User:Spartan 501/Taskforce Arrow

Taskforce Arrow is a UNSC Fleet under the command of Four Star Admiral James McHenry. It is used in both defense and planetary siege, and carries the 485th Marine Regiment and the 32nd Naval Air Battalion on it's carriers, frigates, and cruisers.

History
Taskforce Arrow was first formed in 2598 to be given to the newly minted Rear Admiral James McHenry. It was comrpised of seven vessels, and was given to the Admiral as a chance for him to prove himself. During the first eight years of it's existence, it fought in a 18 naval engagements against the Remnant. Taskforce Arrow won all of the battles but one, and took only a single casualty, a Heimdall-class Frigate. After eight years on the front, Taskforce Arrow was recalled to Gundark. It's numbers were bolstered with several new ships and a new flagship, and it resided there until 2607, when the Remnant attacked Kanna. Taskforce Arrow was one of the many ships that left for the planet, and during the battle, the fleet performed a reentry burn into the atmosphere, to deliver troops directly onto the battlefield. After Kanna, the fleet returned to Gundark, where it remained until 2615, when McHenry retired. After this, the Taskforce was scattered, and absorbed into other units and fleets.

Fleet Units
Taskforce arrow was first made up of seven craft. In it's early days, it was commanded by an Odin-class Carrier, and bolstered by two Baal-class Destroyers and three Heimdall-class Frigates, as well as a single Minerva-class Prowler. After it's first eight years of duty, the Taskforce was then made up of thirteen ships, including a Zeus-class Super Carrier, five Heimdall-class Frigates, four Baal-class Destroyers, and two Thor-class Cruisers.

Role
For most of it's early career, Taskforce Arrow was used almost exclusively offensively, battling Remnant forces and hammering away at their navy. Later on, after it grew in size, it was used mostly as a defensive vessel, as it was stationed in one place, protecting Gundark from attack. It was also used as a relief vessel during the Battle of Kanna, to help save the planet.
