- No other force in no other time has ever been asked to give so much, and given it so readily. For thirty years the UNSC Army fought the battles where the results were inevitable, but surrender unthinkable.

The UNSC army is very unrated people always talk about the UNSC marines.
I loved how all the Army troopers/infantry looked in Halo Reach.
Same I was always trying to save those guys, and get them to the next battle for a cool engagement
I wish the Halo games would tell a story from the perspective of someone other than John Halo the Master Chef

It was noted, that the Covenant usually had space and air superority due to the technological advantage. Once they hit the ground however, the Covenant would suffer casualties to fierce resistance to UNSC soldiers. Enough so that the Elites would begin to question the actions of the Prophets and indeed began to respect human soldiers that fought back so aggressively. Of course human resistance resulted in the end of whole worlds being glassed if they couldn't be conquered. I can only imagine this was usually because they encountered UNSC Army already on the ground. .
It's definitely a neat part of the lore, yeah ground battles were generally 50/50 (covenant had some slight advantages), but the UNSC "won" many ground battles. The problem was that the covenant had an insane advantage in space. Their slipspace drives were more accurate, and their ships faster, meaning they could just fly in circles around the UNSC. Once in combat, their shields rendered them nearly unkillable. When planning space battles, the UNSC basically assumed they were going to lose unless they outnumbered the covenant 10-1, pretty much.
Very rarely did Elites ever question the Prophets for not including humanity in the Covenant, considering that humans were declared heretics and enemies of the Great Journey early on in the war.
@@gamerdude1246at the start yes but as the war dragged on more elites questioned why Humanity wasn't included into the Covenant. They saw many humans give their lives to hold back the Covenant to buy time for the civilians and their comrades to flee knowing they would die in the process. The geun rebellion, the taming of the hunters, the war beti the elites and the profits all was forgiven so why not the humans. Not all not most but some elites questioned the orders and even recognized the humans a honourable a feat not often given to other species by the elites.
@@gamerdude1246 untrue.
That scenario sounds very familiar.
I wish the Army had more exposure in Halo, the Marines get all the glory in the games outside of Halo Reach.
Army is basically pdfs, the unsc marines take the strategic long view in any war. Modern planetary planning and paradigms don't apply to space.
It does make sense, though. In contrast to modern warfare in the real world, the navy will always be the vanguard in any war in space. The marines therefore will always be on the frontlines, fighting the decisive battles. The army ultimately will be relegated to more of a defense force.

@@Notlordstarkeven today, the Navy and the Marines, are the most important branches, and I say this as Army myself.
@@freedomloverusa3030 And I say that the Marines and Navy could easily be overrun and outnumbered if not for the Army. As an army guy myself, I know that each branch relies on one another and would fail without the other's support.
Who doesn't love recognition for the regular mudfoot in the trenches?
HOOAHH!
Probably the chair force
@@1650th The UNSC Air Force is probably buddies with the Army consider the two are more closely linked in UNICOM than Navy/Marines in NAVCOM
If this is a UNSC recruitment ad in disguise, then I’m sold!
Very cool you covered the Army, they rarely get mentioned, even in the book lore. Think about it, when the Covenant arrives, the UNSC Navy and Marines could escape once the battle was lost but the Army is basically screwed as they don't have a real way of escaping. The Army was sacrificed on each world to the Covenant wrath, basically abandoned by the other branches (Not intentionally, just reality with fighting the Covenant). Whatever world a Trooper is on would be their tomb with no escape.
The UNSC Army made up the bulk of KIAs on any USNC death roster. While the Spartans were saving humanity and the Marines provided them backup, the UNSC Army was on the ground dying in droves just to buy them just a few more minutes.
Yes but the Army still did inflict many casualties on the Covies before eventually being wiped out
The army suffered heavily however, almost all Spartan II & III's were KIA
The whole doctrine with their use through the war was to delay the covenant as much as possible hence the III's were mass produced (for early Spartans anyways) and essentially made into suicide squads thrown where needed.
Edit: MIA* Spartans never die.
"The results were inevitable, but surrender was unthinkable."
Hot *damn*, that's a gut-punch of a sentence.
"Dear Humanity, we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"
OOH-RAH
ain't those guys technically a marine regiment?
- a marine
OOH-RAH!
@@PrograError not technically... They are which makes this quote very perplexing, given that this is supposed to be the UNSC Army vid. Hooah!
