'''Flood containment Fireteams''' are an all-volunteer force of specialised [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] [[fireteam]]s employed for containment of the [[Flood]] parasite. These units have seen action in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts]], having employed their job successfully enough that most people haven't heard of a Flood outbreak in the interim. Should a Spartan become infected with the Flood, code [[CORRUPTER]] is declared and weapons of mass destruction are deployed to contain the threat.{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=172-175}} Such infected Spartans have been simulated in [[War Games]].{{Ref/Mode|H4|Flood (gametype)|Flood}}{{Ref/Mode|H2A|Infection}} The Flood containment fireteams have employed specialised anti-Flood equipment such as the [[Hazops Cyclops]] or the [[HIVEMIND-class Mjolnir|Hivemind]] and [[OSTEO combat engineering suit|OSTEO]] armors.{{Ref/Game|Id=Desc|H3|Armor customization (Halo 3)|Armory|Detail=Hivemind Description}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CF142|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder 142: System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}} Several [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] variants developed for the GEN2 platform were created with the Flood's potential infection in mind, with eponymously-named ''Flood'' visor being designed specifically for such teams, while the Gallows visor equips the helmet with failsafe charges for use in the event of a suit compromise.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armory|Detail=Flood visor description|Quote=As the name implies, the Flood VISR is built specifically for Spartan assessment and containment teams deployed to Forerunner sites that may house samples of the all-devouring parasite.}}{{Ref/Game|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armory|Detail=Gallows visor description|Quote=Made for special forward observation teams operating in quarantine zones, failsafe charges in the Gallows VISR will destroy the helmet (and everything in it) in case of compromise.}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFProtocol|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-of-protocols-and-prisons|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Of Protocols and Prisons|D=7|M=3|Y=2022}} | |||
