Unit/Trooper?
Regarding the subject of this article, as well as several other similarly designated units in Halo: Reach, I think their classification as military units may not be entirely correct. Why I'm assuming this is because in Winter Contingency, we learn that Travis' call sign is "3 Charlie 6". It has also been mentioned that "3 Charlie" is the name of their unit; thus, 3 Charlie Six is an individual trooper within a unit designated 3 Charlie.
If the other Army units such as this one follow the same format, "7 Charlie" would be the unit's designation while "7 Charlie 40" would be the call sign of a single trooper. Correct me if I'm wrong though. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 15:51, 24 November 2010 (EST)
- I doubt 7 Charlie 40 is a unit. I'd say he's the fortieth member of platoon 7 Charlie, or something along those lines, just as Travis is 3 Charlie 6. --"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have." -Thomas Jefferson 19:56, 24 November 2010 (EST)
