==Copper Team==
Copper Team was a group of Spartan-IIs under the operational command of Naval Special Warfare Command. They actively participated in several battles, including the Battle of Harvest, the Battle of Actium, and the siege of Paris IV, in addition to participating in Operation: Sidewinder, an attempt to capture the traitor Hector Nyeto.
Copper Team was formed in 2525 around two three person teams with a compliment of six members. It was lead for most of the early Human-Covenant War by Sheila-065, until the disappearance of Red Team along with the UNSC Spirit of Fire in 2531. After which several Spartan's were shuffled between teams, resulting in command being passed to August-099, who remained in command until the team was disbanded prior to the Battle of Reach, with the team never reforming due to all of its members being either incapacitated or killed during said battle.
Copper Team would be the second team to lose a Spartan in action, when Copper Six, Nora-056 perished in an engagement with Covenant infantry during the tail-end of the Harvest Campaign in 2531. Though unlike Samuel-034, Nora's death was due to her own overconfidence and lack of co-operation with her own team, resulting in her own death at the hands of the Elite commanding officer, Ustaf 'Nbekee. This was contrasted by the performance of Copper Five, Keiichi-047 whose assistance to Battle Group Phi was instrumental to to the successful outcome of the engagement, despite suffering from COM glitches throughout the battle.
After the conclusion of the Harvest Campaign, Copper Team's composition was reshuffled to account for the loss of Nora, in addition to Jerome-092, Alice-130 and Douglas-042 who had gone missing along with the UNSC Spirit of Fire. Sheila was transferred to take command of Gold Team along with Maria-062,whilst Randall-037 was sent to join Green Team. They were replaced by Red Teams number two, August-099 who took command of Copper Team along with Leon-011 who to the empty position of Copper Six, whilst Gold Teams Naomi-010 and Vinh-030 were brought in as the new Copper's Three and Five respectively, with Keiichi now taking the now vacant position of Copper Four.
This composition would mostly persist until the Fall of Reach, with the only changes being Vinh's reassignment to Green Team in 2535 which brought the team down to five members permanently, followed by Will-043's move in 2544 (also to Green Team) with his replacement being Robert-025 as the new Copper Five, with the rest of the team adjusting their positions due to Will's departure. During the Fall of Reach Copper Team was folded into the amalgamated Spartan force, designated as Red Team, who were sent to the planets surface to assist in its defence. Due to casualties sustained during operations on Reach, Copper Team was never reformed, with Keiichi having been killed on landing, whilst August, Naomi, Leon and Robert, under the sub-designation of Beta-Red, had all been badly injured. Either due to enemy action in Naomi's case, or as a result of a near point-blank MAC barrage by the UNSC Majestic as they were clearing the blast area aboard the pelican 'Iron Fist' which nearly brought down said craft.
Due to her lighter injuries Naomi was the first to recover, though not in time for the wars conclusion, was seconded to the Office of Naval Intelligence's covert operations team, Beta-Five. Whilst August, Leon and Robert would adopt the moniker of Omega Team for operations in the post-war environment.

=Beta Company=
==Team Brigand==
Team Brigand , more formally styled as TEAM BRIGAND and sometimes referred to simply as BRIGAND, was a 2-man Headhunter team drawn from the Spartan III program's Beta Company.
Brigand Participated in a number of classifed operations between the activation of Beta Company in 2544 on behalf of the UNSC Navy and Office of Naval Inteligence. The Team was disbanded after the death of team leader Monika-B152 during the course of Operation: TRUANT, a seek and destroy mission on the Covenant held planet designated BX-413 against a supply dump located on its surface. Officially this would be due to enemy fire following the completion of the Brigand's primary directive as they were disengaging from the enemy, according to the report filed by the surviving team member, Dylan-B224.
However, unbeknownst to his ONI handlers, Monika did not perish immediately after being hit by Covenant fire, instead being gravely wounded by a Hunter's fuel rod cannon which amputated one of her legs, whilst burning both of her hands beyond any use. Despite this Dylan attempted to carry his teammate to their extraction point, through arduous terrain whilst being actively pursued by Covenant hunter-killer groups. Despite his best efforts it would be Monika who realised that unless he left her behind, both of them would perish on the surface of BX-413, a fact she repeatedly made clear to him, who finally accepted the situation, after nearly succumbing to the exhaustion he was suffering from.
Aware that Monika could not be taken prisoner under any circumstances, and unable to do so herself Dylan was forced to euthanise his teammate to prevent her capture by the enemy, before proceeding to the evacuation site, though not before burying Monika's body, which nearly caused him to miss the evacuation ship.
Following the mission, Dylan was reassigned to the newly created Jericho Team, led by Beta Company member, Yuri-B410 as the teams scout-sniper, under the new callsign of, Jericho Five.

==Jericho Team==
Jericho Team, more formally styled as JERICHO Team and sometimes referred to simply as Jericho, was a 5-spartan team from the Spartan III program, being attached to the UNSC's Special Warfare Group Three, with its members being dubbed as Category-II's, informally known as 'Cat-II's', under the leadership of the veteran team leader, Yuri-B410.
Jericho Team would serve in countless battles after 2547, with a brief participation in the Battle of Reach, before being redeployed to aid UNSC Forces during the Battle of Tribute minus Dylan-B224 who was conducting deep reconnaissance at the time. Whilst the defence of the colony was initially in the UNSC's favour, the arrival of Covenant reinforcements would spell the end of organised resistance on the planet with Jericho Team retreating to the planets capital, Casbah City where they would mount a rear-guard action to cover the evacuation of the planets remaining civilian population from the cities spaceports.
However, despite the assistance of the Spartan-II programs Team Black, Jericho Team was engaged a massive Covenant assault force, which eventually separated the two teams as Black Team retreated to protect the cites passenger spaceport, whilst Jericho withdrew to defend the cities cargo port, Casbah Station. There Jericho Team would mount a final defence of the facility alongside the few remaining UNSC forces left in the area, where they would inflict horrendous damage onto the multiple waves of Jiralhanae packs sent against them until their overstretched line was eventually breached by a renewed assault reinforced by a single Type-52 Scarab.
Realising that they was little chance of escape and trying to buy time for any of the remaining civilians to escape, Jericho Team would fight a Brutal last stand, destroying the Scarab and eliminating a large number of the attacking alien horde before they eventually succumbed to the overwhelming Covenant numbers. However, the victorious aliens would have little chance to celebrate the deaths of the four Spartan's as like Team Colt nearly eight years prior, the Spartan's had linked their bio-monitors to the facilities fusion reactor which had been programmed to immediately overload and destroy the entire facility upon the Spartan's bio-readings being lost. The resultant explosion would obliterate both the freight port and much of the local vicinity, taking any remaining Covenant forces in this area along with it and distract much of the enemy airpower that had decimated the evacuation ships thus far, allowing so a small number of ships and their passengers to escape the colony, who would later recount the brave sacrifice of Jericho Team to the UNSC, who would later honour the Spartans by recreating Casbah Station for use in the training of Spartan-IV super soldiers.
However, whilst the majority Jericho Team had fallen in a action on Tribute, Dylan, having concluded his solo mission and unable to re-join his team on Tribute due to the worsening situation on both Reach and Tribute, had been attached to Ayrton-A384's Brimstone Team for the remainder of the battle. Following which and after the confirmation of the loss of Jericho Team, Dylan would be permanently reassigned to Brimstone Team as a replacement for the recently deceased Beth-A173.
