Ok, I would like to know where the information about "Company Sergeant" and "Battalion First Sergeant" came from. In the US (which the UNSC is closely modeled after), a Company has a First Sergeant, who holds the rank of "First Sergeant" while a Battalion or larger has a Sergeant Major, who is a Sergeant Major in the Marines or a Command Sergeant Major in the Army. Unless there is evidence that the UNSC is different, this needs to be fixed. Iceman117 22:44, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

The same goes for the ranks of the leaders of the units. In the USMC, a Platoon is led by a 2nd or 1st Lt, a Company by a Captain, a Battalion by a Lt Col, a Regiment by a Col, and a Division by a Major General. Again, unless there is evidence that this is different, this will need fixing, which I will do myself if necessary. Iceman117 22:47, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

The Unified Ground Command came from the Halo: Encyclopedia, which has been a really shifty bastard of canonocity since it came out. Then again, other than this article and in the reference book, this entity has been used quite sparringly throughout post-2009 canon. Hell, I don't even see a reason why this or Naval Command was established in canon to begin with. Anyways, nothing really to change; however, feel free to place your concerns in a "trivia" section.

Is it quoted from the Encyclopedia? At least, are the parts I brought up quoted? I also love how the source does not include a page number. Iceman117 23:31, 9 August 2011 (EDT)
It received a whole page spread if I remember correctly. User:CommanderTony/Sig
