Fireteam Zulu was a United Nations Space Command Marine unit stationed aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn that actively participated in the Battle of Installation 04. They are first heard of by SPARTAN-117 about a third the way through the Assault on the Control Room when the Master Chief stepped out onto a bridge spanning a large valley.
"This is Fire Team Zulu requesting immediate assistance from any UNSC forces. Does anyone copy?"
The Pelican that transported Fire Team Zulu was attacked by Covenant Banshees on its descent to drop off the Fire Team. After deploying the troops, along with a Warthog, the dropship flew out of view into the next valley where it crashed. The crash was not witnessed but it is assumed that it was due to the damage sustained from the Banshee attack. [1] Weapons that were brought in by Team Zulu include a Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, and a Warthog. The Master Chief, on meeting up with Fire Team Zulu, helped by destroying a Ghost and a couple of Shade turrets. Upon linking up with Zulu, Spartan-117, with a Marine manning the [LAAG]], destroyed a nearby Wraith guarding the valley.[2]
A Scorpion Tank was present near the dropship's crash site in the next valley, but it doesn't seem likely to have been brought in by Team Zulu as a Pelican can only lift a Scorpion or a Warthog due to weight limits and the Fire Team Zulu Pelican can be seen carrying a Warthog from the bridge.
The tank was presumably brought in earlier by another Marine unit. Later, the Master Chief encountered Marines from a previous mission. Cortana announces their presence by saying, "I thought the Covenant had eliminated all Marine forces in the area". Apparently, they hadn't. These Marines were probably not part of Fire Team Zulu, because the teams were nowhere near each other. They could, however, have been part of the same platoon or company.
Fire Team Zulu then assisted the Chief as he fought his way through the valleys but when the Master Chief had to return back inside, they did not follow because evac had become available.
Fire Team Zulu had at least one Corporal[3] and one Sergeant[4]. The squad was approximately 13 Marines strong, and later encountered the survivors of another 10-man squad, as mentioned above.
The surviving members of Fire Team Zulu were likely killed when Installation 04 was destroyed.
