- — A Marine operator from Alpha Platoon calling for help.
Alpha Platoon was a part of the UNSC Marine contingent aboard the UNSC Spirit of Fire in 2531. It consisted of several infantry squads and an M850 Grizzly.[1]
During the Battle of the Etran Harborage, Alpha Platoon, along with Bravo Platoon and Charlie Platoon, was left on the planet's surface, trapped behind a canyon infested with Flood structure and biomass, when the UNSC Spirit of Fire was being pulled into the one of the many portals connecting the Shield World's surface to its interior. UNSC ground forces were able to destroy the Flood infestation between Alpha Platoon and UNSC firebase, allowing the D77-TC Pelican to extract the Marines back to UNSC Spirit of Fire. The Grizzly tank volunteered to remain and help evacuate the other two platoons.[1]
