Legion

A legion is a moderate size of Covenant ground troops, roughly equivalent in size to a UNSC battalion, which are made up of four maniples that are grouped together. They are commanded by either Jiralhanae Captain-Majors, or Sangheili Generals.

While maniples tend to be specialist organizations that combine vehicles and infantry in order to emphasize a desired role, legions are more generalist combined-arms units. They are the smallest Covenant ground formation to incorporate a true administrative council, which allows them to divide their forces and plan their attacks strategically. If a warhost proved itself, legions were permitted to adopt them under their command.