Cool, more Halo stuff.
Yeah, the UNSC Army gets so little credit for its role in the Covenant War.
hell not even a damn plank, they never receive a single credit.
Lord Hood: Lol I'm just going to invite the Army for the post-war memorial event
The fact that this video is 8 minutes long shows how little they appear in the lore.
Its like the WW2 Pacific theater. Marines get a lot of credit even though the Army put in a lot of the work
CoD Infinite Warfare's campaign was pretty much the Interstellar War. Even the good guy's dropship was a proto pelican mixed with an osprey. An underatted campaign, but it gives an idea of how humanity's first Interstellar conflict goes.
I dont want to sound contentious, but CoD Infinite Warfare was practically ripped off from Halo's early human war Lore, where Insurrection also happens on Mars. The Insurrectionists are depicted as mindlessly evil and Big Brother UNSC curbstomps em. Hell, the Globalist Army is literally named the "UNSA" in CoD.
@@xvx_k1r1t0_xvxkillme7 It's probably the best campaign CoD ever did, so ripping off HALO was apparently the best choice. -_-
@xvx_k1r1t0_xvxkillme7 oh 100%! But as rip offs go. It's a good one. Besides from the story. SDF are the dumbest bad guys. And the UN are even dumber. Who masses their entire fleet in atmosphere over one city. Which the last season of Picard did the exact same thing.
A hashtagged mix of gear from state of art infantry weapons to weapons dating from World War II is how bad it got for the UNSA
@@xvx_k1r1t0_xvxkillme7like Red Faction and several other stories? Lol
Truly some of the Finest man and Woman the unsc can offer
It's a shame how underappreciated the UNSC army is, especially with how overshadowed it is by the Marines and Navy.
The Army was really great in Reach, and the Troopers were so cool in that game.
So I'm glad they could be covered here finally, they are my favorite branch of the overall UNSC military.
And they have no known connections to certain ONI crimes against humanity.
@@danielhaire6677Just means they hide it better lol
@@malachi3749 Well, it's logical. ONI is part of UNSC Navy.
@@danielhaire6677Bruh, did you just try to "Clean Wehrmacht" the UNSC Army 😂

The UNSC Army and Air Force deserve more love
The navy is the air force...
space travel makes everything confusing.
@@mikeshogunleeno? The UNSC has a navy as the space branch, and an air force to fight in atmosphere
Foehammer lives on in our hearts!
@@mikeshogunlee did you not watch the video?
@@mikeshogunlee the UNSC does have a separate air force, but why it isnt just a part of UNSC Army aviation like how the wet navy is part of the army is beyond me.
Ahhhh the UNSC army... Cause while the marines can hitch a ride when things go bad, the army can only dig there trenches, fight in em, and die in em.
If only to buy time for others to escape the inevitable.
Well technically any Army personnel being told to evac wherever possible. The Navy would happily take them aboard, we see it in Reach.
"whenever possible"!!!
Most of the time, The naval task force above was smashed already ...
Nice to see the guys and girls of the UNSC Army finally get some recognition. Interesting to see how they're recruited into the Spartans along with the Navy & Marines.
Hopefully, post-war, the normal infantry got an armour/shield upgrade. Always felt they got the shaft when it came to protection. Lugging around all that weight, and they'd be lucky if it actually stopped a shot from a plasma pistol.
Well keep in mind that we're talking millions of individual units here, so the most cost-effective vs. combat-effective balance is what really dictates protection standards at that scale. If they have Covenant tech they could probably reverse engineer and manufacture at that demand level. Would be cool to see in-game tbh it always breaks my heart when they fight alongside you just to die randomly
@fuckmewithaspoonable Shit always comes down to cost. But basic hydrogen fuel cell powered shields should be within their tech and resourse base. Doubt 343 will ever make it happen, though. It would take away from the Spartans.
