There is more information available on this subject at Fireteam on the English Wikipedia. |
A fireteam is the smallest organization that ground forces are assigned to in the UNSC Army, Marine Corps and Spartan branch. As the smallest unit, it serves as the base upon which all other units are organized. The closest organizational unit in the Covenant military is known as a lance.
Background
Function
The concept of the fireteam is based on the need for tactical flexibility in infantry operations. They generally consist of approximately four soldiers or Marines who are formed into a squad. Generally, a squad contains three fireteams.
A fireteam is capable of autonomous operations as part of a larger unit. Successful fireteam employment relies on quality small unit training for troops, experience of its members operating together, sufficient communications infrastructure, and a quality non-commissioned officer corps to provide tactical leadership for the team.
Under the UNICOM rank structure, Fireteams are led by an E-4 Corporal, with an E3 Lance Corporal serving as the Fireteam Assistant.[1]
