==History==
The exact founding of the NCIS New Orleans team is unknown but what is known is that NCIS Special Agent Dwayne Pride and Christopher LaSalle are the team's two long-serving members, the two having met while working together in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina which occurred in August 2005.
In March 2014, with the team being low on manpower considering how two NCIS Special Agents composed of the field team for the NCIS: New Orleans office, NCIS Special Agent Meredith Brody from the NCIS Chicago field office was sent to New Orleans to assist Pride and LaSalle as the team were investigating a case connected to the Privileged Killer. 
After the case was solved, Brody later discovered that she was to stay in New Orleans permanently and with her addition, the NCIS New Orleans field team was now composed of three field agents.
In October 2014, computer specialist Patton Plame assisted the team on a case concerning the death of a Navy SEAL in a sorority house. He later joined the team permanently.
In May 2015, having worked with the team for a few months, ATF agent Sonja Percy expressed a desire to join the team and become an NCIS Special Agent which occurred in September 2015, bringing the team up to four members.
In May 2016, the team was placed on administrative leave for two weeks with members of the team choosing to either go on vacation or head back to their home state in the aftermath of Brody shooting her corrupt boyfriend, John Russo who was also an agent with the Department of Homeland Security dead.
In September 2016, the team returned from their two weeks off and it was revealed that Brody had abruptly resigned from NCIS and left the team altogether, leaving the remaining members of the team completely stunned and devastated at her decision. 
During that time, the FBI began investigating Pride and his team for their involvement with Russo with FBI agent Tammy Gregorio temporarily joining the team at Pride's request.
Some time later, Sebastian Lund finished his training to become an official NCIS Special Agent or rather, Forensic Agent and subsequently joined the main field team.
In January 2017, Gregorio who had been fired from the FBI subsequently became an NCIS Special Agent and also the newest member of Pride's team which was now composed of Pride, LaSalle, Sonja, herself and Sebastian. 
In April 2018, Sonja Percy resigned from the team to accept a position at the FBI.
In May 2018, Pride was attacked in the upstairs room of his bar and left for dead after being shot four times in the chest. Even though he survived, he was left greatly shaken by the incident and had permanent scars on his chest and back.
In October 2018, with Pride still on medical leave, NCIS Special Agent Hannah Khoury joined the team with Pride also revealing that she was the team's new boss and thus, the Special Agent in charge. 
In 2019, LaSalle embarked on a search for his missing brother, Cade with Sebastian's. However, the search the two conducted which regularly took them to various areas between Louisiana and Alabama soon turned into a long one as the leads they both investigated turned out to be nothing with the investigation ultimately ending on a tragic note for LaSalle when he discovered that his brother had been murdered.
In November 2019, LaSalle himself was shot by a suspect, Eddie Barrett and airlifted to hospital for treatment. Even though the outcome looked good, he eventually succumbed to his injuries and died, his death shocking the team who were also left devastated and hellbent on revenge with Pride eventually avenging LaSalle's murder by shooting Barrett dead.
In March 2020, NCIS Special Agent Quentin Carter joined the team as LaSalle's replacement.
Even though the show itself was cancelled in May 2021, it's presumed that the team is still active as of September 2021 with Pride as the team leader, Hannah his second-in-command and acting team leader in the event Pride is unavailable, Gregorio, Sebastian and Carter the three members with Loretta and Patton continuing to assist.
