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 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, helped SPARTAN-117 assault the Covenant ship to rescue Captain Jacob Keyes. This marine strike team was professionally murdered by Stealth Elites armed with Energy Swords once separated from SPARTAN-117. However, from Cortana's reports, the marines gave a good fight against their attackers, as SPARTAN-117 came across several Covenant Elite corpses, ridden with bullet holes. Fire Team Charlie did not die in vain: Captain Keyes was freed from his Covenant prison cell by the SPARTAN-117. 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 Avery 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, or near Alpha Base. 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 and the newly captured Truth and Reconciliation, his actions leading to the marines destroying and going down with their ship, all hands with it- but preventing the Flood from escaping Halo. The victims of the Infection Forms were either killed by Johnson during his flee from the weapons cache, destroyed by SPARTAN-117 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.
