Covenant Special Operations

Special Operations (SpecOps) was the specialized operations division of the Covenant's Special Warfare Group.
== Overview ==
The Covenant's Special Operations was established by the Special Warfare Group for the execution of specialized operations. Special Operation units were typically sent on missions with acute and specific objectives and were not associated with any broader Covenant military application. The division's objectives covered the sabotage of enemy installations and supply lines, assassinations, stealth infiltration, and retrieval of Forerunner artifacts, although it was an extremely versatile group and capable of performing low-risk sentry or defense missions. Special Operation units also participated in classified missions that were personally commissioned by a Hierarch of the Covenant.
Personnel within this group were regarded as skilled warriors of the Covenant military, deployed to perform unconventional, high-risk operations. Members of the Special Operations had proved themselves on the battlefield in both martial combat and marksmanship.
