UNSC Military Branches & Ranks Explained | Halo Lore

- In this video we dive into the fictional ranks of the United Nations Space Command or UNSC from the Halo Universe. After doing a little research and digging in to the lore of the UNSC I was quite surprised that there were different branches actually resembling that of the current United States Military. I also figured it would be worth it to explore these ranks because I get quite a few comments in my previous videos about the Space Force regarding Halo ranks and mostly mentioning Master Chief. Hope you guys enjoy and make sure to leave a comment below! Cheers
The soldiers in Halo: Reach is actually the first time we got to see the UNSC Army.
and look how that turned out
This post brought to you by the UNSC Marine Corps: We know what the ladies like!
@@DeltaDanner indeed, the Navy and Marines ran away while the Army fought to the death and denied the enemy capture. Sounds like real life
Wasn't there army troopers in halo CE to? Or was that really REALLY outdated marine uniforms lol.
@@Demicleas nah that was 343 being lazy and using same assets with different texture
@@antinoble6215 this is just my opinion but I think that there are a some army units in Halo CE remember halo CE takes place after halo reach so I’m pretty sure captain Keyes is not going to leave any army units or any service branch just to die in reach. But for the models in halo ce I kinda agree with the whole reusing old models.
We all thought of halo when the space force debuted
I thought of the future of humanity. And how beneficial the space force will be.
*sings Halo theme*
@@captainjackpugh6050 hence thinking of halo because *spartans*
@@KrOnIc343 Where were spartans talked about?
@@captainjackpugh6050 I mean they had that super soldier program talked about years ago
If the UN does some stuff in space it better be called UNSC
That moment when Microsoft sues the world government
I agree!☝️
There already is it's called united nations security council
YES

unsc air force kinda thick ngl👀
I think unsc air force main mission is logistics at space & ground mission!
Lol it looks like just a female wearing a Spartan skin suit with an ODST helmet variation

She is thick lmao

From what I can tell Master Chief is naval personnel… considering he hold the rank of Master Chief
Master Chief Petty Officer, which is the highest rank of personnel enlisted in the Navy. I endured 3 years in NJROTC, might as well put it to use for once
@@dukewild5071I mean dude deserves it.
And also considering the fact that he got bumped up 3 ranks at once in order to get Master Chief Petty Officer. Which was also never heard of before.
@@dukewild5071hahahah how tufff you are being on the jrotc 😂😂😂
@@italysr at the end of his comment he said ", might as well put it to use for once" he was not trying to be tough and it was relevant to how he knew of rank
The Navy and UNSC Marines get most of the budget in the Halo future apparently
It would make sense tho given the nature of combat
Not really. Most combat was on the ground, so the army should be getting a lot of funding.
The problem is the army was wiped out at Harvest, and the UNSC decided to never try and bring it back, which was stupid .
@@matthewchristian9591the marines replaced the army largely
Marines and "most of the budget" sounds weird
Spartan IIs appear to adhere to the UNSC Navy rank structure, and considering their close relationship with ONI Section 3 that makes sense. Furthermore the Spartan IIIs were primarily divided into four companies, of which most held Navy ranks, such as Petty Officer. However, there was one notable exception, Noble Team, who were part of the UNSC Army Special Warfare Group Three, held Army ranks, such as Commander, Lieutenant Commander, Warrant Officer, and Lieutenant.
Commander, and Lieutenant Commander are not Army ranks, even in the UNSC. They'd have to be Navy, or they would be Colonels and Lt. Colonels.
Noble Team are still using Navy ranks
@@theanarchist7575 Emile is the only who used army ranks
@@sion6789 His rank is a warrant officer, which is used in at least 4 branches of the UNSC military, including Navy. It is also used in at least 4 branches of the US military
The US air forces don't have warrant officers@@theanarchist7575
In the lore Spartans listened to higher ups from all branches. In the fall of reach red team (made of Spartan 2s)was sent to reach to defend a orbital defense generator. A naval chief of operations sent a destress call saying they needed evac. Fred (Navy, sp2, LT jr grade)acknowledged and the chief told them to come to assist. Fred even said “they couldn’t jus disobey a direct order from a higher up and sent a strike team to retrieve them. That was on a ground op not in space or on a ship. Spartan Kurt (Navy,LT COM ,Spartan 2) was order by a army colonel to come with him to over view the Spartan 3 programme(orchestrated by ONI). He said that since he was a higher up rank then him he would tech still have to listen to him as long as it didn’t over ride his previous orders. And in halo reach noble 6 (spartan lll)was a LT, Carter (sp 3) was a commander, Emile (sp3) a warrant officer, Kat(sp3) a LT commander , jun(sp3) a warrant officer and jorge (sp 2) a chief warrant officer. All where officially navy but listened to a colonel until ONI switched commands over to dr Halsey (ONI) (Those r the most notable of the Spartans) it’s confusing at first but it’s cool 😂💯
Noble team were not navy. They were actually an army spec ops team under the unsc army specwarcom
Is it a possibility to assume that the spartans are like the Navy SEALS?
