'''Combat Team Alpha | ==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}} | |||
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. | |||
