A squad is a military unit used by the UNSC Marine Corps in the organization of its combat personnel. In the UNSC Marine Corps, a squad can consist of anywhere between eight and thirteen members,[1][2] and can be further divided into Fireteams for combat operations.

Composition[]

The UNSC Marine Corps does follow the general structure used by the 20th and 21st Century US Marine Corps, although exact numbers differ. Normally, a squad is composed of three Fireteams of four or five Marines under the command of a non-commissioned officer, usually a Corporal. A Sergeant[3] commands the squad as a whole.

The UNSC may use a smaller system for Special Forces groups, [4] such as the ODST and Naval Special Warfare units.

Squads within a platoon are numbered, i.e., 1st Squad, 2nd Squad, and so forth, with a Platoon normally composed of at least two Squads, and sometimes three or four.
