Fire Team Charlie

Looking for Fire Team Charlie, the machinima?



Fire Team Charlie was a United Nations Space Command Orbital Drop Shock Trooper unit stationed aboard the Pillar of Autumn that actively participated in the Battle of Installation 04.

Appearances
During the assault on the Truth and Reconciliation, Fire Team Charlie, led by Sergeant Parker, was present in the Covenant ship during the attack and they help the Master Chief greatly. This marine strike team was professionally murdered by Stealth Elites armed with Energy Swords once separated from SPARTAN-117. However, from Cortanas reports, the marines gave a good fight against their attackers, as Master Chief came across several Covenant Elite corpses, ridden with bullet holes. Fire Team Charlie died for a good cause; Captain Jacob Keyes was released from his Covenant prison cell by the Master Chief. It is presumed that some of Fire Team Charlie survived the battle on the Truth and Reconciliation because some of the Marines were kept in reserves.

Fire Team Charlie also was seen in Halo: Combat Evolved in the first scene of level Pillar of Autumn, but were not named until the second level, Halo. This Fire Team Charlie was part of Staff Sergeant Johnson's Platoon and was with Captain Keyes and Johnson when they went searching for a weapons cache that turned out to be the Flood in 343 Guilty Spark (Level). Fire Team Charlie's Marines were either turned into Flood Combat Forms or went MIA either onboard the Truth and Reconciliation. The only known "survivor" of the expedition to search for the "weapons" was Jenkins, who was controlled by a weaker Infection Form. He proceeded to alert the Marines of the Flood's presence below Alpha Base. The victims of the Infection Forms were either killed by Johnson during his flee from the weapons cache, destroyed by SPARTAN-117's during his escape from the facility, defeated by McKay's ODST Platoon, destroyed aboard the Infinite Succor, or were killed during the destruction of Halo.
