Team Grizzly

Team Grizzly, more formally styled as TEAM GRIZZLY and sometimes referred to simply as GRIZZLY, was a 4-man team from the Spartan III program's Alpha Company team attached to Commando Group Alpha, with its members being dubbed as Category-II's, informally known as 'Cat-II's'. Team Grizzly was considered the second-best Commando team of Alpha company, only being behind Carter-A259's Panther Team who served as Commando Group Alpha's commander, however, due to its position, Grizzly leader, Ayrton-A384 was designated as Carter's XO.
Team Grizzly would serve in countless battles between the activation of Alpha Company in 2536 as a part of Commando Group Alpha, and continued long after the destruction of the main force of Alpha Company in 2537. Team Grizzly was eventually disbanded after the Battle of Saint-Denis in 2547. After which the remnants of Commando Group Alpha were merged with the remaining teams of Beta Companies, Commando Group Beta, forming Special Warfare Group Three. Resulting in the members of Fox Team being split up to serve in new, cross-company teams with their Beta company counterparts.

=== Training ===
Team Grizzly was one of the initial fireteams formed in 2533 by Lieutenant Junior Grade Kurt Ambrose in order to group the remainder of Alpha companies 497 candidates, into independent units for their future training. The team was led by Ayrton-A384, a well-liked and respected member of the company who showed leadership, known for his social skills, who additionally served as the teams technical expert and mechanic. The position of Second-in-Command was held by Rosenda-A344 who served as the Automatic rifleman. Grizzly 3 was Beth-A173 who served as the team's sniper, a quiet and mousy person, who was known for her artistic talents. This selection was not by random, as the three had developed a friendship during their training, something which had been factored into Kurt's decision on a company wide level.
In Late May of 2536 Team Grizzly was amongst the top 20 teams selected for a specialised Team elimination match, which they were informed was for 'assessment' purposes. Team Grizzly performed exceptionally well during this, eliminating Teams Mantis, Shark, Bobcat and Wold, becoming on of the last three teams left standing. Moving to engage one of the other two remaining teams, they encountered Faith-A199's Fox Team sparking a vicious firefight between the two, which eliminated Rosenda and Beth before all members of Fox could be neutralised. Unfortunately before Ayrton could recover Rosenda or Beth, Ayrton was ambushed by Carter-A259's Panther Team who despite his best attempts were able to eliminate him and win the match, with Grizzly taking a begrudging second-place. However, Grizzly had performed well enough in the exercise to be one of the six teams selected for an elite force of Alpha Company Spartans, officially dubbed as Category-II, but were more commonly referred to as either Cat-2's or as the Commandos.
