Combat Team Romeo
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Combat Team Romeo was a combat team of the UNSC Marine Corps' Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.[1][Note 1]
Background[edit]
"Romeo" was a reserve combat team stationed aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552. Following its arrival at Installation 04 and the ensuing space battle, Covenant boarders would breach the Autumn. Romeo was sent alongside Combat Team Oscar to decks nine through eleven. Eventually, Captain Jacob Keyes would initiate a general evacuation of the ship, ordering combat teams Alpha through November to evacuate. Combat Team Sierra through Combat Team Victor evacuated after them.[1]
Combat Team Romeo's fate upon Landing on Installation 04 is unknown, though it is likely that any survivors were part of the battalion led by Major Antonio Silva later in the conflict. By the time of the destruction of the ringworld three days later, Combat Team Romeo (along with all other local UNSC and Covenant forces) was killed.
