The UNSC Army Rangers are elite airborne light infantry branch of the UNSC Army and operates under Special Warfare Command (SPECWARCOM). Prior to the Human-Covenant War Army Rangers served as forward scouts for UNSC Forces, often deployed on contested worlds to carry out anti-crime and anti-piracy operations or sabotaging enemy forces. During the Human-Covenant War they were often deployed to glassed or occupied worlds to conduct special reconnaissance, sabotage enemy forces and organize uprisings and rebel groups behind enemy lines. Despite their long and illustrious background, they were of limited effectiveness during the War as the space superiority and brutality of the Covenant often left them with little places to be deployed to.

Following the War, consideration was given to absorb duties carried out by Army Rangers into the newly minted Spartan Branch. However, individuals within High Command (HIGHCOM) recognized the value of Ranger units and their usefulness to the Army, therefore the Army Rangers were to be maintained and would often operate alongside Spartan Branch. During the Created Crisis, some units managed to escape while the vast majority of deployed Ranger teams would be left abandoned on the planets they were deployed to, or were imprisoned on-board their ships by the ship board A.I.
