Company
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A company is a military unit employed in multiple military forces. ContentsCompanies by military[edit]Covenant[edit]The Covenant military employs companies, or some equivalent thereof.[Note 1] A Kai'd is considered a cross between a traditional UNSC company and a pack of bloodthirsty warriors[1], and a company of roughly one hundred Yanme'e are typically assigned to Covenant brigade-equivalents to serve as scouts.[2] Forerunner[edit]The Forerunner military used the term company to describe a unit of Prometheans, the most powerful class of Warrior-Servant. 343 Guilty Spark considered a single company powerful enough to restore order during the Battle of Installation 04, with "trademark lethality".[3] UNSC Armed Forces[edit]The UNSC Armed Forces employ companies, using them as an organisational unit within the Marine Corps and Army.[4][5] Organization[edit]A UNSC company contains four platoons plus a group of personnel assigned as "Company Headquarters Section", which totals to 164 personnel. A company is commanded by a captain, with a first lieutenant serving as the company's executive officer.[5][6] In addition, a company may appoint a "company sergeant" - a staff sergeant or gunnery sergeant who acts as the assistant company commander.[5][6] The twelve companies of a brigade or regiment are identified phonetically "A" (Alpha) through "M" (Mike) with the exclusion of "J" (Juliet). The first battalion consists of companies A through D, while the second battalion is composed of companies E through H, and so forth.[5] Generally, an infantry company would be composed of three infantry platoons and one heavy weapons platoon. Though, these numbers are flexible depending on the unit type and mission. "T" companies, for example, eschew this model and mix their heavy weapons personnel into each platoon so all the platoons have one heavy weapon squad.[5] An ODST company may be comprised of between six and eight combat teams (though this can vary from company to company), with each combat team comprised of 10-14 personnel, allowing ODST companies to have roughly between 60-112 personnel on average.[7] The SPARTAN-III program divided the Spartans into Alpha,[4] Beta,[4] and Gamma Companies,[4] with a Delta Company planned but not trained,[8] composed of approximately 300 Spartans per unit.