@@somethingmoredecentliterally every single elite has one and they have the means to make them I’m surprised the unsc hasn’t tried to acquire them post war
@@tomastomasi975that'd be stupid, it's already bad enough that after NEAR ANNIHILATION humanity recovered so quickly generating thousands of Spartans when a single suit of Mjolnir cost as much as a warship even near the wars end and went from ships that would be GUTTED by a single plasma torpedo to ridiculous over the top ships that could somehow survive a fucking glassing beams in 4 fucking years. 343 is full of dip shits. Humanity should be absolutely crippled, they only have like 2 or 3 dozen planets left out of 800+ AT MOST. So where the actual fuck are they getting tech and resources from? Even with forerunner tech that's not how science works, the forerunners were HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of years ahead of even the covenant. They shouldn't have fuckin dick right now. I truly DESPISE 343 for turning Halo into a cartoon joke
Love this breakdown of the UNSC army
Bro thank you for doing a video on these guys. I swear the UNSC Army get damn near NO recognition for their efforts compared to the marines and Spartans 😂✊
The fact so many images used here featuring Marines shows just how under appreciated the Army is in and out of universe
I just realized how unnoticeably crucial the insurrection was for what followed after. No rapid growth of military forces, no funds diverted to the Spartan projects.. You can imagine where I am going with this. In this one instance infighting gave them a small chance to survive an even greater threat. Will it always turn out like that though? I would imagine we would be spread thin and run out of resources.
I can imagine that the culture of the UNSC Army is similar to that of the US National Guard and Army reserves. While motivated it does see a lot of people join to be a part of the military but aren't keen on front line fighting.
given the innies it's still more a peace keeper force as soon as you leave the more pro earth colonies
I imagine you'd deploy to other planets as part of your tenure
Nah, if anything it's even more intense fighting. Marines get the love in the games but in the lore, the Covenant usually don't even put troops on the ground. They only do so when looking for Forerunner relics. Whenever they do, Army makes first contact. It's also not uncommon for planets to be lost before Marines can even get to battle.
Not all Army units were stationed on a planet. The Infinity had an Army detachment that aided in the search and securement of Halo arrays, for example. Also, keep in mind that Army units are the ones that are most likely to deal with Insurrectionists before, during and after the Human-Covenant War, so anyone who still signed up likely knew they’d be seeing combat sooner or later.
@@yorecf9641 That also depends on what type of unit you get assigned to. A support logistics unit may or may not get assigned somewhere with action. They may be on the same planet but aren't meant to be combantants.
On top of that, someone might want to be assigned to a system with innie activity since the alternative is genocidal alien zealots with plasma guns.
@@themastermason1 support still has to go with the ground pounders. Bullets don’t fly without supply. When I was in Afghanistan, we had our NBC and commo NCOs kit up and go outside the wire while our supply NCO made regular trips off base to pick up said supplies. Also, you’re in the military; you get told where you’re going. You may WANT to stay in the inner colonies, but brass can say, “Screw you; you’re going to Fumirole.”
For every one Marine who made it to orbit when a planet was lost there were easily a thousand army soldiers left behind....
Either because of the lack of room on the departing ships...or because they were holding the line against the Covenant...buying civilians and othe UNSC personnel valuable time to escape...at the cost of their lives
Humanity lost 800 worlds in the Great War againsy the Covenant...all with Army garrisons from the tens of thousands to the hundreds of millions.
The UNSC Army branch suffered more casualties out of all the others when you factor this facts and its role...
it also pretty much shows how badass the army truly are compare to the marines when you think about it, their the one with the Grizzly tanks and Colossus heavy mech.
I think that's a bit of a reach, but yeah, Army probably is the largest branch in terms of manpower
But still, when the Covenant came, it's basically free-for-all for all branches. The Navy and Marines isn't just turn tail and bail, landed Marine forces probably suffer the same fate with the rest of the planet
Holy crap, that is indeed some genocidal aliens, those Covenant.
The UNSC Army are the unsung heroes of the Halo Franchise, the defenders of Earth's Colonies
I was brainstorming a story about a decade ago focusing on the Army Spartan program with the first commander being a SIII pulled from Gamma . The program would've been more in line with the classic SF ally building and guerilla warfare kind of mission focus but with Spartans on rebel worlds.
Might be hard when you're a top-secret weapons project from drafted orphans that emphasize on squad tactics, but hey, a definitely a new idea that the Halo universe needs
sound like a "Green Beret" they focus on the exact thing you just said. Or i guess in your cause a Spartans who is a Green Beret would be more in line with what your saying
Army and Air Force in Halo are super underrated. Especially considering that - on paper - the Army is the literal main ground force with way more soldiers than the Marines, and would be fighting on the vast majority of the ground battles in Halo. A lot more soldiers, they use a lot more armor. They have better drip, this is fact.
