Noble Team

Noble TeamBungie.net: Bungie Weekly Update 12/11/09 (occasionally stylized as NOBLE Team), sometimes referred to as Team Noble or simply Noble, was a special fireteam sized unit of the UNSC Special Warfare Command Group Three, composed mostly of SPARTAN-III supersoldiers and one SPARTAN-II commando as of 2552.
Noble Team also operated with non-Spartan military personnel more extensively than other Spartan teams. To grant them more operational freedom when interacting with military personnel, the members of Noble Team had been given higher ranks than most Spartans by their CO.Bungie.net: Bungie Weekly Update: 01.29.10
==Service History==
===Origins===
In 2536, Carter-A259 graduated his training and was deemed too valuable to expend elsewhere and was given command of a fireteam. This fireteam would eventually be transferred to UNICOM and the UNSC Army in order to secure further support for the SPARTAN-III program within UNSC High Command.Halo Waypoint: Universe - Carter-A259
Thus the rest of the team were primarily composed of SPARTAN-IIIs pulled out of their main companies by Kurt-051 and Franklin Mendez before large-scale operations where the companies were mostly wiped out, Operation: PROMETHEUS in the case of Alpha Company and Operation: TORPEDO with Beta Company.
===Upgrade to MJOLNIR===
The team were issued with Mark V Mjolnir Armor on November 24, 2551.
===2552===
Prior to the Fall of Reach, Noble Team had managed to survive countless battles, always coming back from suicide assignments, but not without a cost: only two members of the original team, Carter and Kat, remained alive by 2552.GameInformer February 2010 issue In 2552, the team was under the command of Colonel Urban Holland of the UNSC Army.Bungie.net: NOBLE TEAM PERFORMANCE REPORTS
===Fall of Reach===
When Reach was deemed lost, and there was no hope of saving it, Noble Team ensured that humanity would have a fighting chance against the Covenant and future enemies by delivering a high priority package to Captain Keyes and making sure the Pillar of Autumn escaped intact with it. Three members of the team gave their lives for the mission, leaving only one member of the team still alive as the other two died during the Fall of Reach.
==Equipment==
The SPARTAN-IIIs of Noble Team utilized equipment on par with the SPARTAN-IIs, such as the Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor, which is far more advanced than the cheaper SPI armor worn by the rest of the SPARTAN-IIIs. Unlike the mainline SPARTAN-IIs, whose armor was fairly uniform in coloration, the members of Noble Team sported a variety of color schemes and field-customized armor variants.
==Composition==
Other Spartans were constantly kept on rotation for the team, including SPARTAN-344, who would take Emile's place in the case of a counterinsurgency operation. When one member fell in the line of duty, a new SPARTAN would be brought in as a replacement.
