Echo Team is a UNSC Marine Shock Trooper team part of the 340th ODST Combat Training Unit,[1] which provides realistic combat training exercises for other UNSC Special Forces units. The unit is assigned to the Special Warfare Center in Seongnam, Kyonggi Province, United Korea.[2]
Mark VI MJOLNIR armor test
In October 2552, Echo and Kilo teams of ODSTs provided a mock combat exercise to test a suit of Mark VI MJOLNIR armor in Seongnam. Spartan-II Maria-062, who wore the armor, deployed from low Earth orbit via a parafoil and launched a sudden attack on the ODSTs. She was able to neutralize six ODST trainers with paint pellet guns, paint grenades, and hand-to-hand combat. However, as she entered structure Alpha-Two, she was quickly subdued by Kilo Team. Later, the armor was delivered to Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 only minutes before the Covenant's invasion of Earth.[2]
Equipment
During the exercise with Maria-062, the members of Echo Team utilized paint pellet guns, paint grenades, and "Humbler" stun devices. They wore standard ODST armor, which provides full protection to the body and face.[2]
