The UNSC Army is the second largest branch of the UNSC military following the Navy, and is dedicated almost entirely to land-based military operations. The Army serves as the UNSC's primary infantry fighting force, and is almost always the first branch to respond in the event of a Covenant ground invasion.
Background
The United Nations Space Command was created by the United Nations during the Interplanetary War of the mid-twenty-second century. After the UNSC victory, overpopulation on Earth became a major issue in the early twenty-second century. This issue was resolved by colonizing and constructing vast cities on other planets in the Orion Arm of the galaxy, the Inner colonies and later the Outer Colonies.
The UNSC's defensive militia forces is the UNSC Defense Force (UNSCDF), and consists of the UNSC Air Force, the UNSC Army, the UNSC Marine Corps and the UNSC Navy.
