A brigade is UNSC organizational unit in the UNSC Army and UNSC Marine Corps.
Composition
In the UNICOM rank structure, a brigade is commanded by an O-6 Colonel.[1] However in the case of the 24th Marine Engineering Brigade, a Brigadier General; Artur Pahlavi served as the unit commander.[2] Brigades typically employ around five thousand personnel.[3]
Brigades have yet to see significant mention or development in official Halo media. In modern military forces, brigades are usually composed of three to six battalions, while three or more brigades are considered a division.