Bear in mind that by nature, the Army is much more static and defensive. They defend the worlds that they're stationed on. The Marines are much more mobile and flexible, used more often for offensive operations, and are thus often better trained.
The Army is the shield. The Marines are the sword.
@@Cailus3542id say the army is more of the shield AND the shaft of a spear, while marines are the spearhead, being smaller but striking first, before being followed behind by the army
@@Cailus3542 Kind of but not really. The Marines are the spearhead, not the entire spear nor sword. They carve out places for the Army to land. To say the Marines are better trained is disingenuous more than anything.
Not to mention, at least during the Human Covenant War, it was a war of defense most of the time. To kick the aliens off of our worlds, the Marines showing up to help the Army often who was there first - both eventually getting overwhelmed most cases. Assuming that one, the Marines even make it to battle without the ship they are on getting one shotted by a Covenant ship, or two, if the Covenant even cared to land, often simply just overwhelming the Navy and glassing the planet from orbit with little opposing them.
Also the last thing to remember is that all of this is a grey area and Halo lore can contradict itself often, especially when it comes to UNSC branches or units. It was made by writers and devs, not soldiers. A bit of a long reply which I probably could have made shorter but oh well, you get my point.
@@Cailus3542 that is not true, not even remotely true.
@@Cailus3542Not even close. The Army is and will always be the main spear head of any planet.
Even when the surface of Reach itself melted, the will of the UNSCA didn't.
Sounds like a variation of
"Cadia needs no chair, because the Cadians are still standing!"
The Templin Institute: "I know what the ladies like."
The UNSC army has one of the best visuals in SiFi, too bad it didn't do much against the Covenant
On planet side the UNSC was the convent’s equal or close to it. The navy got smoked however.
When you're fighting a technologically and numerically superior force, there's little to be done but die.
They still held their own against the covenant though, and that was no small feat.
@@uss_prominence-1they put up very stiff resistance on the ground, just kinda a moot point when the covenant will just turn the glass beam on you when they get tired of fighting
@@uss_prominence-1 The more warrior-like races like the Elites preferred fighting when they could, its why they started questioning why the Humans weren't allowed to simply join the covenant, instead of eradicated, because humans were really good fighters and did not give up. which eventually led to the great scism and Elite alliance with the humans.
@@uss_prominence-1 Your knowledge of UNSC lore is pathetic. The UNSC is so fucking awesome, that in a war against a technologically, and way way numerically superior force it couldn't be defeated in an almost THREE DECADE long war. The naval disparity was only 3 to 1, but the groundside disparity was almost 50/50, pound for pound, same number of troops and vehicles in a battle, the UNSC curbstomps 9/10, problem was, ground forces were always heavily outnumbered, and even then the Army and by extension Marines kicked so much ass that Covie ground forces a lot of the times just ran to their navy for help.
It seems like the Halo writers fell into the midwit misconception that "Marines = Offense, Army = Defense". Realistically, relegating the majority of your armed forces to garrison duty is a recipe for strategic failure. Not a single major war in Human history has seen a nation's military confine its army, the main ground force, at home because of some arbitrary rule that only "marines" are allowed to step foot on naval vessels.
Perhaps the UNSC Navy didn't have the shipping capacity during the Human Covenant War to conduct operations large enough to necessitate Army forces (post-Halo 3 lore has no excuse though), but even then, as gargantuan as the UNSC is, the Army could theoretically just finance a fleet of their own.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever top the feeling of Halo 3's release.
The hype, the news reports and articles, the gaming mags with their build-up. It just left such an incredible experience of hype that made the game so much more awesome when it finally released.
Halo 3 is hands down on of the greatest video games and stories every crafted by the hands of humans
Glad to see UNSC Army getting some love.
Great video on the UNSC Army!
Nicely Done - Thanks for this!
*"For too many years, Humanity was the backfoot, reacting to threats rather than preventing them...rest of the galaxy was bigger than us, stronger than us. We were Mice, hiding in the shadows, hoping the Giants would not see us. No more. Humanity is no longer on the defense. We are the Giants now."*
-UNSC Capitan Lasky, before the Created Uprising and Banished/Endless Resurgence.
Reach was the best in showing that the UNSC as the vast multi branch military it should be.
