==Notes==
*At first glances, people thought that they were slaughtered by manageable numbers of [[Grunts]], leading some players and fans to think that they were implied to be a poor example of a platoon. But in reality, the 105th Platoon was simply overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
{{Ref/Notes}}
*The 105th Platoon should not be confused with the [[105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division]], although both may have served similar roles.
*Although it is assumed that the platoon is an ODST platoon due to the 'jet drop' title  there is no actual evidence in the book that they are ODSTs and could possibly be parachutists.