“I swore an oath to humanity not the Navy”
@@k1llerbee165no cause that's what odsts are
@@nolopez9025NOBLE Team was attached to the UNSC Army, but like all other Spartans, they were considered Navy assets and therefore held naval ranks.
we need a halo game that expands on the UNSC air force
Gimme a Halo Ace Combat game.
Rip halo wars 3
Pretty sure the Air Force is Just part of the navy
A Halo Marines game would be cool. Teach players they are more vulnerable.
Could be the same as halo 3 odst who are more special trained than the regular forces
Look at the air force in the thumbnail bruh💀
Guess I'm going flying
Every branch of the UNSC military flies aircraft
@@aidenheck2944 Like how the USMC has Marine Aircraft Groups or the US Army had Aircraft groups yeah, but they don't got dem AIRFORCE UNIFORMS GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Spartans cannot give or be given orders to/from navy or ONI personnel"
ONI: Are you sure about that?
Shame we dont know much about the army and airforce. Marines, spartans, and odst's usualy the main focus of series. I love the odst's as they are my favorite in halo but i think we need see more of the army and airforce in the games.
Wish there wore more fps halo spin offs tbh like odst or reach to expand on lore
We do see the army in Reach,
@@Vomit326 The army got steam rolled by the covenant. RIP REACH
I'd love to see an AC style game with the UNSCAF. Gimme a Halo game that I'm a Pilot in.
@@BeautifulGreen252 Are you Mr. Incredible ?
I like that you used one of my old techsuit pinups for the air force model in the thumbnail.
Love your fookin art man.
As a Space force gauradian he is an expert on such matters
Haven't you been on one of those TR-3B's yet,
dusting your boots from red sand?
Just a phantasy
I could imagine that some models could carry 16 boarding crews beside 4 in the cockpit.
I love how you have what's definitely a stacked lady Spartan in only her skin tight techsuit and helmet for the UNSC air force in the thumbnail. Worst of all I know the SFM artist that made the original image.
New intro is sweet man! Keep up the great content
Why you gotta put Spartan ass in the thumbnail, I’m here so it obviously worked
It doesn’t make sense on how the Spartans who are trained in almost everything can’t command any other units besides spartans.
A Spartan could have unreasonable expectations for a non-spartan unit. Imagine a seasoned Navy SEAL commanding a 18 man team of untrained 12 year olds to capture a base and you'll get the idea.
If Deemed necessary they can take full control of all command.
But thats rare.
John and Fred are probably the few that can totally take control.
The UNSC SPRTANs are all reinforced by titanium
and neural reflex enhancements.
It will be impposible to let other troops " interfere " the operations.
Besides, The UNSC SPARTANs are specially designed
for space warfare and eliminating the Covinents.
They are the TACTICS itself.
@@denzelcounts7036Stuff like that takes place in modern day warfare. US units literally had to train many Afghanis to fight the taliban, and yes those Afghanis would fight along with and be commanded by US servicemen. Many of the Afghanis lacked basic knowledge, for example, a lot of them were confused trying to do a basic jumping jack.
Right? Theyre always talking about how smart and tactically adept they are so why aren't they the ones GIVING the orders??? Theyre like biological supercomputers of mass destruction but noooo they just look cool and shoot bad guys
Thank you for your service. Love your videos I hope to serve in the future! Gotta finish up college first.
Finally! someone makes a unsc ranking system video!
Love the vid man thank you for serving :)
The thumbnail is like "We need some way of getting people to fly!! They all wanna shoot on the grounds!!!" then the other advertiser was like "Ok how bout we show thicc?"
Just found this channel, absolutely in love
Dope vid, subbed instantly!
Finally a new video, magnificent intro!💪 I'll wait for you on twich, I'm the one who told you about the bunkers
You sure Spartans are not apart of the more navy side considering master Chief is a spartan??? His title is Master Chief petty officer John 117, you talk of spartan commander and all that it reminds me of the modern day navy how we have ATTWO and watch commanders and things of the sort. Just my thoughts tho not saying you are wrong just how I always looked at it.
