UNSC Army
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Infobox Military Unit The UNSC Army is a branch of the UNSC Defense Forces primarily responsible for land-based military operations.
Background
Little is known about the UNSC Army, and this is probably due to the fact that the Army is a land based fighting force, and thus little of the Army is assigned to the UNSC Navy, with the exception of transport to other planets. It is also known that the UNSC Army uses different equipment such as the M6J Carbine.[1][2]
Operations
It is known that the UNSC Army frequently patrols colony planets,[3] but, they have never been named in any operations in Halo canon.
Template:Conjecturalization The only supposed UNSC Army operation could be the Battle of Mare Erythraeum where Colonel James Ackerson led an unknown number of Army infantry forces against the Brute Commander Lepidus on Mars. It is also highly likely that the Army fought against Covenant forces in the Second Battle of Earth.[4] Template:Conjecturalization End
