Alpha Company was the first company of Spartan-IIIs.
Background
Alpha Company was the first company of Spartan-III's to be trained. This group originally had 497 trainees recruited between the ages of four, five and six years old, but only 300 of them became Spartan-III's.[1] The children were orphaned by Covenant attacks on various colonies including Jericho VII, Harvest and Biko. When they were found, all of them joined to exact revenge on the Covenant.
From the moment they arrived on the planet Onyx, they were tested. That night they were instructed to paradrop to the designated pickup location.[2] They then began their training at Camp Currahee on Onyx instructed by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose, a SPARTAN-II, on December 27, 2531.[3] They went active in November of 2536 after they "graduated".
They fought at Insurrection of Mamore, The Battle of New Constantinople, in the Bonanza Asteroid Belt, and the Far-gone Colony Platforms, along with 6 other engagements.[4] However, every single one of them died during Operation: PROMETHEUS, although they destroyed a massive Covenant shipyard in the process.[5]
It is also mentioned in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx that some of the Alpha Company members who didn't make the cut became drill instructors and went out of their way to make life miserable for the recruits of Beta Company.