Master Chief is a part of the Spartan II program. The Spartan II program was under the jurisdiction of the Navy. Spartan branch which is made up of Spartan IV's came afterwards.
@@christopherbrown6523 thanks for clearing that up because i too was confused
Spartans were originally part of the Navy. But once the Spartan IV program began they became their own branch. A bit like how the Space Force was part of the Air Force then became its own branch, or how Air Force was originally part of the Army.
spartans dont belong to the navy, they belong to ONI and halsey in particular, however NOBLE team was an exception, as they belonged to the unsc army special warfare group until their reassignment by ONI
@@quinnwhite8761 That's not correct. Originally the Spartan team was apart of the Navy, they were not a seperate branch just like Navy SEALs aren't a seperate branch
I just found you and WOW, anyone who loves halo IS A FRIEND OF MINE
thanks for the lore great video
I wonder if in 300 years we will have spartan type of armor?
Our Government... Well multiple Government's around the world are probably doing human experiments so who knows.
I also want to know. Why don't the US military make helmets like in Halo? Having a HUD in the right corner of your helmet would probably prove pretty useful in combat.
Expensive as hell to mass produce.
Look up "installation00 Project Mjolnir"
There's some new prototype helmets with augmented reality stuff, so maybe.
i doubt it will happen in our lifetime our even our children chlidrens lifetimes when have fullface helmet the most important think you want is awareness to whats around you dont want blindspots thats why making spartan like gear is kinda stupid idea to waste money on good for airsoft bad for actual battle maybe very very very far in the future then make something samliiar
I hope we form a military likes this in future
It will never happen lmao
@@TUGBOATMCMUFFIN this true indeed kids think uNSC and spartasn about to becoem real when military around the world has trouble with recruitment lol
@NobleSix-1403 drafting children to be conscripted for military is illegal and unethical. In the halo world, How is it that parents can't have any control of consent for they're children from being selected to be in the military by underage of 18 or even less? UNSC Government is obviously wanting more power than the people which is compete tyranny. Gotta disagree with that fictional idea. Keep dreaming halo fans.
"Put your hot pockets in the microwave and lets get into it"
*Ad starts*
huh... That was perfect timing.
Thank you for your service sir. My grandfather was in the navy and my uncle was a marine
The ODST background music goes hard
Funny thing, people forget that Navy needed Marines on their Ships so they could get the fuck out and also protect Civilians. UNSC Army aren’t the poster boys of Halo, that’d be the SFs, Navy, Marines, and Elites.
My fav guy lets go
Appreciate you bro 🙏🏾
Thicc ODST in the thumbnail. On your left!
The T in ODST actually stands for thicc
@@TheNikeAirman - wow... it all makes so much sense now.
ODST = oh damn she thicc
Cant help but see the rookie425 odst in the thumbnail
What is that?
The odst in the thumbnail is packing the rain from Mombasa
Why is the pilot for the air force caked up tho
Sorry man, you missed Sgt. Major when you did the Marines.
What about the Spartan Branch? They turned it into it's own Branch I think in the times of Halo 4 beyond.
Can you do ODST
What about the ODSTs
Subbed
I like the covenant but more the elites. can you do the same with the elites??
Don't forget to mention spartan operations, the newest branch within the unsc military's armed forces. And a newer component within the unsc unified ground command.
Idk what the one on the left is but I want in
5:05 what is that clip from?
Why is the UNSC Airforce person in the thumbnail so cheeked
Can you do the Expanse
The thicc odst on the thumbnail is one sneaky yet effective tactic in todays analytics. 😂
Good lord the Air Force hits different.
Yooo thumbnail for the UNSC airforce
You forgot Sergeant Major in the Marines enlisted ranks A.J. Johnson was a Marine Sergeant Major in the games.
Video starts at 2:00
The fact that you're able to film yourself doing things and training in uniform, and publish it shows how lax the air force is.
Why the odst in the thumbnail got it bro?
Thank you for your cervix
Lmao, I dunno if you're being ironic or not lmao.
@@vincentmalasawmkimajongte7489 it’s a pretty common joke.
@@ja0298 no I meant you saying cervix instead of service
@@vincentmalasawmkimajongte7489 yes, that’s part of the joke.
Should note that prior to the Spartan 4s the Spartans were directly under and apart of O.N.I and were given naval ranks.
Can I get a link to the thumbnail. Doing a halo RP and would like to use it
So what rank was lord hood? And why was he called “lord”
Do alliance rank structure from mass effect
Actually, the space force of the United States
is really supported by the allien space fleets.
