Spartan Thorn's Parents were army officers From the Falcon to the Sabers.Īlso the Army was displayed a lot since 343I took over. In fact the Every Air Craft flown in Halo: Reach was by the UNSC Air Force.
While the navy seems to have a standardised level of training and equipment.Īlso I have to assume the Army is much larger than the Marine Corp.Correct.
Its most likely personal preference more than anything else.It's a bit of a shame tho, as you say the lore mostly focuses on naval forces.ĭoes the UNSC/UNSCDF even have a air force branch or is it incorporated into the Marine Corps and Army?The airforce is a component of the UNSCDF alongside the army.Īlso on the topic of equipment id assume there is a large disparity between training and equipment of a colony like Reach's Army and that of a smaller outer colony. Though the Army seems to use older stuff that they know and trust that works. They had their fights, we just never saw them in the narrow specturm of the universe we've seen. It also seems like marines did most of the fighting, since the Army has only been seen (or even mentioned, really) on Reach.The Army did its fair share of fighting (ex Algolis in Halo Legends where an Army Corps of Engineers battalion was involved), its just that the games and books tend to focus on naval/Spartan engagements.and what do UNSC ships carry for ground campaigns? Marines are likely better trained, have stricter requirements and regulations, and have better/newer equipment than Army troopers. If the UNSC Army is based entirely on the US model, calling the army guys "troopers" might just be using the common catch-all term that everyone uses, as opposed to "soldier", which would be a more formal term.The Sorge wrote:It's probably fairly similar to the differences between a US Marine and a US Army soldier, since that's mostly what they were based off of. In cavalry units, the equivalent to a platoon is a "troop", thus the lowest rank of individual soldiers is "trooper." If the UNSC Army's forces on Reach consist of motorized or mechanized infantry (a virtual certainty) and their units have a regimental identity with a history of being cavalry or mounted rifles, then "Trooper" would be the correct rank to refer to them as.Īlternatively, "Trooper" is a catch-all term for cavalry and airborne soldiers in the US military, regardless of rank, as well as being used by the Special Air Service (Incidentally, this is likely where the trooper part of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers comes from).
In the British and current and former Commonwealth armies, trooper is a rank equivalent to private specific to certain units, usually regiments with a cavalry tradition like the Governor General's Horse Guards or the Australian Light Horse.
