and developers of the Halo universe have placed way too much emphasis of the Marine Corps given the fact that most sci-fi games and novels do the same thing. People have no idea how small the Marine Corps is as a fighting force and how the Army is ignored during many offensive engagements in present day. There is a reference of the Army in Halo Evolutions, but it is about them getting wiped out and some female marine talking shit about them (which is what we do to each other in real life). | |||
As a Army paratrooper, I hope that Bungie will get the Army right and include us more in the Halo universe. To say that the Army is primarily a defensive land force is ridiculous because we can do that and offensive operations on a large scale. This crap about the Marines going in first is a big fat lie that has been carried around for decades. We ALL go in first! The Marines attack in one area and Army forces would attack in another, it is basically a joint operation during major conflicts. Why in the hell were the ODST unit based off of Marines has always made me chuckle because the airborne concept is a ARMY concept, not a Marine one. Yes, the Marines have paratroopers, but when you think of sky soldiers, you think of Army paratroopers. | |||
The UNSC Army should be the primary fighting force in the Halo universe, not because we are better than Marines, but that we have the numbers and are a larger fighting force. Take a good look at the real Army and our capabilities and you will see why I think that Bungie should give the Army a better representation as a fighting force. |
