Introduction
A Squad is a military unit used by the UNSC Marine Corps in the organisation of its combat personnel. Normally, a squad can consist of anywhere between eight to fourteen members, and can be further divided into Fireteams for combat operations.

Normally, a squad is composed of at least two, usually three, Fireteams of four Marines under the command of a Non-Commissioned Officer, usually a Corporal, Sergeant or Staff Sergeant[1]
Numerous times, however, smaller teams of four to six Marines have been referred to as squads[2][3], indicating that the UNSC may use a smaller system for Special Forces groups such as the ODST and Naval Special Warfare units.