The Army will always the trench slogging attritional fighting force. Never to attain the glory or budget of the Navy or Marines. Yet the Army and Air Force fight with skill and grit beyond the others by the regular trooper and pilot through to the Rangers and Airborne. For the fight on ground and air will forever determine the victor.
I just wanted to randomly pop out and say that I adore your intro. It's just so freaking good
Great video u made. I wish they made Halo games that involve Soldiers and Marines trying to survive a long losing war while trying to save many people as they could despite the massive loss of life. That would get a lot of attention.
I'm imagining a Halo ODST meets Reach combination. You have less health and no shields and are physically smaller than Spartans just like the ODSTs, while fighting a hopeless losing war against the covenant or forerunners like Reach. You'd constantly have limited ammo and need to scavenge weapons. Instead of going guns blazing like Master Chief against a whole army, you'd have to do coordinated guerilla attacks with other UNSC soldier/marine allies
The UNSC is my favorite SCI-FI military. Great Video!
Amazing content as usual love Halo content halo was the game I really grew up with an no matter what I will always love the game
UNSC Army: Why don’t anybody talk about us.. We do Things..

Absolute poetry well done Templin.
This guy is the best narrator on this channel by far, always inspires me the most, his voice just works with the artwork and everything else
Alongside the navy the army had to have suffered the worst in the war.
The army probably suffered worse. The surviving Naval ships could at least retreat from a losing battle, but the army was trapped on the planet. If they were lucky, they might be able to catch a ride on a marine transport before a planet was glassed.
This channel always does Halo and Fallout videos so so well. Not that the others aren't great too but these are a cut above!
Awesome. Now we Need one of unsc marine corp and the air force.

@@DoctorProph3t genetic manipulation to have a short life span and compliance. Thats not difficult plus genetic manipulation for quicker maturity cycle thus giving you full grown and ready infantry in years, not decades.
The problem with a war like with the Covenant becomes a war of attrition. Cant pull volunteers if everyone of use is dead. Honestly Star Wars Republic utilized clones perfectly.
Great work sir as always 👏 😊I love these lore essays, I would love to see a halo game pre covenant and UEG 😊
Yeah sounds about right even now. Marines are the the big princess of from what Ive seen all nations. Army is just pushed aside. Look at any place that sells veteran stuff. 99% of it is Marines, Navy, and airforce. As a Army Vet its a little annoying that my Branch doesnt get the recognition we all deserve
What is hysterical to me is the “better trained” misconception. Like, that is not even within swinging distance of reality. I love my Marines, they’re wonderful. But I can outlift and run circles around almost all of the Marines I’ve met.

In halo 4 Jul mdamas covenant attempted to assist the re awanked didact but ultimately failed partly because he was going insane and cortana was stopping him from using his ship in combat against the home fleet chief destroyed the ship with a havok nuke but at the cost of what we believed was cortanas life, turns out she lived the promethans basic ai or digitized essences started working for her or a fragment of her Jul mdamas covenant tried killing the arbiter before he gets assassinated by locke who was hunting down chief in halo 5 just really some random crap Cortana awakened some guardians shut down the galaxy, meanwhile the spirt of fire randomly appeared at the ark and started blowing banished things up which was really most of halo wars 2 to be honest.

A Militia titan regiment: titanfall 2
An IMC occupation force(specialized in urban warfare. Most likely deployed to angle city): titanfall 2
I think the greatest lesson to be learnt from Halo is the cost of forgetting how to conduct war, The covenant would have had a much harder time if the UNSC was as proficient as modern militaries, it's also something we are starting to see today, the western powers are having to relearn how to conduct war after being at peace for so long.
The UNSC has a wet navy?!
Can you make a video on space suit in sci fi in the future?
Heroes never die.
I am genuinely surprised you havn't done that already.
People do not realise what horrors the average soldier faced when fighting against the Covernant forces.
The army troopers had quite often no previous contact with the Covernant species and had to stand their ground against species that would burn their brother and sisters in arms with superior technology or straight up ripped them apart in Melee. Even a Grunt is not that small as it appears compared to a Spartan and a single shot from a Plasmapistol can kill a soldier.
Alot of respect for the soldiers of teh army.
The main reason we don’t hear much of them in the games at least is that we only play alongside other special forces; Marines, odst, Spartans. Except in reach mission Exodius where we see troopers instead of marines
I can only assume the prewar recruitment slogan was ‘All the action of the Navy without the inconvenient massive history of war crimes.’
babe wake up new templin institute video

If there's one thing I always wanted to join as a kid was the UNSC Army...
