Forum:Reach units shake-up

I feel that we should discuss here how to manage the army units mentioned and encountered in Halo: Reach, hopefully so we can finally come to a conclusion based on their naming.

Currently, we have the unit "3 Charlie" identified as a fireteam, based on seeing only three soldiers in the "Patrol" short-film. However, it has a soldier within the team identified under the callsign "3 Charlie 6", a number larger than fireteams. However, this could just be an example of a highly-inflated fireteam size in the 26th century, like Fireteam Charlie in the UNSC Marine Corps. Another unit, called 3 Echo, had a soldier in it referred to as "3 Echo 57", which would suggest that the unit is either a large platoon or a company. Yet another unit, 4 Charlie, had a soldier identified as "4 Charlie 27". "7 Charlie 40" and "7 Delta 19" also follow this.--  Fore  run  ner '' 15:44, 5 February 2011 (EST)
 * Could we assume that "3 Charlie 6" means "Third Fireteam, Charlie Squad, 6th Platoon"?--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 15:56, 5 February 2011 (EST)


 * But then that would mean that two or more "3-Charlies" were sent on the relay mission. I'm thinking either "Third Platoon, Charlie Company - soldier #6" or "Third Batallion - Charlie Company - soldier #6", of which the last part would mean the soldier's position in the smallest of the identified units.--  Fore  run  ner '' 16:09, 5 February 2011 (EST)
 * Your first idea makes the most sense, I think. I think your other theory would lead to too much confusion among larger units.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 06:55, 6 February 2011 (EST)


 * Could it be possible that it's "Third Battalion - Charlie Company - Fireteam 6"? It's still possible that more than one fireteam from "3 Charlie" was sent to investigate the relay - Holland mentions that he responded with "trooper fireteams", e.g. more than one fireteam. When Travis says "this is 3 Charlie 6" he could be referring to his whole fireteam instead of himself. The same would apply to the other units encountered in the game, for example, 3 Echo 57 would be "Third Battalion - Echo Company - Fireteam 57". --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 07:52, 6 February 2011 (EST)
