A Company was a company of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers under the command of Major Antonio Silva assigned to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552.
History[edit]
A Company was one of four companies present within 22nd Tactical when the UNSC Pillar of Autumn arrived at Installation 04 on September 19, 2552. They took part in the defense of the cruiser from Covenant boarding parties before landing on the ringworld via SOEIV. They organized under Major Silva and, along with D Company, were assigned to stay at the initial camp set up by the ODST force while First Lieutenant McKay's B Company proceeded to get in position for the attack, and C Company headed toward a Pelican landing zone for aerial insertion.[3]
A and D Companies would be attacked by a force of roughly one hundred Ghosts in this time, but would eventually prevail and go on to capture Alpha Base while Covenant forces were distracted by B Company.[3] By the time of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117's destruction of the ringworld, A Company was destroyed.
