A '''combat team''' is a type of [[UNSC Marine Corps]] unit{{Ref/Level|Id=tpoa|HCE|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn}}, used in particular by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].{{Ref/Site|Id=ODST|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16271|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 11/21/08|D=13|M=10|Y=2014}}


A '''Combat Team''' is often confused with a Fire Team and the names are often interchanged. The designation "Team" is used in reference to almost any small unit. A Combat Team (or a Section) is composed of two [[UNSC Marine]] [[Squad]]s and numbers about 8-12 Marines, led by a [[Sergeant]] or [[Staff Sergeant]]. A Fire Team is smaller: 2-3 Marines.
==Composition==
Combat teams are formed of 10-14 operators, seemingly roughly analogous to the [[squad]]s found in the Army and Marine Corps. They are organised at the [[company]] level, with six to eight combat teams comprising each company though this can vary from company to company. Each combat team in the company specialises in a particular mission-set, in which they are expected to excel. Despite this, they are also expected to be able to adapt to fit any given situation.{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}} Combat teams were present on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} when it arrived at [[Installation 04]], leading to several combat teams aboard the ship being assigned to ship-board defense duty.{{Ref/Reuse|tpoa}} During the later [[Battle of Earth]], [[Miranda Keyes]] called on any available combat teams within [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]] to defend the barracks.{{Ref/Level|H3|Crow's Nest}}


The way to differentiate between the two is this: A [[Fire Team]] is part of a squad. A squad is part of a Combat Team.
==Known combat teams==
By this logic, [[Fire Team Charlie]] and [[Fire Team Zulu]] were technically Combat Teams.
===UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' teams===
A Fire Team would provide covering fire for the rest of the squad or an Assault Team to flank and destroy the enemy.
