'''Fire Team Charlie''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] unit stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} that actively participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]].
 
==Background==
Fire Team Charlie was led by the [[Master Chief]] to rescue Captain Keyes, who had been captured by the [[Covenant]]. Although many were killed, some still survived. Eventually, Keyes led the remaining Marines to a "weapons cache", where most of the team was killed, as a result of the [[Flood]].

{{Main|Battle of Reach}}


During the final stages of the of [[Fall of Reach|Fall of]] [[Reach]], an element of Fire Team Charlie, consisting of [[Sergeant Johnson]] and Privates [[O'Brien (Reach)|O'Brien]], [[Bisenti]] and [[Wallace Jenkins|Jenkins]] were stationed aboard [[Gamma Station]] above the planet. The team were struggling to take out a large group of [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Ranger|Rangers]] when a group of [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] led by [[John-117]] intervened. The Marines assisted the SPARTANs with their objective, destroying the NAV database of the [[UNSC Circumference|UNSC ''Circumference'']] which was docked in the station. After this was accomplished, the Marines left the station and boarded the ''Pillar of Autumn''. The ''Autumn'', with Fire Team Charlie aboard, then [[slipstream space|jumped]] away from the battle.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Fall of Reach|Chapter=37}}
When the Master Chief was sent to retrieve vital data, he encountered Sergeant Major Johnson and Privates [[Wallace Jenkins]], [[Bisenti]], and [[O'Brien]]. After the data was retrieved, the Marines were also escorted to the ''Pillar of Autumn''. The ''Autumn'', with Fire Team Charlie aboard, then [[Slipspace|jumped]] away from the battle.

When the ''Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]], it found itself under immediate attack from the [[Covenant]], who had followed the ship from Reach. In response, Captain [[Jacob Keyes]] ordered all personnel to evacuate the ship and make landfall on the ring. Fire Team Charlie managed to repel the enemy long enough for them to escape via a [[Bumblebee escape pod]].
When the ''Autumn'' arrived, they found that there were [[Covenant]] forces around them, and was soon assaulted by the aliens. Fire Team Charlie, led by Sergeant Johnson, managed to repel the enemy long enough for them to escape via a [[Bumblebee Escape Pod]].  


Some pods had been destroyed on impact, killing the unprotected Marines within.{{Ref/Level|HCE|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn}} The escape pods who had survived were spread out, and as a result, the Covenant located them quickly, attacking the Marine survivors. Fire Team Charlie soon found themselves under attack by Covenant strike teams. Thankfully, the Master Chief, who had landed in a nearby valley, arrived to provide assistance. The SPARTAN helped the Marines hold out until a [[Echo 419|Pelican]] dropship arrived to pick them up. The team was brought to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] while the Master Chief went on a mission to rescue other surviving Marines. Part of Fire Team Charlie was assigned to board and rescue Captain Keyes, who had been captured by the Covenant and was being held aboard the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. The team was deployed to assist the Master Chief and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] who had secured the ship's [[gravity lift]].{{Ref/Level|Id=TnR|HCE|The Truth and Reconciliation}}
Some of the pods had been destroyed on impact, killing the unprotected soldiers within. The Escape Pods who had survived were spread out, and as a result, the Covenant located them quickly, attacking the Marines. The Master Chief, who had also escaped, went on a mission to rescue the remaining Marines. Even with his assistance, the Covenant managed to capture [[Captain]] [[Keyes]]. Part of Fire Team Charlie was assigned to board and rescue Keyes with the Master Chief.


During the assault on the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', Fire Team Charlie, led by [[Sergeant]] [[Parker]], remained at the ship's bridge while the Master Chief continued alone to rescue Keyes. Once separated from the SPARTAN, the team were killed by [[Stealth Sangheili]] armed with [[Type-1 energy sword|energy swords]]. However, from Cortana's reports, the Marines put up a good fight against their attackers, as John-117 came across several Covenant [[Sangheili]] corpses ridden with bullet holes. Fire Team Charlie did not die in vain: Captain Keyes was freed from his Covenant prison cell by the Chief and successfully extracted from the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=TnR}}
During the assault on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', Fire Team Charlie, led by [[Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]] [[Parker]], helped SPARTAN-117 assault the [[Covenant]] ship to rescue Captain Keyes. This Marine strike team was by [[Stealth Elites]] armed with [[Energy Swords]] once separated from [[SPARTAN-117]]. However, from Cortana's reports, the Marines gave a good fight against their attackers, as SPARTAN-117 came across several Covenant [[Elite]] corpses, ridden with bullet holes. Fire Team Charlie did not die in vain: Captain Keyes was freed from his Covenant prison cell by the SPARTAN-117. It is presumed that some of Fire Team Charlie survived the battle on the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' because some of the Marines were kept in reserves.


The remaining portion of Fire Team Charlie, led by [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], went with Captain Keyes to search for a [[weapons]] cache that turned out to be a [[Flood containment facility]].{{Ref/Level|HCE|343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark}} Fire Team Charlie's Marines were either turned into [[Flood]] [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] or went [[Missing in action|MIA]]. Sergeant Johnson managed to escape from the facility, killing several of his infected comrades. PFC [[Chips Dubbo]] managed to link up with Corporal [[Lovik|Lovik's]] [[Second squad (Pillar of Autumn)|squad]] and was extracted by Echo 419. The only other known "survivor" of the expedition to search for the "weapons" was Jenkins, who was controlled by a weaker Pod infector.
This Fire Team Charlie was part of [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]]'s [[platoon]] and was with Captain Keyes and Johnson when they went searching for a [[weapons]] cache that turned out to be the [[Flood]]. Fire Team Charlie's Marines were either turned into [[Flood]] [[Combat Forms]] or went [[MIA]] onboard the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', or near Alpha Base. The only known "survivor" of the expedition to search for the "weapons" was Jenkins, who was controlled by a weaker Infection Form.  


Jenkins proceeded to alert the Marines of the Flood's presence below Alpha Base, allowing them to exterminate them. Later he was brought onboard the newly captured ''Truth and Reconciliation''. His actions lead to the destruction of the ship, preventing the Flood from escaping Halo. The victims of the [[Pod infector]]s were either killed by Johnson during his flight from the weapons cache, destroyed by the Master Chief during his escape from the facility, defeated by [[Melissa McKay|McKay]]'s ODST Platoon, destroyed aboard the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', killed either by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] troops, when the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' crashed, or during the destruction of [[Installation 04|Halo]].
He proceeded to alert the Marines of the Flood's presence below Alpha Base and the newly captured ''Truth and Reconciliation'', his actions leading to the marines destroying and going down with their ship, all hands with it - but preventing the Flood from escaping Halo. The victims of the [[Infection Forms]] were either killed by Johnson during his flee from the weapons cache, destroyed by SPARTAN-117 during his escape from the facility, defeated by [[McKay]]'s ODST Platoon, destroyed aboard the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', or were killed during the destruction of [[Installation 04|Halo]].
