Miller's Reconnaissance Team

Miller's Reconnaissance Team was assigned to scout out Makin Atoll. They were caught, tortured, and many of them killed.
Miller, Cook, and Hutchinson were the only survivors of the recon team. K. Pyle's throat was slit and Henderson was beaten to death. Hutchinson and Cook were evacuated via assault raft right after being saved while Miller joined Sullivan's team in fighting their way out.
Three possible members of the recon team are Pfc Luyties, Cpl. Lozano, and Cpl. Rivera. Rivera is seen if the player takes a left onto the first platform walkway they encounter along with Denny, Snider, and Slayback. When approaching the end of the platform, one can see a Japanese soldier assaulting Rivera. Rivera may have been captured earlier but escaped and was attempting to reach the rescue force. Lozano is seen shortly afterward when he shoots a Japanese officer who stumbles out of a large hut. It is possible that Lozano had concealed a pistol on his person prior to being captured and used the chaos of Sullivan's team's attack to make his move. However, Luyties, Lozano, and Rivera are wearing web gear while all the confirmed surviving and killed members of the recon team are only wearing fatigues and show bloodstains from their torture.
It is also possible that unlisted members of the team were imprisoned elsewhere, their fates unknown.

* In Verrückt, one of the Marines may yell out "For Private Pyle!", indicating he knew Pvt. Pyle. For this to be the Marine had to be in Miller's Reconnaissance team.
* In the start of the level, one can see Pvt. Henderson tied to a post already dead, but his name still appears as if he was alive.
