Red Squad

Red Squad or Cadet Training Squadron 47 was an elite group of cadets at Starfleet Academy. Red Squad members received special classes and advanced fieldwork training. In 2372, the program was a relatively new idea. A group of Red Squad cadets, including Riley Shepard, disabled the global power distribution center in Lisbon, allowing Admiral Leyton to launch his coup attempt.
Shortly before the outbreak of the Dominion War, Red Squad was assigned to crew the USS Valiant, on a training mission to circumnavigate the Federation. Following the outbreak of war, the Valiant found itself trapped behind enemy lines. When the ranking officers were killed, Cadet Tim Watters assumed command, and kept the ship behind enemy lines. For eight months, Red Squad carried out the missions assigned to the Valiant, until, on stardate 51825, the Valiant engaged a Dominion battleship prototype. The ship was lost, with only three survivors - one Red Squad cadet among them, Dorian Collins.
In ST_Deep_Space_9, Red Squad was re-instated in 2380 and mainly used in Future Plots. The Captain of the group was Patrick Reese until in 2405 his former first officer Kennedy Frobisher assumed command. There are approximately 20 supervisors and 30 Cadets on the USS Valiant every year. In 2385, the Valiant was reopened since the war with Reese as it's Captain.
