'''Combat Team Alpha''' was a [[UNSC Marine Corps]] unit. <ref>*''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Pillar of Autumn (Level)]]''</ref>
==Background==
"Alpha" was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]]. Following its arrival at [[Installation 04]] and the ensuing [[Battle Over Installation 04|space battle]], [[Covenant]] boarders would breach the ''Autumn'' on port decks three and nine. Combat Team Alpha would engage these boarders, before later linking up with [[Combat Team Charlie]] to report heavy fighting on decks five through nine. Eventually, Captain [[Jacob Keyes]] would initiate a general evacuation of the ship, ordering combat teams Alpha through [[Combat Team November|November]] to evacuate. [[Combat Team Sierra]] through [[Combat Team Victor]] evacuated after them.{{Ref/Reuse|poa}}


==Background==
Combat Team Alpha's fate upon [[Landing on Installation 04]] is unknown, though it is likely that any survivors were part of the [[battalion]] led by Major [[Antonio Silva]] later in the conflict. By the time of the destruction of the ringworld three days later, Combat Team Alpha (along with all other local UNSC and Covenant forces) was killed.
"Alpha" was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]]. During the abandonment of the warship, it was to hold off the invaders until all non-bridge operations personnel escaped in [[lifepods]] and then retreat to an evacuation station aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn'' during the [[Covenant]] boarding action. [[Combat Team Sierra]] through [[Combat Team Victor]] evacuated after them.
