The 485th Infantry Regiment is a UNSC unit comprised of 3,200 troops, attached the UNSC Taskforce Arrow, under the command of Admiral James McHenry.

History

The 485th was formed in 2606 and was comprised primarily of raw recruits, made specifically for the newly bolstered Taskforce Arrow. The majority of its number was placed aboard the UNSC Sol-class Command Carrier New York, which carried 2,200 of the troops. The remainder were spread out over five frigates, 200 per ship. The 485th's first battle was a small skirmish, when smugglers entered Gundark orbit, hoping to ship stolen arms right under the UNSC's nose. This happened in mid 2606, and two frigates were sent to intercept. 400 troops boarded the pair of smuggling craft, subduing a small group of around a dozen smugglers in a show of utter overkill.

The 485th continued to serve, through the years, but was dispersed when Taskforce Arrow was disbanded with the retirement of Amdiral James McHenry.

Organization

The 485th was organized into five battalions of 640 troops, which were each split into 4 companies of 160. These were further organized into 4 platoons of 40, and 4 squads of ten, which were split into two fireteams of 5.
