==Operational History==
Fireteam Wizard was formed from the ashes of the Battle of Earth, in late-2552. Its three founding members would all be from the adhoc Foxtrot Team, organised during the Australian Campaign of the battle from the remnants of Bourbon Team, and Halberd Team - both gutted by the fierce fighting within against Covenant loyalist forces. Foxtrot Team, comprised of Spartan-IIIs Michael-B416, Connor-B067, and Ellie-G289, would be formed on the 4th of November by the commander of all UNSC forces in Sydney, Vice Admiral Jacob Esperance. The team's first meeting together was initially cold and unproductive - Michael and Connor were shocked that there was a new, younger generation of Spartan-IIIs, whilst Ellie was annoyed that she was forced to work under two supersoldiers she had never met before. Despite the tension, the three got to work raiding Covenant supply dumps and ammunition depots behind the fluid and thin frontline within Sydney, demolishing city blocks and collapsing tunnels to slow the grinding Covenant advance. During these raids, Ellie grew accustomed to working with the two older Spartans, as the three grew a little closer - although it would take a little more time for the three to consider themselves close.
Michael's stint as commander of Foxtrot Team led to a change in the young Spartan's overall outlook in responsibility and leadership. The former 2IC of Bourbon Team had seen almost all of his team die, and as such changed his style of leadership to be more protective of his squadmates and responsible in what actions and missions they would attempt. This had the effect of entering Michael into Ellie's good graces, who had also seen her entire fireteam killed right in front of here mere days before. On the 10th of November, Foxtrot Team was transferred out of Sydney and dispatched to the Shanghai Special Economic Zone, to lead UNSC counterattacks against Covenant remnants in the region. These operations displayed how far the trio had come in the past two weeks, marking targets for UNSC bombardment and leading shocktroopers in urban combat with ease, the three flowing off of each others' skills as if they had been working as a team for years.
