-A '''Fire Team''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] organizational unit for ground infantry forces, like the [[Marine]]s or the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s. They generally consist of four or fewer soldiers, althogh they are known to work as seven (i.e. Fireteam Charlie-[[Halo (level)|on Halo]] and are grouped into squads.

+A '''fireteam''' is the smallest organization that ground forces are assigned to in the [[UNSC Army]], [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] and [[Spartan Operations|Spartan branch]]. As the smallest unit, it serves as the base upon which all other units are organized. The closest organizational unit in the [[Covenant military]] is known as a [[lance]].
-The concept of the Fire Team is based on the need for tactical flexibility in infantry operations. One fire team is capable of autonomous operations even when grouped into a larger unit.
+==Background==
+===Function===
+The concept of the fireteam is based on the need for tactical flexibility in infantry operations. They generally consist of approximately four soldiers or Marines who are formed into a [[squad]]. Generally, a squad contains three fireteams.
+A fireteam is capable of autonomous operations as part of a larger unit. Successful fireteam employment relies on quality small unit training for troops, experience of its members operating together, sufficient communications infrastructure, and a quality non-commissioned officer corps to provide tactical leadership for the team.
+Under the [[Unified Ground Command|UNICOM]] [[UNSC rank structure#UNICOM ranks|rank structure]], Fireteams are led by an E-4 Corporal, with an E3 Lance Corporal serving as the Fireteam Assistant.<ref name="OSFM142">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', PART 8: UNSC ORGANISATION, UNICOM Ranks (p. 142-143)</ref>
+On some occasions, some Fireteam that has been disbanded, mostly lack of members because of reassignment, killed in action, resign, or incarcerated, may often be reinstated again based on higher-up decisions or when the previous fireteam leader request to put the former member together once more. [[Alpha-Nine]], an ODST squad formed by [[Edward Buck]] disbanded for four years is now reinstated as Spartan Fireteam.
