Fireteam

A Fire Team is a small United Nations Space Command military unit of infantry.

Introduction
The concept of the Fire Team is based on the need for tactical flexibility in infantry operations. They generally consist of approximately four soldiers, although can include up to seven soldiers (i.e. Fireteam Charlie-on Halo ), and are grouped into squads.

Function
A Fire Team is capable of autonomous operations as part of a larger unit. Successful fire team employment relies on quality small unit training for soldiers, experience of Fire Team members operating together, sufficient communications infrastructure, and a quality non-commissioned officer corps to provide tactical leadership for the team. A team is effective so long as its primary weapon remains operational, such as the MA5C ICWS Assault Rifle or BR55 Battle Rifle.

Members
''Note: The number of soldiers, their armament, and their roles in the team may vary from fire team to fire team. For example some teams may include a Grenadier or incorporate a Rocket Launcher as one of their weapons. The following is just one possibility.''


 * Leader: First in command, provides tactical leadership. A Fire Team is usually lead by a Sergeant, such as Sergeant Johnson, but a Corporal can also lead. Usually wields a Rifle but Avery J. Johnson is known to sometimes carry a Sniper Rifle.
 * Rifleman: Usually carries an Assault Rifle or Battle Rifle and provides suppressive fire for the team.
 * Assistant Rifleman: carries extra Ammunition.
 * Automatic Rifleman: carries a light machinegun for added firepower.
 * Scout: Looks out for any signs of hostile enemy forces. Would normally carry a scoped weapon such as the BR55HB SR Battle Rifle but could possibly carry a Sniper Rifle.