The Marine Corps. is cool ragged warriors and all but the Army is like the Professionals and mightiest of them all that has everything compared to the corps.
Hoo-ah marine
The marines have one thing the army often doesn't: a ride.
First time I've even heard that the UNSC had an army and not just the marines and ODSTs
I think the Army could have an intense campaign where they're dealing with separatist terrorism and guerrilla warfare.
Maybe we don't have to follow some group that did everything like COD, more like BF1 switching through various groups.
Please tell me how'd you want a Halo campaign to be like.

The UNSC Army is one of the most maligned services in Halo because of the weird focus into the marines and Spartans (which are Navy/Marines aling with the ODST's) it makes no sense how ill equipped and dumb down they have the Army. The Army would not be some sidekick to any other service it would be a cutting edge and highly trained force equipped for the 26th Century (Why are they still equipped like the 21st Century in the 26th Century) The Army would have had its own "Super Soldier" program for starters it would have invested into it's own power armor, i mean duh, who who have need PA more that the Infantryman?! They should have been the first ones to have either a PE system ( reference COD: Advance Warfare and Infinite Warfare Infantry equipment) and all Army personnel would be augmented to some degree with elite units getting more upgraded augmentations and Powered Exoskeletons and Powered Armor would be the standard not the exception and what happened to their elite Spec Ops you really believe that they would be on the sidelines waiting for Spartans to show up and save them, gtfooh! Thats just stupid, Army Spec Ops would be one some if the most lethal and best equipped SOF's in the UNSC and why would Army personnel want to be an ODST when they have Airborne and Rangers who ODST'S are modeled from,both the Rangers and Air borne can perform those same ops as ODST's i mean what do you think a 26th Century version of Airborne and Rangers would look like!? What separates the ODST'S from the Rangers and Airborne are not exotic augmentations and training, but a simple drop pod that allows them to enter the atmosphere from orbit, again what do you think a 26th Century Airborne and Ranger force would look like (equipment wise) also the Army would not be a defensive force while the Marines secure a planet for them, lol what nut came up with that, first the Army have full Expeditionary capabilities that allows them to respond rapidly, hint hint, Airborne and Rangers, also in the 26th Century the Army would have their equivalent of space Colonies as "Space Forts" for forward power projection and regional security/support (In the movie Elysium you see as an example with that colony, just arm it to the max and place Army and Air Force on it) and different regions would dictate each ones size and they would have the Air and Space Force as their rides (really the Airforce would be the premier capital ship user not no Navy,its freaking space,no water, lol and who have jurisdiction in space, yeap, the Air and Space Force,so they would also have capital ships along with support ships, just not in the nimbers as the Navy nor in the overall tonnage, the Airforce vessels would be built based on their ops , streamlined lethal stealthy (across the board) advance with an edge above and beyond the Navy (Just like today the 26th Century Airforce will pride itself on being cutting edge) so tgey will have carriers because of transporting army aviation assets and Airforce assets but large number of troops and equipment as well instead of cruisers destroyers etcetera they would have Assault Transports built from conception to engage both planetary and space enemies (btw the Airforce will use DEW's morseo than mac's, why because less weight on one hand and this fun tidbit, how can you create a Spartan laser but no ship borne laser for ship to ship combat, i believe to create smaller weapons is harder than creating bigger systems because of miniaturization of the weapon especially power source) youvthe Army and Airforce will still have that symbiotic relationship found currently it would just be the 26th Century version of that. Funny thing an Army Colonel created the S3's but never shared that with the Army,again makes no sense! Just saying 343 need to stop the backwardness of down playing the Army and the Airforce and start creating content that represents what those services will look like in a 26th century environment and its not what they show us currently!!!! Btw imagine realistically a 26th Century delta force Green berets and Rangers, the Army will not relinquish those capabilities for no reason, probably will merge all into one unit, for Example a Ranger Corps with different levels of operability, all called Rangers but at different tiers with tier 3 being traditional Rangers tier 2 "Green Beret" type and tier one Delta type
Except the modern 75th Rangers are not Tier 3 units at all and they would find the change to Tier 3 an insult considering there capabilities and operations. US Army Special Forces and the 75th Ranger Regiment are both Tier 2 Units, while the Ranger Regimental Recon Company, Delta Force and the Intelligence Support Activity are Tier 1 units of the Army.