The space fleets make sure the security of sattellites and orbits,
while the carrer of the space force is to supply the intelligence on surface
and making sure the space special troops will be on target at time.
Space force makes more sense if you do research on project solar warden
Actually some fun facts about the UNSC Air Force is that many of their pilots and combat personnel are actually trained in boarding actions. Take this with a grain of salt because I read this in an article YEARS ago so my memory may be fuzzy; but in the Halo Reach Missions where you’re piloting the Sabre the other pilots are UNSC Air Force personnel and the pilots that board with you are also Air Force. Now for the crew that come on with Jorge I’ve read and heard from conflicting sources that they’re either Air Force or Army.
What always bothered me was seeing Captain Keyes rank on his uniform as a captain in the Marines/Army Officer rank structure. That Captain is an 0-3. It would have made a lot more sense to have his rank symbol as the Naval Officer Captain, which is what he was, and is an O-6. Silver bird instead of the 2 silver bars.
Actually are u a part of the space force? I'm new to the channel.
I like how this is just you reading an exact copy of the halo wiki.
I was stationed in Hawaii too
Bro chose right with that thumbnail
When I heard out those babies in the microwave it took me a second to realize he was talking about the hot pockets
Great to see some people take a look at halo file in rank most people don't know this but up until halo wars 1 and reach the UNSC was fighting "innies" in insurrection world's for generations kind of like the endless wars that happening overseas
Imagine taking all that time editing to make it seem like your in the military
Need more info on the Air Force
Ikr? They got my attention
Let's have a theoretical discussion.
What if DUNE is real on Mars.
What do you think might be the inter solar politics between Eart and Mars?
Maybe some day Earth seeks to expand and Mars society doesn't like
or does like and seeks to pull Earth to elevated stabdards of living...
Thats where possibly US SPACE FORCE MARINES/ SEALS / SF ect
might be placed....I guess at first as clandestine missions
to settle some base camps and recon squads, to evaluate what the others can do.
There are MANY who wonder... Who made that ODST so thicc...
We need the artist name!
Why is the Air Force a caked up odst
And has anybody noticed that we have no sea ships or units in halo lore? That would be great if 343i just added it
In my opinion the UNSC Air Force officer ranks should use commonwealth Air Force officers ranks to be more unique.
The space force is a complete way since the Air Force and a lot of the army was already doing all the work. There was no need for another branch
Ay why the hell is the Air Force cheeked up
I like how air force just looks like a female wearing a Spartan skin suit with a odst helmet lol
Must be nice not to have any regs in the AF. 😏
Oh it is 😂
@@peyjoa
I bet. 😆
Who clicked cause of thumbnail
I don't understand the Spartan rank structure. Where does Master Chief fall in since in today's navy that would be top enlisted E9 rank.
Yo bro you Filipino ?
You forgot about us army officer
Notice no coast guard or national guard which makes sense for it also E-3 Fireman I am rn so if I was a Spartan then I'll have 3 stripes on the side of my helmet
It will be year 2500. I would be very proud if the weakest unsc marine is as badass as 2000 best soldiers. It would be nice if there would be marine commandos(not odst). With different armor. And stealth marines. Or heavy marines. Or special ops. I would definitely play a halo game as a marine with squad members or solo
You also have to understand the Navy and Coast Guard are eventually are going to space and they are gonna bitch and bray about usaf taking their rank structure.
Bruh why is the Air Force caked up like that?
S T O L E N V A L O R
Space ships fly tho ?? So wouldn’t that be in the purview of the Airforce?
You could've chosen a DIFFERENT character for your thumbnail. The UNSC doesn't serve cornhub
Ayo the photo in the thumbnail for the air force I know where it’s from and I can’t blame ha
from a dude named Rookie425 and i don't know the original picture of that odst but he does make similar posts on occasion
Yeah I’ve followed him on devianart
I'm sorry people were accusing you. It doesn't matter what branch you are. You're a serviceman no matter what. With love from Private Second Class. YANKEE
The UNSC uses the UNICOM Ranking structure for all planetary defense forces. Not the US Military ranks.
The UNSCDF Army seems to be very redundant and at worst vulnerable...
He gets wrong there and I won't blame him. UNSC marine corps is used as a rapid advance invasion force, expedition army and ship security duites. Meanwhile, the army is used in longer ground combat, holding critical infrastructure, holding and securing long term enemy territory or planet and used as garrison force in friendly UNSC planets. So the army scope is very large.
Like marines invade and capture areas and then the army comes for more long ground campaigns in enemy planets and securing and protecting critical areas while marine force do expedition missions.
