===Action and Role===
Non-Company Team 4, also known as Red Team, was an Augmented Special Warfare Team put together to conduct sensitive special warfare missions. Under the administrative control of the UNSC Navy and the operational control of the Unified Special Warfare Command, Red Team conducted the majority of their operations on behalf of Unified Ground Command. Later, they were placed under the operational control of Naval Special Warfare Command after the Fall of Reach. Like other Non-Company Teams from the SPARTAN-III Program, Red Team's mission qualifications were Direct Action, Hostage Rescue, Unconventional Warfare, Special Reconnaissance, High-Value Target Apprehension, and Joint Special Warfare Service. Their secondary qualifications ranged from Command and Control to Sensitive Acquisition.

==Operational History==
Following the Fall of Reach, Red Team was only operational with two SPARTANs, its Ground Force Commander Lieutenant Oriana-A058 and reconnaissance specialist Samuel-B256. Arriving at Earth, Red Team was given priority in receiving two operational assets from what remained of Echo and Strident Team. Chief Petty Officer Werner-A364 was a demolitions specialist while Raegan-B142 was a communications specialist. Both Echo and Strident Team were disbanded and merged to reform the strength of Red Team under a commissioned officer, Oriana-A058. In the wake of Colonel James Ackerson's reassignment to Mars, the UNSC Navy received operational and tactical control of Red Team again. Red Team was transferred out of Unified Special Warfare Command and into Naval Special Warfare Command. Within Naval Special Warfare Command, they were attached to Naval Special Weapons under the command of Lieutenant Verlin Stenbeck as the Officer-in-Charge of all activities outside of the Ground Force Commander's position.
Breaking the natural chain-of-command, Oriana placed Samuel as her second-in-command with Werner being third and Raegan being forth. The two elements of Red Team became Alpha-Red including Oriana and Werner while Beta-Red included Samuel and Raegan. To fill the gaps of existing capabilities, Samuel became the designated marksman, Werner took over heavy weapons, and Raegan handled security. The broadening of tasks forced the SPARTANs to shoulder more responsibilities and knowledge on responding to evolving threats during the Battle for Earth. The members of Red Team took the lessons they learned from Reach and conducted an intense knowledge transfer to not repeat the same mistakes their peers made.
