Fireteam (gameplay mechanic)

Fireteam is a gameplay mechanic found in Halo: Reach. With it, the player can recruit up to five UNSC Army, Militia, Marine and ODST troopers found through the campaign. These troopers will then follow the player throughout the level, and their status is shown in the player's HUD next to the motion tracker. Each friendly combatant has a randomly assigned name and rank, which are based on Bungie staff members and are not tied to their in-game models.

Trivia

 * Brent Abrahamsen's callsign is "CASH", which is fitting as he is Bungie's Chief Financial Officer.
 * C. Errera, the soldier referencing Claude Errera, was previously mentioned in Halo 2's Conversations From the Universe. In it, he was noted to be a deceased Corporal sniper spotter who recorded a conversation between two Grunts during the Fall of Reach. Canonically, it is unlikely that they are the same soldier, but it is possible that they only share their surnames and the first letter of their first name.