You know, why not you guys try knight's & magic worldbuilding?
It's basically fantasy gundam, but without the bulky setting needed to study from mecha franchises. It's a good start if you ask me.
Finally something on the UNSC Army and not the Spartans, Marines, and ODSTs.
In the encyclopedia is says that there are also army rangers, I wonder if they rival the ODST’s
Suggestions for next vid. Can you do a kardashev scale of alternate world's?
Army in Halo is what Marines are in real life.
No I think army is army and marines are marines. Marines are attached to the navy and overall a smaller force, where as army make up the bulk of the force
@@sPACEmANtYLERSPACE I'm talking about more of a monetary and media attention. You know like Marines make do and crayon eating. But for the UNSC. Army.
@@dariustiapula as someone who does the army i disagree. this is not to say we can't be the assulters we can but we are much more of an occupying force IRL.
This is how the people who comments about UN being useless in real life expects the real UN to be 😅
One thing I hate about the army is that they employ marine ranks which makes no sense. One of the main characters in my future animations are mainly UNSC Army Rangers and Army infantry
UNSC is really turning into long-term martial state, doesn't it? Army performing many civil services is quite good proof of this.
I think its funny that the UNSC operates a wet navy on some planets because a few days ago, a friend and I were talking about if it would be weird or not for a space nation to still operate a wet navy even if they have space warships
It's more about costs & effectiveness. I can see the wet navy in lore is larger or about the same size as the space navy. Parking a ship in orbit to send assets where they are needed might be more resource intensive & time critical getting something to & from orbit. Park a wet naval carrier or ships near an operation combat zone on a planet would be better suited for that.
You know I wouldn't mind a Halo game where you're not a Spartan but a regular soldier in the UNSC Army. I know we had ODST, which was a fantastic game, but the ODST are considered one step below Spartans so they're still kinda sorta super human in their own way.
HALO 3: ODST was a cool game too
Maybe halo could exist in the future it would be very amazing.
The UNSC Army would be a lot more remembered if the Navy could actually do their job.
The UNSC navy did surprisingly well considering how much of a disadvantage they were at. In the beginning it was a bunch of smaller scale naval battles, but toward the end the UNSC was forced to go for broke and use large scale fleet battles and roll of the dice special operations to wipe out half of the covenant’s navy by the end. Then again it also didn’t help the covvies that atriox was wrecking them from behind their lines, so there’s that too.
Reason they appear to barely exist in Halo is that since they are the grounded and more permanent Planetary Defense force they always get slaughtered by Covenent Invasions and Glassing even more then the Marines and unlike them they aren't mobile and attached to the Navy and it's Space Ships.
Least they have big f*ck you ground stationary MAC cannons to go out with a blaze of glory. 😂
Great, now that we know about Halo how about some videos on Battletech.

My favourite thing about the Halo universe is that humanity fought with everything it had we were at a technological disadvantage it would take 5 of our ships to destroy one of theirs, they wiped all human life where ever they found it, glassing worlds some to the point of once planets teeming with life are now uninhabitable a crime in itself. And yet humanity held the line no matter the cost, because going out with a whisper isn’t what our species will do
You should do a video on PMC Wagner
UNSC Army vs Imperial Navy/Imperial Guard, who would win?
Oh I'm early, quick think of something clever......Eh.....Nope, got nothing.
Not sure if you have done it but could you do a video on Merryweather Security from GTA5
(press F to salute the UNSC Army)
I wish we could see more of the UNSC Army in Halo.
Anyway, you should do the UNSC Air Force, UNSC Marines, and the Spartan Programs soon.
Never been this early… neat
Just curious. What source material did you use? As the navy operates in space and the marines and ODST (which are the infantry in space and on the ground) are all I've ever seen or heard about. I'm not a halo guru, I'm just curious?
The Army are the predominant forces you fight alongside in Halo: Reach. They appear sporadically in the novels, and got some spotlight in the various Encyclopedias and Visual Guides.
The ODSTs are only the black-armoured troops you fight alongside in H2/3 (and of course, the game ODST). They're the special forces/shock troops of the UNSC's Marine Corps; all ODSTs are Marines, but not all Marines are ODSTs.
ODSTS and the Military police looked so cool in halo 3.
