A Spartan team in Gauss Warthogs, Grenade Launcher Falcons, and maybe a Tank.
The UNSC doesn't even need to go into their ships. The Spartans in those vehicles alone could probably take over the entire northern hemisphere.
Don't be a -blam!- fanboy, an A-10 Thunderbolt, woould easily -blam!- any tanks and ground vehicles the UNSC can muster.
Spartans ? What sppartans, as far as I'm concerned aren't practicly most of them either missing or dead ?
Hell what ever air forces the UNSC could obtain would be obliterated by the myriad of fleets from all the worlds forces.
Heck doesn't the PLA have like 3 million troops in its army ?
The only reason the over glorified UNSC wins is JUST because of its orbital weaponry, at least in the short term, besides we have the advantage in numbers.
Sure, assuming that this is going to be about the world fighting a weary war torn UNSC.
In its prime, the UNSC would be the victors by far. The numbers of the Earth's military forces today would be pale in comparison to the numbers of a military force that spans a good chunk of the galaxy. The UNSC has the resources and manpower from a great many planets with the logistics to support a campaign against present day Earth. Present day Earth only has the resources it has now and only here.
The UNSC has numbers, technology, and resources the forces of present day Earth cannot hope to muster. Just face facts. If you want to go about how one single present day unit is fantastic against so and so UNSC unit go right ahead. But in the face of a full scale war it won't mean a thing as the UNSC would outlast the present day forces. It isn't "just" because of orbital weaponry.
I guess it is sort of like the Spartan IIs Vs the Covenant. They were arguable the best soldiers ever fielded in the Human-Covenant war between both sides. Yet ultimately they could not win the war for Humanity straight up - There were not enough of them, and they could not take on starships. In the same sense, anything that we have just now that may happen to be better than what the UNSC has, like a few guns, vehicles or aircraft, is inconsequential.
