Red Team (SPARTAN-II) (Earth-4001)

Red Team is a name given to a number of mission-specific formations of Spartan-II supersoldiers subordinate to the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. Although Red Team generally operated at a size of around six members, more Spartans could be selected for missions that called for a larger force. Various iterations of Red Team actively participated in numerous battles against the Covenant, including the Battle of Arcadia, the Battle of Jericho VII, the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, and the Fall of Reach. One incarnation of Red Team was also among the first members of the UNSC who engaged Forerunner Sentinels and various Flood forces.

History
The history of Red Team is the same as its mainstream counterpart up until the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2553.
