User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Sangheili Field Army

The Sangheili Field Army is responsible for land-based operation conducted by the Sangheilian Armed Forces. It is the primary invasion force for the Sangheili and the Republic of Sangheili Meritocracy and houses numerous Special Operations units.

Function
The Sangheili Field Army comprises of the majority of the Sangheilian Armed Forces ground-based infantry and armoured units, and is tasked with engaging the enemies of the Sangheili in ground and air combat. The Sangheili in the SFA use a variety of equipment, weaponry and vehicles: while all weaponry and vehicles are taken from the Covenant Empire but are designed for the Sangheili hand grip and body shape.

As the Sangheili are no longer part of the Covenant Empire, they no longer have any 'lower' species to perform menial tasks, act as cannon fodder or be a walking tank. This new self-reliance forced the Sangheili to diversify into specialized warriors - such as Heavy Weapon Specialists, Snipers and newly formed Technicians. As the Prophet's religion was renounced, the more devouted members of the Sangheili were slowly replaced with more military compentent leaders.

The Sangheili Field Army is divided into Legion, a military unit similar to the UNSCDF Battalion. The standard Legion has six thousand Sangheili overall led by single Legate, similar to the UNSC rank of Colonel. Beneath them Sangheili called Optio or Lieutenants that command fifteen Warriors in a Lance.
