Combat team

A combat team is a type of UNSC Marine Corps unit. It is often confused with a fireteam and the names are often interchanged. A combat team (or a section) is composed of two UNSC Marine squads and numbers about 8-12 Marines, led by a Sergeant or Staff Sergeant. A fireteam is smaller: 4-5 Marines.

The way to differentiate between the two is this: A fireteam is part of a squad. A squad is part of a combat team. By this logic, Fire Team Charlie and Fire Team Zulu were technically combat teams. A fireteam would provide covering fire for the rest of the squad or an assault team to flank and destroy the enemy.
